Amanda Batula and West Wilson Confirm They Are Dating in Joint Statement
After weeks of intense speculation, Summer House stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson have officially confirmed they are in a relationship.
Amanda and West released a joint statement acknowledging their romance, ending months of rumors that began shortly after Amanda’s separation from longtime husband Kyle Cooke.
The confirmation comes amid a whirlwind few weeks on Summer House Season 10. In Episode 8, Kyle had a explosive meltdown in front of the entire house, calling Amanda a “fcking dumbass btch” during a heated argument.
West was one of the first cast members to comfort Amanda and later confronted Kyle about the outburst.
The Timeline of Rumors
Speculation about Amanda and West first surfaced earlier this month when Deuxmoi reported the pair were seen being “openly flirty” at a New York City event, allegedly even holding hands under the table.
The rumors gained traction after West and Amanda were spotted hanging out together in New York.
On Watch What Happens Live just last week, West attempted to shut down the chatter, describing Amanda as a close friend he was simply “showing the streets” to now that she’s single. However, many fans remained unconvinced.
The situation became even messier when several Bravo stars posted cryptic social media content over the weekend:
- Kyle Cooke responded to a fan asking how he felt with a shrug emoji (🤷♂️) followed by a crying face (😢).
- Austen Kroll posted “Pasta and f–k your friends’ exes are apparently so back” after hanging out with Kyle.
- Lindsay Hubbard shared a selfie with Ciara Miller (West’s ex and Amanda’s best friend) and a disgusted-face screenshot, which Ciara reshared.
- Both Carl Radke and KJ Dillard posted confused-looking selfies.
Reports also emerged that Amanda and Ciara have been feuding, with the longtime friends reportedly unfollowing each other and filming separate Amazon Live sessions.
Ciara’s Reaction
Shortly after the joint statement, Ciara Miller reportedly unfollowed both Amanda and West on Instagram, signaling the emotional toll this development is taking on the close-knit group.
What’s Next for the Cast?
This confirmation marks a major shake-up for Summer House Season 10. Amanda and West’s relationship adds new layers of tension to an already dramatic season that has included:
- Kyle and Amanda’s very public marital struggles (highlighted in Episodes 7 and 8)
- West’s apology to Ciara during the Spin the Bottle game in Episode 7
- Ongoing flirtation and limbo between West and Ciara
As the season continues to air, fans are eager to see how this newly confirmed relationship will play out on camera and how it will affect the group dynamics — particularly between Amanda, West, Ciara, and Kyle.
The joint statement comes as a surprise to many, especially given West’s recent denial on WWHL. However, sources close to the cast say the two have grown close quickly in the months following Amanda’s split.
Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock. More updates are expected as the cast reacts in upcoming episodes.
