Amanda Batula and West Wilson Confirm New Relationship

Amanda Batula and West Wilson of Summer House have confirmed that they are in a romantic relationship, ending weeks of speculation among fans.

The pair shared a joint statement on Instagram Stories on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, describing the relationship as “very new.” They said they chose not to address rumors earlier because they wanted time to handle the situation privately.

“We've seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” the statement read. “It was never our intention to purposely 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 added that their relationship developed from a long-standing friendship and said they are “approaching this with care.”

The announcement comes shortly after Batula’s separation from her husband and co-star Kyle Cooke, which was made public in January 2026. Cooke recently addressed the dating rumors on Watch What Happens Live, saying that such a relationship would feel “reckless.”

Wilson also has prior ties within the cast. He previously dated Ciara Miller during Season 8 of the show. Fans have noted that Miller recently unfollowed both Batula and Wilson on Instagram, suggesting possible tension.

Before confirming the relationship, both Batula and Wilson had publicly dismissed the rumors. Wilson referred to Batula as his “homegirl” in a recent television appearance, and Batula said on a podcast that she was not interested in dating within the cast after her breakup.

Because the statement was released on March 31, some viewers questioned whether it could be related to April Fool’s Day. However, multiple entertainment outlets have reported the relationship as genuine.

Batula and Wilson acknowledged the unexpected nature of their relationship, calling it “the last thing either of us expected.”
