Amanda Batula Took a ‘Slight Step Back’ From Loverboy to Help Her and Kyle Cooke's Relationship

Transcript

00:00 You know, in the teaser for what's to come this season,

00:02 it seems like you and Kyle have a conversation about your role at Loverboy

00:06 and maybe how you maybe want to take a little bit of a step back

00:09 or kind of find a new avenue.

00:10 Are you still working with him?

00:13 Yes, so I still work for Loverboy.

00:16 I've taken, like, a slight step back

00:20 for the sake of our relationship.

00:22 I think that we were at a place where, you know,

00:26 I would be frustrated about something happening on my end

00:29 and he would take it very personally.

00:31 Or he'd complain about, you know, something that I approved

00:35 and I made a decision on, and I would take it personally.

00:38 So it wasn't, like, great for our relationship.

00:40 So I'm still working, I'm still very much so involved,

00:45 but not necessarily in, like, the all-day, every-day capacity

00:49 because I think we needed a little bit of that separation for now.

00:53 Do you feel like that has helped the relationship?

00:54 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:55 Because we're not, like, coming to each other with issues,

00:58 with work stuff, you know?

01:00 It was a lot, yeah.

01:01 We had, like, if we had our relationship issues

01:03 and we had our work issues, you know, it's like, it was a lot.

01:06 Yeah.

01:06 So, yeah, so this seems to be working for us right now.

01:10 Sure, yeah.

01:10 Did that conversation-- sorry, go ahead.

01:12 Yeah, and then we can focus on our relationship

01:15 and then, you know, hopefully maybe get back to a place

01:17 where I'm more involved again.

01:19 Yeah, did that conversation take Kyle by surprise?

01:22 Um, yeah, honestly, I kind of just, like, did it after BravoCon.

01:26 I was like, I need some down time.

01:29 And then, like, just never fully submerged myself back into work.

01:32 I kind of did, yeah, like, did my meetings

01:35 and did the jobs that I was supposed to do,

01:37 but sort of, like, slowly--

01:39 Yeah, kind of take yourself--

01:40 --step back.

01:40 And he's like, are you not joining these meetings?

01:42 I was like, no, no.
