West Wilson and Amanda Batula always had a playful friendship, but after news broke in March of their budding romance, their Summer House season 10 actions are being called into question.
Season 10 on the Bravo series premiered in February, one month after Amanda and Kyle Cooke announced their split following four years of marriage. Throughout the season, which was filmed in summer 2025, viewers have seen the beginning of the end of Amanda and Kyle’s tumultuous relationship.
However, it’s the intimate moments between West and Amanda that are now turning heads following their joint March 31 announcement that their feelings for each other have recently “evolved” from friends to something more.
“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,” the pair wrote in a joint Instagram post. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
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 […]
Kyle broke his silence over the scandal on April 1, admitting that he now sees West’s season 10 actions towards Amanda in a different light.
“Looking back, there’s a lot of us that look at his body language and how touchy and handsy he is with her,” Kyle told Adam Glynn in a three-part TikTok video. “And I kinda just gave him a little bit of a hall pass, [saying], ‘Oh, it’s West.’”
Fans of the show have also taken note of West and Amanda’s deepening connection captured by the Summer House cameras during season 10 scenes, pointing out that many of their moments haven’t aged well.

Pie in the Face

During the season premiere, which aired in February, West Wilson hosted a “county fair” themed party to kick off summer. Amidst milking a fake cow to get White Russians and doing a keg stand, West was pied in the face by his ex Ciara Miller. West then grabbed a few pies of his own and got Ciara back before grabbing Amanda Batula and smashing the pie in her face.
West later shared photos from the first weekend in the Hamptons via Instagram, revealing that he and Amanda were both covered in whipped cream after the fun at the party. In one photo, West held onto Amanda’s neck as they both sat alone on the floor.
The Topless Plunge
At the end of episode 1, West Wilson was among the housemates who decided to jump into the pool to clean off after the pie war. When Amanda Batula took off her bandana top and was in just her nude bra and underwear, West was the first to notice.
“Wait, Amanda is naked!” West yelled, pointing it out to the group. His eyes got wide as Amanda walked into the pool looking nearly nude.
“Your tits are so out it’s kind of insane,” West told her when she came close to him in the pool.
When Ben Waddell handed Amanda a towel, her husband, Kyle Cooke, noticed she was scantily clothed and yelled at her for being “naked.” Amanda clapped back, pointing out she was wearing clothes and everyone was in the pool.
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 […]
Bear Hug
Amanda Batula made fun of West Wilson’s voice during episode 2, after he sounded like a bear while asking, “Are we doing a boys’ car?” After Amanda mocked him, he ran over to her near the car and gave her a big bear hug.
The playful interaction came one night after Kyle Cooke claimed to West and other guys in the house that he and Amanda’s sex life was non-existent because she “smokes weed every night.”

After Kyle Cooke blew up at Ciara Miller during episode 3 for interrupting his group apology at dinner, Amanda Batula started to laugh. Carl Radke went to talk to Kyle and then reported back to the group that Kyle feels like Ciara doesn’t ever have his back.
West Wilson, who was seated next to Amanda at the time, then started to laugh. He made a face while looking at Amanda and insisted that Kyle was “fine.”
‘I’m Married!’
West Wilson hosted a singles’ mixer in New York City during episode 4, which Amanda Batula attended with Lindsay Hubbard as her plus one. (Kyle Cooke was out of town for the event.)
When the ladies arrived, West greeted them, telling Lindsay, “You look hot!” As he hugged Lindsay, he looked over her shoulder and added, “You look good too, Amanda.”
“No, it’s OK, I’m married,” Amanda replied, brushing off the delayed compliment.
Later that episode, Amanda and West were chilling on a couch at their shared house in the Hamptons when she revealed she wasn’t feeling well and might need to skip Kyle Cooke’s DJ set.
“Your boyfriend has a big performance,” West told Amanda in a joking tone. “My boyfriend,” Amanda replied, laughing along with West.
Birthday Wishes

When it came to Amanda Batula’s birthday dinner, she was once again seated next to West Wilson — with her husband Kyle Cooke on the other side. During episode 6, which aired in March, the cast went around the table and said something nice about the birthday girl, including West.
“Amanda, since I’ve known you, you’ve accomplished so many big things from where you were,” West told her while looking into her eyes. “I know you were struggling before and you’ve been out of your shell and it’s fun to watch you do s***.”
“That was very nice,” Amanda replied.
Kyle Cooke reveals he’s spoken to Ciara Miller about estranged wife Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s relationship drama — and she had “evidence” from the start. “I think she had more evidence at her disposal than I did,” Cooke, 43, told Adam Glyn in a TikTok video uploaded on Wednesday, April 1. “She was trying […]
Bathroom Crying Session
During episode 8, Kyle Cooke accused Amanda Batula of not supporting him before yelling, “F*** you,” and storming inside the house. The name-calling appeared to come out of nowhere, and although Amanda wanted to forget it happened, West Wilson wasn’t OK with the altercation.
Once Amanda was in her bathroom getting ready for bed, West came in to console her and show her support.
“Objectively, nothing just happened. That’s bizarre to me,” West confessed. “That’s the first time where I’ve ever seen something where 100 percent [it] was unprovoked.”
Amanda thanked him for “understanding” her side and started to cry off camera. “There was a part of me that was like, ‘This is the best I’m ever going to do. And he loves me so much,’” Amanda told West through tears. “[I was] constantly making excuses.”
“I care about both of them and I want them both to be happy. If Kyle is being a f***ing d***head, I don’t know, who has Amanda’s back?” West said during a confessional.

Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula got into a bigger argument during episode 8 after he claimed she “ignored” him and only wanted to hang out with their friends. Kyle then called his spouse a “f***ing dumbass bitch.”
Amanda left the room to go to the kitchen where she encountered West Wilson in the hall. As she walked into West he tried to grab her hand for comfort but she pushed him off. Eagle-eyed fans later noticed that Amanda actually grazed West’s arm and pulled her own hand across his back before going into the kitchen.
‘Coming Back’ for West and Jesse
West Wilson confronted Kyle Cooke over being “unnecessary” with Amanda Batula during episode 9, claiming that he was completely unprovoked.
West advised Kyle to apologize to Amanda, adding that both he and Jesse Solomon had his “back,” but he needed to say “sorry” once and for all after calling Amanda names one episode prior.
When Jesse shared with Amanda how West “literally told Kyle off,” she was happy, saying, “I love you guys.”
She then revealed, “You guys are the best and that’s why I keep coming back,” joking, “I don’t come back for him,” in reference to Kyle.
Sitting PrettyDuring episode 11, which was filmed in August 2025, Amanda Batula and West Wilson had a cozy moment — that all of their castmates saw.
As Jesse Solomon explained to the group what he envisioned for his Las Vegas-themed party that weekend, Amanda asked whether there would be “pool boys” walking around. West playfully yelled back, “No!”
Minutes later, West went and sat on Amanda’s stomach as she lounged on one of the pool chairs. As West and Amanda listened to Jesse’s plan, Kyle Cooke was seated alongside them seemingly unaware of their closeness.
“Stop farting on me, you sicko,” Amanda told West at one point, getting a big grin on her face as she teased him.
A Comforting Moment

Amanda Batula was upset during episode 11 after she realized she hurt Ben Waddell’s feelings when she joked to his girlfriend about him allegedly wanting to “have sex” with her when they first met in Italy the prior summer. West Wilson, however, thought the whole situation was funny.
“I love that you got in trouble for something,” West told Amanda in the kitchen after she confessed she was stressed about having to apologize.
“No, I’ve cried like five times about it,” she explained, noting that she told Ben’s girlfriend, Sabrina, all about “how great he’s been all summer” to try and fix her mistake.
West pretended to be Ben, saying how “he wants to f***ing slam me.” Amanda laughed as West put his hands on her shoulders to calm her down.
Crashing His Party
Throughout episode 11, West Wilson raised eyebrows among his housemates when they noticed him kissing a random girl and flirting with her in front of ex Ciara Miller. When Amanda Batula clocked it, she asked pal Mia Calabrese, “OK so who’s this girl that West is about to f***?”
Amanda decided to intervene and go and lay in bed with West and the girl, who was later identified as a woman named Emmie.
“Whatcha doing? Can I come in for a cuddle?” Amanda asked as she laid down next to West on a big lounge bed by the pool. “Am I crashing your party?”
West replied, “No, absolutely not” after squeezing Amanda’s arm and putting it around her.
As Amanda started to talk to the girl, West played with Amanda’s hair and brushed her shoulders. Amanda didn’t skip a beat, instead she gushed about her husband Kyle Cooke to the random woman, calling him the “best DJ in the Hamptons.”
When Amanda got up from the bed, wearing just a bikini, she told West, “I gotta go. Watch my butt when I walk away.”
All in the Name of Ciara?

Amanda Batula called out West Wilson during episode 11, which aired in April 2026, for getting “too comfortable on probation” after he kissed a girl while sitting next to ex-girlfriend, and her longtime friend, Ciara Miller.
“To a fault I’ve tried to protect whatever the f*** our relationship is, which I don’t even know what it is,” West told Amanda and a few of their other housemates in defense of his party faux pas.
Amanda, however, wasn’t buying it. “You guys have been making progress, so my question is: why at this small, intimate party do you decide to have this girl sitting in your lap the whole time? And, like, making out with her?” she asked.
Kyle Cooke took West’s side, telling Amanda, “That’s not fair!” Amanda clapped back at her spouse telling him not to “make me get mad at you.”
Amanda then turned back to West, telling him, “All I’m saying is if you want to make progress in your relationship with Ciara there’s a level of respect that we have to have to live here together.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
