Kyle Cooke & Amanda Batula Address Paige DeSorbo & Craig Conover Breakup Rumors

Not to worry, Summer House viewers: Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula's marriage is stronger than ever.

Nearly two months after their costar Paige DeSorbo shocked fans by announcing her breakup from boyfriend of three years Craig Conover, the reality show's last remaining couple is assuring any suspicious Bravoholics that they have no plans to follow suit with a split of their own.

"We are doing great," Amanda exclusively told E! News. "Our entire relationship there have been some sort of rumors going on, from me being pregnant to us getting divorced. It seems to be something new every time, but none of them are true. I'm not pregnant, we're not getting divorced."

Plus, Kyle noted fans shouldn't be worried if he and Amanda bicker from time to time on the long-running Bravo series.

"We're a pretty open book," the Loverboy founder chimed in, "and we are by no means perfect. I think that, for better for worse, we've never really held back."

Amanda echoed her husband of three years, saying, "We've shared everything with people. Probably more than we care to share. So, for us to keep something like that a secret where it turns into a rumor is crazy."

But that doesn't mean gossip about their relationship doesn't get under their skin sometimes.

As Kyle added, "Don't get me wrong, the rumors sometimes kind of hurt, because it feels like, 'My God, are people just not rooting for us?'"

Amanda hilariously interrupted, "No, they're not it turns out."

Kyle continued, "They're probably not. They're like, 'We just want messy reality television.' It's interesting with all the different fan accounts these days, the rumors play a totally different part than they used to."

But Amanda takes the online chatter in stride. "It keeps us on our toes," she noted. "It keeps us entertained."

Another rumor Kyle, 42, and Amanda, 33, are happy to shoot down? That they are trying to get pregnant and start a family.

As Amanda joked, "I feel like I'm a child and for me to have a baby would be illegal. Like I'd be a teen mom, it just doesn't seem right yet. I have to feel like I'm my age and I'm not there. If I got pregnant right now, I'd be afraid to tell my parents."
