Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula's marriage is much more than just summer lovin'.
The Summer House stars, who have recently been the subject of divorce rumors, proved their bond is stronger than ever during the Bravo series' June 13 season eight reunion episode.
"I love him, unfortunately, so very much," Amanda admitted while reflecting on their numerous fights during the latest season. "And this guy is my best friend. When I'm sad, I want to be with him. When I'm happy, he's the first one I want to tell things."
Plus, Amanda revealed there was another reason they weren't on the same page while filming last summer.
"In Kyle's defense though, that past year, I think I was on the road to becoming very depressed," the 32-year-old admitted. "I was checked out. I wasn't really talking to my friends. So, when he'd come home, yeah I was quiet."
As it turns out, the reality star's quiet battle with depression is nothing new.
"It runs in my family," Amanda shared with host Andy Cohen. "It's not something that's out of the blue. So, I was struggling more than I realized and it really hit me later. I could see how he felt lonely because I felt lonely too."
However, Amanda's mental health is in a much better place today. "Antidepressants are amazing," she added. "Everyone, if you're sad, drugs are great."
The couple—who married in September 2021 after six years of dating—also revealed what they love most about each other.
As Amanda noted of her soulmate, "I love the same thing that drives me absolutely nuts about him. I love how social he is, I love how friendly he is, I love how outgoing he is."
Meanwhile, Kyle explained why there's no other woman for him.
"Honestly, when I met her, there was a nine year age difference—I could not believe how mature and emotionally intelligent she was," the 41-year-old said. "She's also just the most genuine, down to earth person I've ever met. There's not a bad bone in her body. She really does make me a better person."
The Loverboy founder's admission prompted sweet reactions from their Summer House costars, especially Jesse Solomon.
"Can I just say that," Jesse chimed in, "as a new-comer, it's so obvious that you guys are each other's person."
