West Wilson Shuts Down Amanda Batula Dating Rumors – But Fans Aren’t Convinced

West Wilson may have denied the rumors on national television, but the Summer House cast’s cryptic social media activity is only fueling more speculation that something is going on between him and Amanda Batula.

On the March 24, 2026 episode of Watch What Happens Live, West directly addressed the swirling rumors that he and his co-star Amanda have been romantically involved since her separation from Kyle Cooke.

“She’s single now… We were just hanging out in New York. She’s single. I gotta show her the streets a little bit,” West said. “But if it’s not clear, that’s a very important person to me and I care about her a lot. That’s a friend.”

Despite his clarification, many fans remain skeptical — especially after several Bravo stars dropped subtle (and not-so-subtle) hints over the weekend via social media.

Cryptic Posts Raise Eyebrows

Kyle Cooke, Amanda’s estranged husband, responded to a fan comment asking “how he feels” about the rumors with two telling emojis: a man raising his hand (🤷‍♂️) followed by a tearful face (😢).

Austen Kroll, who recently hung out with Kyle, posted an Instagram Story captioned: “Pasta and f–k your friends’ exes are apparently so back.” The timing raised eyebrows, as Austen had just spent time with Kyle days earlier.

Lindsay Hubbard added fuel to the fire by posting a selfie with Ciara Miller (West’s ex and Amanda’s longtime best friend) and later sharing a screenshot of herself making a disgusted face. Ciara reshared the post. Carl Radke and KJ Dillard followed suit with their own confused and skeptical-looking selfies.

These posts come amid reports that Amanda and Ciara have been feuding. The two besties have reportedly stopped liking each other’s Instagram posts and even filmed separate Amazon Live sessions despite being scheduled to appear together.

The Backdrop of Season 10 Drama

The speculation intensified after Episode 8, when Kyle had a shocking public meltdown, calling Amanda a “fcking dumbass btch” in front of the entire house. West was one of the first to comfort Amanda and later confronted Kyle about the outburst.

This moment built on the couple’s already strained dynamic from Episode 7, where Amanda expressed frustration over Kyle’s new DJ career.

Deuxmoi previously reported that Amanda and West were seen being “openly flirty” and allegedly holding hands under the table at a New York City event, further sparking the romance rumors.

The Ciara Complication

The situation is further complicated by West and Ciara’s ongoing complicated history. After West apologized to Ciara in Episode 7 and the two showed lingering chemistry during the Spin the Bottle game, many fans worry that any romantic involvement between West and Amanda could permanently damage Amanda and Ciara’s friendship.

Dara Levitan recently described Ciara and West’s connection as “special” but noted that West still seems stuck in emotional limbo.

So, Are They Actually Dating?

As of now, West maintains they are just friends, and no concrete evidence of a romantic relationship has surfaced. However, the combination of house drama, cryptic posts from multiple cast members, and reported tension between Amanda and Ciara has left fans convinced there’s more to the story than a simple friendship.

With Summer House Season 10 still airing, the truth may eventually come out on camera — or the rumors could continue to create even more chaos in the Hamptons house.

What do you think? Do the cast’s cryptic posts suggest Amanda and West are more than friends, or is this just typical Bravo speculation? Let us know in the comments.

Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
