Amanda Batula appeared to be adhering to “girl code” after Ciara Miller split from West Wilson — just months before Amanda confirmed she was dating West.
Amanda, 34, exclusively told Us Weekly in January that she didn’t think West, 31, was “marriage material” — at least not for Ciara, 30.
When asked whether West or Summer House housemate Jesse Solomon — who previously said if West hadn’t called “dibs” on Ciara when they met he would’ve made a move — was a “better match” for Ciara, Amanda told Us, “I think neither.”
Amanda then explained that she was cool with West and Ciara having “fun” over the summer, but claimed he’s “not marriage material, not yet.”

Amanda — who was married to Kyle Cooke during the filming of season 10 of Summer House in 2025 — added that she was behind Ciara no matter what romantic avenue she explored.
“I support any decision that Ciara makes ever, at least publicly,” she said with a laugh, teasing that Ciara had an “incredible summer” that fans would see play out on the show.
“She was really living her best life, like, she was outside,” Amanda said. “She was going out. There were plenty of times we were in the bed, but there were plenty of times where we were just having a really good summer.”
Summer House fans called out Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s touchy-feely dynamic before the costars confirmed their romance. While most eyes were on Kyle Cooke after he called Amanda a “f***ing dumbass bitch” during the March 24 episode of Summer House, some were fixated on how West, 31, jumped in to defend Amanda, 34, and […]
She did, however, play coy about who Ciara would romance on the show, adding, “I think people are going to be very interested to see how the whole summer plays out with the dynamic between the three of them,” referring to Ciara, West and Jesse, 32.
Amanda added that the whole season could be summed up as “makeups and breakups,” in addition to “rekindling of relationships” all while “healing” in a “strange, weird, twisted way.”
During the first half of Summer House season 10, which premiered in February, Ciara and West rekindled their past flirtation.
Ciara admitted that she wasn’t sure she was ready to give West another chance after he broke up with her in December 2023 following a whirlwind romance at the beginning of the show. Despite her trepidation, the exes got cozy after different nights out and both told the cameras there were still “feelings” there.

Amanda, meanwhile, has been the focus of almost every episode this season as the end of her relationship with husband Kyle, 43, continues to unfold on camera.
The couple, who were married four years, announced their split in January, just months after they fought over and over again in the Hamptons.
West Wilson weighed in on Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s marriage — and rocky relationship — two months before confirming his romance with Amanda. “They are very different people,” West, 31, exclusively told Us Weekly in January of Kyle, 43, and Amanda, 34, after the then-couple’s marriage struggles were teased in a trailer for season […]
In the wake of her separation from Kyle, Amanda sparked romance rumors with West after they were seen together on several occasions earlier this month.
While Kyle said on the March 10 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that he’d be “surprised” if the rumors were true, he claimed he’d ultimately say, “yay,” to the pair dating.
Weeks later, Amanda and West confirmed that they are exploring a romantic relationship. The pair noted in a social media statement on Tuesday, March 31, that their “feelings evolved” after showing up “for each other as friends over the years.”
A source exclusively told Us on Tuesday that Ciara, who is no longer following Amanda or West on Instagram, is “heartbroken” by the news.
