Ahead of the Summer House Season 10 premiere, Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula announced their divorce after four years of marriage. Kyle and Amanda’s relationship was a major part of Summer House from Season 1. Alas, it was rocky more often than not. So, fans weren’t terribly surprised. But they were curious to see how Season 10 would play out with this knowledge.

Leading up to the season premiere, Kyle and Amanda insisted things were as cordial as possible. They did press together, and Kyle honored her in a toast at the premiere party. More details about the timeline of their split also came out, as Amanda revealed they already broke up before BravoCon. But even if Kyle and Amanda hadn’t announced their split, the season premiere made it clear the writing was on the wall. We’re sure to see more of the marriage breakdown in the upcoming spin-off. But there were so many signs of it in the premiere alone, we had to make a list.

Summer House viewers know Kyle and Amanda always had problems. She even referenced the fans’ opinions about their relationship on screen. But the vibes in the premiere episode alone were extra tense. Amanda chose to ride with Ciara Miller instead of Kyle. It seemed the brief time she spent with Kyle in the car to meet Ciara was more than enough.

Somehow, they managed to make the first night meal even more awkward than newbie Bailey Taylor did when she burst into tears. It was like a millennial Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. In almost every scene, one made snarky comments about the other. Such as Kyle, after he saw Amanda holding chickens, cracking, “Amanda, I thought you forgot how to handle a cock.” Yikes!

Amanda wasn’t the only person Kyle had tension with either. Carl Radke hinted at the distance in their friendship throughout the episode. And the premiere opened with a flashforward of a major fight between the former besties to come. But Kyle’s doomed relationship with Amanda definitely took center stage in the premiere.

There was a lot to unpack. But here are a few of the most notable signs that Kyle and Amanda were headed for divorce not long after the season wrapped.

Kyle’s DJ career was the straw that broke the camel’s back in his marriage to Amanda

When the new girls said it seems like people just become DJs to party, Amanda said that was exactly right in Kyle’s case. In a flashback, she lamented that Kyle chose this career just as she asked him to party less and be at home more. At dinner, Amanda outright said that Kyle became a DJ just to spite her because of her ambitions to start a bathing suit line.

Later in a conversation with Ciara, Amanda said another friend knew a DJ who didn’t drink and went home right after his set. But Kyle wouldn’t be willing to do that. It’s not just Amanda either. Carl also doesn’t see Kyle as much since this new career. He sees the DJ career as Kyle not really committing to Amanda. It made them live two different lives.

In just one of the many uncomfortable moments between them at the dinner table, Amanda shared that Kyle lost his wedding ring. In response, she refused to wear her ring either. And wouldn’t put hers back on until he got a new one. Shakespeare couldn’t write better symbolism that the marriage was over than that. Jesse Solomon joked that they could cosplay as single … but it was obvious they wouldn’t have to cosplay soon enough.

In one of her heart-to-hearts with Ciara, Amanda admitted just how checked out she really was in her marriage. She revealed that yet another rumor came out, but they squashed it in the media. Still, her reaction surprised her … because she was barely affected by it. Amanda recalled how upset these rumors used to make her. Summer House fans surely flashed back to seasons past. But now, she’s numb to it all. Amanda realized how bad that sounds, and she wasn’t happy that she grew so used to it.

Later at West Wilson’s party, Amanda also admitted that the internet reactions to their marriage took a toll. There’s only so many times you can see comments telling you to get a divorce.

Kyle spent most of the premiere complaining about his wife. Specifically, how he felt ignored by her. He hoped to rekindle things at the house. But instead, she jumped in bed with the girls (Ciara and Jesse). Kyle said that they barely spent anytime together in the past few months. Once again, because of his DJ career. Since he’s touring, he was only in the city for one and a half weekends over the past six months.

At the dinner table, he lamented that she doesn’t ask him questions about his career (because she’s upset about it, Kyle!) and doesn’t listen. A fed up Amanda misheard this as him saying she was jealous, which she mocked. Then she realized she proved his point about listening.

At the party, Kyle told friends Amanda doesn’t make an effort. And he was “freaked out” that they were such opposites. Now more than ever, with Kyle as a DJ and Amanda as a bed bug.

As the party winded down, the cast jumped in the pool. Most of them in their clothes or underwear. Amanda joined in, and entered the pool in a bra and underwear. Despite comments that her boobs were out, she wasn’t naked. However, Kyle was convinced she jumped in naked. She had to tell and show him that she wasn’t. Even still, Kyle said she should’ve told him first. Amanda pointed out how ridiculous this was, as they all jumped in the pool at the same time. When would she have had the chance to give him a heads up anyway? Still, Kyle was upset.

And that’s how the premiere ended. It sure seems like it’s going to be a long summer for these two … and their housemates awkwardly caught in the middle.

Summer House is available to stream on Peacock.
