Insiders are revealing Summer House<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Kyle Cooke<\/strong><\/a> reaction when he learned about estranged wife Amanda Batula<\/strong><\/a> and fellow costar West Wilson<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s romance.<\/p>\n

\u201cKyle always knew Amanda would eventually move on, but he never imagined it would be with a castmate or anyone within their own circle,\u201d a source exclusively tells Us Weekly<\/em>. \u201cThe idea of her dating a castmate is something he\u2019s really struggled to wrap his head around.\u201d<\/p>\n

The insider shares that Kyle, 43, \u201cwas genuinely blindsided by the news and completely caught off guard\u201d by Kyle and Amanda\u2019s confirmed relationship, \u201cespecially given how close the group is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just the relationship itself that surprised him, but who it\u2019s with, which has made it even harder for him to process,\u201d the source says. \u201cHe is definitely upset by the news but also knows it takes a bit of heat off him and their marriage dynamic.\u201d<\/p>\n

A separate source tells Us<\/em> shortly before news broke of Amanda, 34, and West\u2019s romance, Kyle \u201cdidn\u2019t fully know what\u2019s going on and didn\u2019t want to believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Us Weekly<\/em> reached out to a Bravo rep for comment.<\/p>\n

Kyle and Amanda, for their part, announced their separation in January<\/a> after four years of marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,\u201d Kyle and Amanda wrote in an Instagram statement at the time. \u201cWe share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.\u201d<\/p>\n

They continued, \u201cIt feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time. since we\u2019ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSummer House fans called out Amanda Batula and West Wilson\u2019s touchy-feely dynamic before the costars confirmed their romance. While most eyes were on Kyle Cooke after he called Amanda a \u201cf***ing dumbass bitch\u201d during the March 24 episode of Summer House, some were fixated on how West, 31, jumped in to defend Amanda, 34, and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Months later, Amanda confirmed swirling rumors that she was in a romantic relationship with fellow Summer House<\/em> costar and BFF Ciara Miller<\/strong>\u2019s ex-boyfriend <\/a>West, 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,\u201d Amanda and West wrote in a joint Instagram Story statement on Tuesday, March 31. \u201cIt was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.\u201d<\/p>\n
