The premiere of the new Bravo spinoff series 'In the City' was marked by a visibly tense reunion between estranged couple Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula.

The Summer House cast members appeared together on the red carpet in New York City on Monday, their first major public interaction since announcing their separation in January after four years of marriage.

The pair refrained from standard greetings such as hugging or shaking hands, and they maintained minimal eye contact despite Cooke placing his arm around Batula for the cameras.
