Kyle Cooke<\/a> was the last one suspicious of his estranged wife, Amanda Batula<\/a>, and West Wilson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While his friends had \u201cspidey senses\u201d about the situation, the 43-year-old Summer House star admitted during an interview<\/a> with People<\/a>, published on Wednesday June 10, that he ignored the signs.<\/p>\n

Days before the pair released their statement in March confirming their relationship, Kyle checked Amanda\u2019s location and realized that she spent the night at West\u2019s apartment. Kyle decided to get Ciara Miller involved and she asked for a face-to-face meet up \u2014 which was unheard of, according to Kyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t sleep,\u201d he recalled. \u201cCiara is a homebody. She wants to drag herself to my apartment to have a huddle? I had a sinking feeling in my stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another location check on Amanda, 34, before the news broke sealed the deal for Kyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking at her location and she\u2019s at an Irish dive bar in Southern L.A.,\u201d he recalled. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018That does not sound like a spot that Amanda would normally go to. She\u2019s with West. There\u2019s no other explanation.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Amanda told best friend Ciara, who dated West in 2023<\/a>, about the relationship first.<\/p>\n

\u201cCiara immediately called me and I finally heard from Amanda nine hours later,\u201d Kyle recalled. \u201cEven though I already had so many pieces of the puzzle, I was still in disbelief.\u201d<\/p>\n

He thought that a relationship with West would \u201cbe so reckless and thoughtless and irresponsible,\u201d which is what made Amanda\u2019s decision so confusing to him \u2014 and the rest of the Summer House<\/a> cast.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmanda is not usually any of those things,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Throughout the season 10 reunion \u2014 which aired its third part on Tuesday, June 9, \u2014 the cast tried to get answers out of Amanda and West. If you ask viewers, a lot is still unanswered. Kyle agreed, explaining that he \u201cexpected to learn more\u201d from the pair.<\/p>\n

Kyle told People on Wednesday that West was \u201cmore defensive than remorseful.\u201d The pair had a longer conversation, which was filmed and is set to air in a post-reunion special<\/a> on Tuesday, June 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cI finally got him to own up to some things I needed to hear him say,\u201d Kyle teased. \u201cIt was one of those conversations that I was like, \u2018I don\u2019t know what we just talked about for two and a half hours.\u2019 I\u2019m not saying we talked in circles, but maybe I was too easy on him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kyle Cooke was the last one suspicious of his estranged wife, Amanda Batula, and West Wilson.
