Amanda Batula told Kyle Cooke in the Season 10 finale that she wanted to “close that chapter and start over,” saying they would take time apart after his latest blowup.
Saturday night’s fight pushed her to that decision: Amanda said Kyle’s “fuck you” outburst, tantrum and near-fight with Carl Radke made her fear what “forever” would look like with him.
A hotel stay underscored the split, with Amanda saying she would spend the next few days away before driving alone into Manhattan as the episode’s closing image.
January’s public separation came after 4 years of marriage and 10 years together, while the season also tracked fallout from Amanda’s rumored and later acknowledged relationship with castmate West Wilson.
