Kyle Cooke has fans thinking he’s moving on this summer.
The Summer House star, 43 — who split from estranged wife Amanda Batula before she and West Wilson revealed they are in a relationship — had followers questioning if he was leaving the Bravo reality show.
“End of an era 😭,” Cooke captioned a carousel of Instagram photos shared Thursday, June 18. “I can’t tell how hard it was to muster up a smile in this photo with my producers.”
“Per usual I was the last to leave the house when we wrapped because I lug so much gear out,” he continued. “But this year was different. 10 seasons in the books. A new show on the way. And a heartbreaking way to end one helluva run. I’m tearing up as I type this because we truly become a family shooting this show and it was a gut wrenching way to leave this house for good.”
Thanking the producers as well as the crew “for giving up their summer to make it all happen,” Cooke added: “I think we can finally close this chapter (but don’t blame me if I post some throwbacks that are a lot happier than me driving home all by myself as we filmed the cross over).”

“Finally, thank you to the fans for believing in this show and for all of your support over the last decade. ❤️ 🙏🏻 xoxo,” he concluded.
After fans and followers rushed to the comments asking Cooke what his cryptic post means, he made a slight edit to the caption.
“EDIT!” he wrote. “End of Season 10 and a decade of filming this show as I know it. The show isn’t cancelled and this is not me announcing I won’t return. I was feeling emo and always planned sharing the cover photo because it DID feel like the end of an era, which is why everyone else was so emotional saying their goodbyes on the finale. Sorry everyone!”
In May 2026, the series was renewed for an 11th season.
Cooke met Batula during the summer of 2015, but she only appeared as a guest during the first season of Summer House in 2017. She joined the reality show as a main cast member during the second season and has remained with the series since.
Fans of the couple have seen the two navigate the very public ups and downs of their relationship on the show.
Earlier this year, they said that they have “mutually and amicably decided to part ways” and requested privacy and “grace.”
