Batula and Wilson framed their relationship as a natural evolution from years of friendship, emphasizing they needed 'space to process things privately' and apologizing for any hurt caused. Their statement stressed genuine connection and care in approaching the romance.
Sources revealed Batula and Miller were already feuding over hookup rumors before the announcement, with the former best friends skipping joint Olly supplement filming and stopping engagement on each other's posts. Miller was photographed looking devastated on a NYC sidewalk after the March 31 statement dropped.
The couple confirmed their relationship via joint Instagram statement on March 31, 2026. Batula split from Kyle Cooke in January 2026 after four years of marriage. Wilson and Miller dated briefly in 2023, parting ways by December of that year.
This is exactly the kind of messy Bravo drama that keeps viewers hooked — except this time, real friendships are collateral damage. The internet has chosen its side, and it's not pretty.
The Summer House universe is still processing the shockwaves. Amanda Batula and Wilson West officially confirmed their relationship on March 31, 2026, breaking their silence with a joint Instagram statement that acknowledged the drama already unfolding around them. "It was never our intention to purposely hide anything," they wrote, explaining that the "complicated relationship dynamics" and reality TV scrutiny prompted them to take time to "process things privately before speaking on it." The statement also included an apology, recognizing their actions "caused any hurt or be perceived as careless" — a move that suggests they knew exactly how this would land.
But the damage was already done. Wilson's ex-girlfriend Ciara Miller, who dated him briefly in 2023, unfollowed Batula — her former best friend — on Instagram immediately after the announcement. Sources told Page Six that Miller and Batula had been feuding for weeks over rumors that Batula was hooking with Wilson. The insider revealed the duo had already opted out of filming a joint Olly supplement presentation together earlier that week and had stopped "liking" each other's social media posts entirely. The friendship fracture was real, and it happened well before the public learned the truth.
The timing makes this even messier. Batula only split from her estranged husband Kyle Cooke in January 2026 — just two months before going public with Wilson. The pair had been married since September 2021, with Cooke shutting down break-up rumors as recently as November 2025, telling Access Hollywood their apartment "still has Amanda's stuff all over it" which was supposedly "a big storyline in Season 10." Meanwhile, Wilson and Miller's brief romance ended by December 2023, with the pair getting emotional about their lingering feelings during the Season 8 reunion. Miller even said the only way she'd take Wilson back would be if there were a "world of change" — yikes.
The internet did not miss the irony. When Cooke was asked how he felt about the Wilson-Batula rumors on March 20, he responded with a hand-raising emoji and a tearful face. Fans immediately pointed out the double standard: "the funniest thing about the rumor is how much we care about Ciara's well-being but none for Kyle." Ouch. And if you needed visual proof of just how brutal this reveal was? Photographers caught Miller slumped over on a NYC sidewalk shortly after the joint statement went live. That's not just drama — that's a career moment for the gossip pages.
This is what happens when Bravo's formula collides with real life. The show has always weaponized relationships for ratings, but Batula and Wilson's secret romance has already torched a years-long friendship in the process. Miller unfollowing is just the beginning — expect the cold shoulders, awkward run-ins, and passive-aggressive Instagram subtweets to dominate Season 10's drama. The question now is whether any of these friendships survive the fallout.
