The rumored Summer House cast drama is raising eyebrows with Bravo fans.
Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke announced in January that they decided to separate after four years of marriage.
“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” their joint statement read. “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”
Shortly thereafter, rumors started swirling that Amanda was romantically linked to fellow Summer House stars Jesse Solomon — who has been caught leaving flirty comments on her Instagram posts in the past — and West Wilson.
“It’s not going to happen. I’m not touching any of my cast members,” Amanda clarified during a March episode of Jason Tartick’s “Trading Secrets” podcast. “Love them dearly, but I’m good.”

While it seemed that was the end of the rumors, things started to heat up later that month when Page Six reported that Amanda was feuding with costar Ciara Miller amid the West hookup rumors. (Us Weekly has reached out for comment.)
West and Ciara dated in 2023, but neither have publicly addressed the Amanda rumors. Amanda also hasn’t spoken out, but several Bravo stars have weighed in on the apparent drama.
