Ciara Miller & Kyle Cooke React to Amanda Batula, West Wilson Romance

West Wilson and Amanda Batula may have confirmed their romance, but not everyone in the Summer House cast is happy about it.

According to a source who spoke to Page Six, both Ciara Miller and Kyle Cooke are “pissed” and “disappointed” following the news that West and Amanda are officially dating — and it’s reportedly much more serious than a casual fling.

“They’re in a full-blown relationship,” the insider revealed. “It’s not just a hookup.”

The Joint Statement

On March 31, 2026, Amanda and West released a joint statement confirming their relationship after weeks of intense speculation. In the statement, they wrote:

“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. It was never our intention to purposefully hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”

They continued: “What’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship… As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling.”

The couple acknowledged that their romance “has had an impact beyond just us” and said they “never wanted our actions to cause any hurt.”

Ciara and Kyle’s Reaction

The confirmation reportedly hit hard for two key people in particular:

• Ciara Miller — West’s ex — unfollowed both Amanda and West on Instagram within minutes of the statement. Ciara and Amanda have been best friends for years, making the situation especially painful.
• Kyle Cooke — Amanda’s estranged husband — is said to be deeply disappointed. This comes after Kyle’s explosive meltdown toward Amanda in Season 10 Episode 8, where he called her a “fcking dumbass btch” in front of the entire house.

The timing has only added to the drama. Just weeks ago, West comforted Amanda during that very public fight with Kyle and later confronted him about the outburst.

Where Things Stand

This new relationship adds significant tension to an already chaotic Season 10. The season has already featured:

• Kyle and Amanda’s ongoing marital struggles (including the DJ career fight in Episode 7 and the major blowup in Episode 8)
• West’s apology to Ciara and lingering chemistry between them during the Spin the Bottle game
• Growing rumors that Amanda and Ciara’s longtime friendship is fracturing

According to the source, both Ciara and Kyle feel blindsided by how quickly things developed between West and Amanda after Kyle and Amanda’s separation earlier this year.

With several episodes still left in Season 10, fans are now wondering how this confirmed relationship will be addressed on camera and what it will mean for the group’s dynamics moving forward.

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