Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s bombshell romance was at the forefront of the explosive “Summer House” Season 10 reunion.
The couple faced their fellow cast members, who came prepared with receipts and heavily questioned the timeline of their romance — which they struck up behind their co-stars’ backs.
Batula and Wilson, notably, kept their relationship a secret from Kyle Cooke — Batula’s estranged husband — and Ciara Miller — Wilson’s ex and Batula’s former bestie.
While the pair maintain that their romance began in February, Page Six is breaking down the timeline of the shocking scandal based on all of the revelations from the reunion.
July 2025 – “Summer House” Season 10 starts filming
The cast headed out to the Hamptons for the Fourth of July weekend to start filming Season 10 of the reality TV show.
As the season played out on Bravo, fans quickly noticed very flirty moments between Wilson and Batula — who was still with Cooke at the time.
In one shocking scene, Batula told Wilson to check out her butt as she walked away in a bikini.
August 2025 – Ciara Miller and West Wilson rekindle romance
As filming continued into August, viewers watched Miller and Wilson repair their friendship after their contentious 2023 breakup.
Both Miller and Wilson admitted their lingering feelings for one another to their castmates. At one point, Batula even scolded Wilson for his treatment of her then-friend.
The pair, who kept their distance from each other last season, ultimately had an emotional sit-down during episode 13 and expressed how they both miss each other and decided to be friends again.
In the finale, the exes made out in an unexpected twist.
During the reunion, both Miller and Wilson shed more light on what their dynamic looked like at the end of the summer and heading into the fall — but had conflicting accounts of what happened.
“You can’t act like we weren’t sending flirty messages,” Miller said, to which Wilson claimed they “communicated significantly less.”
When he claimed they had only had a sleepover “one time since summer ended,” Miller corrected him by saying it happened twice.
“There are numerous times where I tried to not allow us to get to romantic place or a physical place and keep it as friends,” Wilson insisted. “Because I wanted to be your friend.”
He did acknowledge that at the end of the summer “it got romantic again.”
September 2025 – West Wilson and Amanda Batula hang out one-on-one
“Southern Hospitality” star Mia Alario was one of the first Bravo stars to come with reciepts that cast doubt on Batula and Wilson’s purported timeline.
During her April 22 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” she revealed Wilson hung out with Batula alone before their date back in September.
“I met Amanda at BravoCon [in November] and she actually told me that they pregamed our date at his apartment,” Alario shared on the talk show.
“At the time, I was like, ‘Oh, you’re such a good friend. That sounds like such a good time,’” she added.
Alario also claimed Batula told her she gave Wilson “some advice and some tips” before their one and only date.
“I was like, girl, did we get the same tip or what?” Alario said. “Damn. I don’t know.”

During the explosive reunion, Miller revealed she first started questioning the nature of Batula and Wilson’s relationship when she noticed her friend’s iPhone location was at her ex’s apartment.
According to Miller, she asked Batula to get drinks with with her and fellow castmate Mia Calabrese, but was ignored. She then checked where Batula was and saw she was at Wilson’s place.
Although Batula claimed she answered Miller’s invite “30 minutes later,” Miller said Batula only answered after she and Calabrese texted her multiple times in a group chat.
Batula then explained she had turned to Wilson for support since he was there for her all summer and “was checking in” on her as she and Cooke navigated their rocky marriage in the fall.
Jan. 19, 2026 – Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke announce seperation

“We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing,” they continued.
“It feels ironic to ask for privacy at this time since we’ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter,” the statement read.
Fans also watched the downfall of their marriage on Season 10 of “Summer House” and its spinoff, “In The City.”

A fan also asked Batula if anyone from Bravo had slid into her DM’s and Batula said no, adding that she “wouldn’t even answer if they did.”
Batula also declared she was going to stay away from “Summer House” men — a vow that hasn’t aged well.

Batula praised Miller and Wilson as the two people who helped her most during her separation from Cooke in an interview with Marie Claire published March 3.

“She sends me texts out of the blue, reminding me how strong, powerful, smart, and kind I am — I don’t think she even realizes how much I need those texts,” she added.
Batula also made sure to give a shout-out to Wilson for how “supportive” he was of her throughout and after filming for Season 10.
“It’s also meant so much to me how supportive West [Wilson] has been throughout the season, sometimes in ways I wasn’t even aware of when filming,” she said. “It’s not performative; it’s just really authentic to who West is. He checks Kyle and puts him in his place, and you’ll continue to see him be there for me throughout the season.”
March 5, 2026 – Ciara Miller confronts Amanda Batula on West Wilson rumors
During part one of the reunion, Miller showed a text thread between her and Batula from March 5, in which they discuss the rampant rumors that began to swirl about Batula and Wilson dating.
Batula texted Miller, “Hi checking in. The internet is on one right now and I feel like everything I do is under a microscope and I can’t believe I’m even having to text you this right now but West and I are very much so just friends. …. I’m sad we’re even having to discuss this.”
Miller responded, “So I can expect there to be no photo or video coming outs? Feels like such a widespread rumor for there to be no veracity to it.”
In Batula’s response, she claimed that people had just seen her with Wilson “more” and “are being psychos.”
Miller read yet another text in which she explicitly asked Batula about her interactions with West.
“OK, so, for clarity, since I don’t really feel like you’re making it clear, you and West haven’t hooked up, made out, held hands under table, or had sex?’” she read off.
Miller said Batula simply replied, “Correct.’”
“And I lied. I 100 percent lied,” Batula admitted when confronted with these receipts at the reunion, explaining that she and Wilson were already “talking” romantically at that point.
“Everything that was happening between us was PG,” she insisted, claiming they hadn’t become physical yet.

“OK, so then Saturday, March 7, [Batula] says, ‘Do you want to talk at all? I’m super in my head about where we left off this conversation and I hate the thought of things being weird between us because of West. Like that’s so silly to me,’” Miller read aloud.
After being confronted with the text, Batula admitted she should have come clean sooner.
“Maybe I should have just said to you from the get-go, ‘I don’t know what’s going on. I have feelings for someone that I’m not supposed to have feelings for. I don’t know what to do about it.’”

Wilson claimed he and Batula were nothing more than friends when asked about the speculation surrounding them during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live.”
“She’s single now, and it’s happened with other people that she’s hung out with,” he said of the rumors.
“We’re just hanging out in New York. She’s single. I kinda gotta show her the streets, you know?” Wilson continued.
“If it’s not clear, that’s a very important person to me, and I, like, care about her a lot,” he added, calling Batula “a friend” when pressed further.
Wilson owned up to lying about the timeline during the reunion, but was pressed further on the “WWHL” appearance because Miller claimed he had a “girlfriend” during that time.
Miller then named the woman: Meija. Although Wilson said she wasn’t his girlfriend — but rather, just that he was “seeing” someone — fellow cast member Lindsay Hubbard backed up Miller’s claim.
Hubbard claimed Meija said she and Wilson were “exclusive” and that they spent the night together before he appeared on “WWHL.”
Wilson didn’t deny it, acknowledging that she bought him his distinct horse hair tie he wore during the appearance.

Batula and West shook the Bravo world when they finally confirmed their secret romance with a joint statement via Instagram Stories.
