le Cooke is shutting down rumors that he and his wife, Amanda Batula, are heading for a divorce.
“We are very much so still together,” the Bravolebrity told Access Hollywood during his Friday appearance at BravoCon, according to an Instagram clip.
“I think we’ve always made an effort to put it all out there. Our apartment still has Amanda’s stuff all over it which is a big storyline in Season 10.”
Cooke, 43, continued: “We are not perfect. We’ve never tried to portray a perfect couple. We wear it all on our sleeve. Yeah, 10 years in, 4 years in a marriage, all on camera, it hasn’t been easy.”
The Loverboy founder’s comments come after an insider told Page Six that the couple is “going through a challenging time,” earlier this week.
However, the source insisted they “are not on a break” and “are both committed to working on their relationship.”
The “Summer House” stars — who were recently announced to lead the network’s forthcoming spinoff, “In the City” — tied the knot in September 2021 at Batula’s family home in New Jersey.
The ceremony, which was officiated by their co-star and Loverboy business partner, Carl Radke, was featured on Season 6 of the Bravo series.
Cooke and Batula, 34, began dating in 2016 while filming Season 1. Cooke went on to propose to Batula years later in Season 3.
While they originally planned for a September 2020 wedding, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the couple to push their plans back multiple times.
The reason behind the couple’s marital troubles remains unclear at this time. Though, infidelity has been an issue for the pair throughout their relationship.
Prior to their engagement, Cooke admitted to cheating on Batula just before he popped the question.
In September 2023, Batula responded to cheating rumors believed to be about Cooke with a laugh during her appearance on “Watch What Happens Live!”
“I laughed at it, and I thought the timing was very convenient that it, like, came out given what was going on at the time on the show,” she told host Andy Cohen.
In recent years, the two have notably been on different pages about where to live and when to start a family.
