NEED TO KNOW
Kyle Cooke is setting the record straight.
Following the release of a teaser for season 10 of Bravo’s Summer House, Kyle addressed his wife Amanda Batuala’s claims that he fell asleep at a fan’s apartment and “came home at like, 6:30 in the morning” in a statement shared exclusively with PEOPLE.
“There’s no excuse for staying out as late as I did, but I want to be clear that I did not sleep at a fan’s apartment,” Cooke, 43, says. “I was at an event that Amanda chose not to attend, which moved to a bar and then to an after-party.”
“I don’t use anything to keep myself wired, so I think I ended up falling asleep on a couch, and suddenly it was almost 6 a.m.,” he continues. “Do I regret the situation? Absolutely. But that’s the truth and full extent of what happened.”

When Amanda, 34, told Ciara Miller and Linsday Hubbard about Kyle’s alleged night out in the teaser, Ciara replied, “That’s f—— insane.”
The teaser further revealed tensions rising between Amanda and Kyle, who have been married since 2021. Amanda repeatedly shows concern over her husband’s lifestyle choices.
“I wanted him to stop going out and partying, and he found a career where he goes out late and parties,” Amanda said in a voice-over.

Elsewhere in the teaser, Kyle said he feels unsupported by his wife. “I played the biggest gig of my life, and Amanda couldn’t care less,” he said in response. “I don’t know what matters to her anymore.”
Another scene included in the season 10 teaser features the couple discussing their relationship and Kyle saying he believes their struggles stem from issues with “compatibility, chemistry [and] intimacy.”
As friction in their marriage continues, Ciara suggested that Amanda should threaten to leave Kyle if he doesn’t get his act together and treat her right in an emotional conversation depicted in the teaser.
Amanda, Kyle, Lindsay and Ciara return to Summer House for its tenth season along with Carl Radke, Jesse Solomon and West Wilson. Newcomers to the hit Bravo series includes Mia Calabrese, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan, Levi Sebree and Ben Waddell.
Summer House Season 10 arrives Feb. 3 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
