The latest season of Summer House has captured attention with the confirmation of a romantic relationship between Amanda Batula and West Wilson. This news comes shortly after Batula ended her marriage to Kyle Cooke, leading to a mix of reactions. Cooke expressed he was somewhat prepared for the news and has publicly supported Batula amid online backlash.
In a recent discussion shared on TikTok, Cooke, 42, opened up about his feelings regarding Batula’s new romance. While appearing concerned for her well-being due to the cyberbullying she faces, he revealed that he was not entirely blindsided by her relationship with Wilson. Cooke noted he had received a heads-up from Batula before the official announcement, emphasizing the complexity of their past and present connections.
Cooke mentioned that Ciara Miller, Wilson’s ex-wife, had previously alluded to Batula’s hidden relationship. The two have shared a friendship, and Cooke conveyed that Miller was trying to let him process the situation at his own pace. He reflected on how Miller had more information about their ex-partners’ interactions, stating, “I think she had more evidence at her disposal than I did.”
Despite the emotional turmoil surrounding the relationship, Cooke pointed out that fans appear to be more supportive of Wilson. He expressed concern over a pattern he sees in Wilson’s romantic history, suggesting that Cooke has been wary of his character.
Batula and Wilson confirmed their relationship on March 31, 2026, through Instagram Stories, highlighting their long-standing friendship that eventually evolved into romance. Their joint statement acknowledged the unexpected nature of their connection while addressing the ongoing speculation surrounding them. They detailed how their bond grew from a genuine friendship and insisted on approaching their new relationship with care.
Batula and Cooke’s relationship began in 2015 when they first met through mutual friends. They dated casually before becoming a couple again on Summer House in 2017, ultimately marrying in September 2021. Their marriage faced challenges, including rumors of infidelity, leading to their separation, which they confirmed in early 2026.
West Wilson, who joined the cast in 2023, had a previous relationship with Ciara Miller, which ended controversially by the Summer House Season 8 reunion. Their breakup, confirmed in December 2023, was marked by tensions, adding another layer to the unfolding drama involving all parties.
As this story develops, many are left wondering what the future holds for these reality stars and how they will navigate their personal relationships in the public eye.
