Former chief creative officer of Pixar, whose principles of storytelling have shaped modern animation.

The new Bravo series, 'In the City,' recently held its premiere event in New York, drawing attention to its cast, which includes 'Summer House' personalities and former spouses, Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula. The pair, who publicly announced their separation earlier this year after a four-year marriage, have continued to collaborate professionally, appearing together for the new show's launch. Their joint presence on the red carpet, where they posed for photos both individually and as a former couple, highlighted their amicable post-separation relationship.

Amidst a whirlwind of public interest, particularly concerning Batula's new romance with West Wilson (the ex-boyfriend of her close friend and co-star, Ciara Miller), Cooke has publicly come to his ex-wife's defense. Following the premiere, Cooke posted a video addressing critical fan comments, asserting that despite their personal history, they are both adults who chose to support their shared professional endeavor. He encouraged viewers to refrain from making assumptions about their past relationship and focus on the show's narrative, which promises to explore various life changes such as marriage, separation, and even parenthood for other cast members.

'In the City' is poised to offer an intimate look into the lives of its cast as they navigate complex personal and professional landscapes. With the 'Summer House' season finale and a multi-part reunion set to air, the new spinoff aims to continue the story, focusing on growth and transformation. Cooke's unwavering support for Batula underscores a mature approach to their evolving relationship, emphasizing respect and understanding amidst public scrutiny, and setting a positive example of collaboration beyond personal ties.
