Amanda Batula has made it clear on Season 8 of Summer House that she's more than ready to relocate from New York City to New Jersey, but her husband Kyle Cooke remains unconvinced to this day.
That might not be enough to stop Amanda from moving, though.
Are Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke moving to New Jersey?
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish in March, Amanda said there's "nothing" going on in her and Kyle's house hunt. "We probably won't seriously look for a house, or have like a super serious conversation about where we're gonna live until I'm pregnant," Amanda said. "Kyle works amazing under pressure. So, there's gonna have to be some reason."
Should Kyle remain adamant they stay in New York City, Amanda said, "Oh, we're moving to New Jersey. Like, 100 percent. I'm moving by myself and we'll have a long-distance relationship if he's against it."
Why doesn't Kyle Cooke want to move to New Jersey?
Kyle hasn't ruled out a move entirely, but as he explained on the Summer House After Show, he's simply not ready to relocate quite yet.
"I do want a house where my kids can play in a yard and play with their neighbors, but we don't have kids yet. We're not even trying to have kids," Kyle said. "I would also feel completely cut off from society — Amanda's okay with that, I'm not — but the thing that scares me the most is if we prematurely jump out to the 'burbs, I just feel like I'm gonna be trapped. Amanda's very content sitting on the couch watching TV. She's not good at keeping up with her friends and making efforts to be social with them. If I work a lot, I need a social outlet. And I would feel completely cut off from society."
