Summer House Stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson Confirm Romance, Ciara Miller Unfollows Amid Fallout

Bravo’s Summer House is currently embroiled in its own version of a “mini Scandoval.” Co-stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson have officially confirmed their romantic relationship after weeks of speculation and rumors. This announcement follows Batula’s recent split from her husband, Kyle Cooke, and Wilson’s previous relationship with Ciara Miller, a close friend of Batula.

Joint Statement Clarifies Relationship Status

On Tuesday, Batula and Wilson released a joint statement addressing the growing online speculation about their relationship. They emphasized that it was never their intention to hide anything and acknowledged the complexities that come with being part of a reality show. The statement, shared on their Instagram Stories, highlighted their need for privacy to process their evolving feelings.

The statement read, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

They also expressed their awareness of the impact their relationship might have on others, stating, “We recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless.”

Co-Stars React to Relationship Rumors

As rumors of a romance between Batula and Wilson circulated, several co-stars publicly refuted claims of a romantic relationship. During a March 10 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Cooke described the rumors as “outrageous.” He expressed surprise at the longevity of the speculation, stating, “For it to go as long as it has in the news cycle is kind of shocking. But no, I don’t think there’s any merit to it.”

When asked about his feelings if he discovered that Batula and Wilson were indeed together, Cooke remarked, “It would certainly catch me by surprise and feel a little reckless.” He added that he believed Ciara would likely have something to say about the situation, but ultimately stated, “If it made Amanda happy, I think I just would have to vote ‘yay.’”

Wilson Responds to Speculation

Wilson addressed the rumors during his own appearance on Watch What Happens Live on March 24, asserting that he and Batula were just friends. He noted, “She’s single now, and I gotta show her the streets a little bit. If it’s not clear, that’s a very important person to me, and I care about her a lot. That’s a friend. Hope that’s clear.”

Batula had previously stated that she would not date any of her Summer House co-stars, asserting, “I’m not touching any of my cast members. Yeah, no, love them dearly, but I’m good.”

Background of the Relationships

Wilson joined the cast of Bravo’s Summer House in its eighth season, which aired in 2024. During that season, he began dating Miller, but they announced their split at the season’s reunion. Miller revealed that Wilson had stated he could not commit to a serious relationship for “show-related reasons.”

At that reunion, Batula, along with many cast members, criticized Wilson for his pattern of dating women for extended periods without committing. She expressed hope that his relationship with Miller would be different, but noted, “It just seems like a pattern with you. You have a really hard time committing.”

Current Dynamics Among the Cast

Throughout the ninth season of Summer House, Wilson and Miller’s relationship remained tumultuous. The tenth season, which premiered in February, has seen the two rehashing aspects of their former romance. In a recent episode, Miller acknowledged that they both miss each other, describing their current state as “limbo.”

Following the announcement of Batula and Wilson’s relationship, Miller unfollowed both on social media, a move that has not gone unnoticed by fans.

Batula and Cooke’s Separation

In January, Batula and Cooke announced their separation after four years of marriage. The couple has been featured prominently on Bravo’s Summer House since its inception. Cooke has been a full-time cast member since the first season, while Batula joined in season two. Their engagement was showcased on the show in September 2018.

In a recent interview, Batula praised Miller for her support during the filming of season 10 amid the challenges in her marriage. She also acknowledged Wilson’s support, stating, “It’s also meant so much to me how supportive West has been throughout the season, sometimes in ways I wasn’t even aware of when filming.”
