Rumors are swirling that Summer House star Amanda Batula and West Wilson are secretly dating.
Speculation began in early March when a source told Dumois that the co-stars were spotted making out in New York City.
Page Six exclusively reported that the rumors caused a rift in Batula’s friendship with co-star Ciara Miller, who previously dated Wilson.
We’re unraveling all the clues that have fans convinced that the two had a secret relationship.
Flirty New York Sightings
On March 5, Dumois newspaper reported that Batura, 34, and Wilson, 30, were “openly having an affair and were even seen holding hands under the table” at an event in New York City.
Fans on social media were quick to criticize how unfair the pairing was for Miller, who has supported Batula during her separation from estranged husband Kyle Cook.
One fan commented on the post: “I don’t think Amanda would do that to Ciara… at least I hope she doesn’t.”

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on March 24, Wilson was asked to directly address speculation about their affair, but he did not deny it completely.
“She’s currently single and the same thing happened with other guys she was hanging out with,” he said of the rumors.
“We’re just hanging out in New York. She’s single. I have to show her around the city, okay?”
“Even if it’s not clear, she’s a very important person to me and I care about her very much,” he added, calling Batura a “friend” when pressed further.
After Wilson’s remarks were aired, one Instagram user theorized, “West is Amanda’s safe best friend because they never date. He’s a lot of fun, values his friends, and they have mutual friends that they hang out with all the time.”
Batula replied to the comment by saying, “Thank you.”
rupture of friendship
Page Six revealed last week that speculation surrounding Batula and West has affected his close friendship with Miller, 30.
The pair, known for defending each other in public, have stopped liking each other’s social media posts and even started disliking some of each other’s past posts.
Miller also stopped following Amanda Batula Swim’s Instagram account.
Additionally, the friends were scheduled to film Ollie’s Amazon Live joint presentation on vitamins and supplements on March 24, but ended up filming separately.
puzzling post
Miller herself has yet to address the rumors, but has hinted at her feelings through her social media activity.
Since the rumors surfaced, fans have noticed that Miller has been liking a number of cryptic posts.
Last week, she said she “loved” author Jay Shetty’s words about finding closure in hurtful situations.
“If you want to settle the matter, let me tell you this,” the quote read. “Lack of respect was closure. Lack of apology was closure. Lack of care, accountability, integrity. That was closure.”
Brave Celebrities Choose Sides
In true Bravo fashion, the network’s other reality TV stars are weighing in on social media and fueling dating rumors.
Cook, 43, responded to a recent social media comment that pointed out that no Summer House fan is “wondering how they feel” amid speculation about Wilson and his estranged wife.
The Loverboy creator responded with two emojis: a man raising his hand followed by a tearful emoji.
On Sunday, Kroll, who dated Miller in 2022, posted a photo to her Instagram Story from dinner at the Armitage Ale House with the caption, “Looks like my ex from Pasta & Friends is back.”
Over the weekend, fellow Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard shared a selfie with Miller on her Story, followed by a screenshot from the show showing Miller with a disgusted expression on his face.
Carl Radke and co-star KJ Dillard followed suit, sharing their own shocked expressions.
