Kyle Cooke, the founder of Loverboy and former wife of Amanda Batula, has defended his estranged wife, West Wilson, amid the controversy surrounding their new romance. Despite expressing concern for Amanda's safety, Kyle Cooke expressed concern over his wife's cyber bullying and expressed his belief that West Wilson's relationship with Amanda was justified. Despite some fans being angry about the new relationship, Kyle disagrees, stating that the hate from viewers is not acceptable and that West, who had previously dated Amanda's BFF Ciara Miller, is using the same charm he used on all other girls. The couple had ended their four-year marriage in January after years of contentious ups and downs, and decided to part ways as a couple in a joint statement on Jan. 19.
