Amanda Batula and West Wilson have confirmed they are in a relationship after weeks of rumors, turning a simmering off-screen story into the latest on-camera fallout as Summer House season 10 airs on Bravo. Batula is 34 years old and Wilson is 31.
In a joint statement, the pair said their bond came from years of friendship. “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,” they said. They added that “our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
The news lands at a moment when the show is already leaning hard into personal upheaval. In January, Batula and Kyle Cooke’s split was confirmed, and this season she has confided in Ciara Miller about possibly leaving him. For viewers following the season in real time, the relationship between Batula and Wilson is not just a fresh plotline; it sits inside a breakup story that is still unfolding on screen.
That is also why Miller’s reaction carries so much weight. Batula and Miller have been shown as close friends for years on the Hamptons-based reality series, even as the show has repeatedly turned romance into collateral damage. Two years ago, Wilson pursued Miller during a summer on Summer House, then introduced her to his family and took her to a wedding after filming ended. Their tensions ran high again at the June 2024 reunion, and Miller later said, “It’s one thing to experience hurt behind closed doors. To experience it so publicly is like another layer, and then to have to see what you thought was your life still play out in season 10. It’s a major mindfuck.”
Summer House has always thrived on cast members dating, splitting and circling back inside the same friend group, but Batula and Wilson’s relationship pushes that pattern into more uncomfortable territory because it overlaps with Miller’s history and Batula’s separation from Cooke. The one thing still unresolved is how much of the new romance will be absorbed into the rest of season 10 — and whether the show’s closest friendships can survive what the cameras are now catching in real time.
