Summer House co-stars Kyle Cooke, 43, and Amanda Batula, 34,have split after four years of marriage.

On Monday the actors shared a statement to social media.

'After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,' Batula and Cooke began in an Instagram message.

'We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.'

A source told Daily Mail the two were not seen together on December 31: 'Kyle and Amanda did not spend New Year's Eve together. Kyle hosted a party at Leonetta's speakeasy lounge, Leo's Famous, in New York City. Amanda was not there.  

'His best friend Carl Radke showed up to support. While Kyle was not flirting with other women, he did end up hanging out with some female fans. He and his pals were the last to leave the venue that night.'

Batula was also not with Cooke when she attended the L'Oreal Academy Launch Event at The Shops in New York City just a week ago on January 12.

It was a long road to matrimony for Cooke and Batula. 

They first got romantic at the end of season one in 2017. By season two they could be seen arguing over whether to move in together. And then in season three, Cooke admitted to cheating on Batula just months before he proposed marriage. 

Ultimately, the couple were able to work out their differences and decided to move forward with their wedding, as seen in the most recent season five. 

They were originally slated to walk down the aisle in September 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to push back the big day three times. 

After talking it over, Cooke and Batula decided they wanted to keep their wedding celebration close to home.

'I was like, "Why don't we do it in [my parents’] backyard?"' the reality star said during an appearance on Bravo’s The Daily Dish podcast in April. 

'They have this beautiful plot of land. It’s just, like, that epic party that we want to have.'

They wed at her family's home in New Jersey in September 2021. 'It was an emotional and beautiful ceremony,' a source confirmed to Page Six at the time.

Cooke shared his enthusiasm in an Instagram post before exchanging vows

The guest list who attended the backyard soiree included castmates Carl Radke, who served as Cooke's best man, Lindsay Hubbard, Danielle Olivera, Paige DeSorbo, Luke Gulbranson and Ciara Miller. 

Former Summer House star Everett Weston and Southern Charm cast members Austen Kroll and Craig Conover were also on hand for the nuptials.

'My everything. Let's do this,' Cooke captioned an Instagram photo of himself and his bride just before exchanging their vows.
