Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s Romance Still Strong Despite Fan Backlash

Amanda Batula and West Wilson are standing firm together. Despite the intense scrutiny, fan backlash, and swirling rumors that followed their joint statement confirming their romance, sources tell TMZ the couple is “leaning all the way in” and their relationship remains strong.

Insiders close to the pair say West has been fully committed to Amanda, acting as a supportive partner behind the scenes.

They dismiss speculation that West has been seeing other women — including recent reports about “Montana girl” Meija Moreno — as overblown fan assumptions and social media twisting innocent interactions.

“Amanda isn’t bothered,” a source shared. “She trusts West and feels confident in their relationship. They’re still building things and not letting outside opinions interfere.”

The Backdrop of the Scandal

The couple went public with their romance on March 31, 2026, in a joint Instagram statement acknowledging that their connection grew out of a long-standing friendship. The timing couldn’t have been more complicated.

Amanda had just separated from husband Kyle Cooke in January after years of on-screen struggles.

Their marriage reached a breaking point in Episode 8 when Kyle had a shocking meltdown, calling Amanda a “fcking dumbass btch” in front of the house. West was one of the first to comfort her during that fight.

Adding fuel to the fire: Ciara Miller — Amanda’s longtime best friend and West’s ex — reportedly felt “heartbroken” and “betrayed,” especially after sources claimed she had recently rekindled things with West. Ciara unfollowed both Amanda and West shortly after the announcement.

Kyle has also been vocal, expressing worry about Amanda while slamming West for “playing multiple women.”

Staying Strong Amid the Chaos

According to TMZ, Amanda and West are choosing to tune out the noise. While some castmates remain distant, Amanda is staying in touch with a few close friends. She is also expected to attend the upcoming Season 10 reunion despite online speculation that she might skip it.

The couple’s decision to go public came after weeks of rumors, including sightings of them hanging out in New York and reports of flirty behavior. West had previously tried to downplay the speculation on Watch What Happens Live, calling Amanda a close friend he was simply “showing the streets.”

Now, with their relationship officially confirmed and reportedly going strong, the focus shifts to how this new chapter will play out on the rest of Season 10 — especially with Kyle and Ciara both deeply affected.

As one source put it: “They’re not letting the outside drama derail what they’re building.”

Summer House continues Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock. More fallout — and possibly more couple updates — is expected in upcoming episodes and at the reunion.
