Kyle Cooke's Instagram comment on Amanda Batula preceded their split

Pagesix reports that Kyle Cooke left a dig in a comment on Amanda Batula’s Instagram post on Jan. 14, and the pair announced their split five days later.

Batula, 34, shared a carousel of photos from 2016 as part of a viral trend; Cooke, 43, did not appear in any of the shots. In the comments he wrote, "I guess I was never in your camera roll," adding a laugh-cry emoji, a remark that several fans later noted "didn’t age well."

The couple posted a joint Instagram Story saying, "After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple," adding, "It feels ironic to ask for privacy at this time since we’ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship," and, "But your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter." The two began dating in 2016 and married in September 2021; Cooke admitted to cheating shortly before their 2018 engagement, and their marital problems featured in the Dec. 7, 2025 Season 10 trailer, which included Batula accusing Cooke of sleeping at a fan’s apartment and coming home "at like, 6:30 in the morning." In November 2025 a source said they could be heading for divorce, alleging the couple were living separately while working through the "challenging time" and were on different pages about where to live and when to start a family.
