Amanda Batula expressed her desire to move to the suburbs and invest in a New Jersey property, regardless of her husband Kyle Cooke’s readiness to leave New York City, aiming for a change of scenery and considering future family plans. Despite Kyle’s reluctance and concerns about their relationship dynamics changing with the move, the couple is exploring options for a second home while still maintaining their city life, amidst navigating their careers and personal growth.
Amanda Batula from “Summer House” revealed her intention to move to the suburbs, potentially without her husband Kyle Cooke, seeking a change of scenery and a place to spend extended periods away from New York City.
Amanda Batula dropped a suburban bombshell in the latest “Summer House” episode. She’s eyeing a move to the ‘burbs, Kyle or no Kyle. They’re thinking about a New Jersey property. It’s not just any house, though. Amanda sees it as an escape from the city’s hustle.
Kyle’s not quite on board. He’s a city guy, through and through. But Amanda? She’s ready for a change. She’s craving some suburban peace, away from New York’s constant buzz.
The idea of living without Kyle for weeks doesn’t seem to faze Amanda. Paige DeSorbo and Ciara Miller, however, were taken aback. “A month at a time?” they echoed, disbelief in their voices.
Amanda’s over their apartment. No outdoor space, she lamented. She needs more. Kyle, on the other hand, loves their city nest. Yet, Amanda’s mind is set on a future with kids outside the city’s chaos.
Dinner in the Hamptons brought more revelations. Amanda doesn’t see New York as a place to raise children. Kyle thought they’d move when playdates required a yard. But Amanda’s not waiting around.
Paige tried to lighten the mood with a joke. But the tension was palpable. Kyle’s commitment to compromise was questioned. Danielle Olivera wasn’t convinced by his vague answers.
Meanwhile, a $1.4 million listing caught Amanda’s eye. Kyle’s hesitation? It’s in New Jersey, Amanda’s home state. He’s worried about the impact on their relationship. Change excites him, but he fears it’s only a temporary fix.
Their marriage in 2021 had its challenges. Starting a family and moving have been major points of contention. Yet, they’ve navigated reality TV drama, cheating scandals, and wedding delays.
Since filming, they’ve pumped the brakes on moving. Kyle shared with Us Weekly their current plans. Maybe they’ll buy a vacation home instead. Change is on their minds, but they’re taking it slow.
Their life remains in the city. Kyle’s running a stressful business. Plus, their dogs have put baby plans on hold. They’re figuring things out, one day at a time.
Catch “Summer House” on Bravo, Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET. It’s a glimpse into their lives, filled with drama, decisions, and the occasional suburban dream.
