'Summer House' star Kyle Cooke has broken his silence about his ex-wife, Amanda Batula's new romance with West Wilson, saying she had given him a 'heads up' before the announcement.
Summer House Season 10 has been dominating the headlines due to the long-speculated romance between co-stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson, which they recently confirmed through a joint statement. The announcement has raised a few eyebrows, given that Batula had barely ended her marriage to fellow Summer House star, Kyle Cooke, only a few months ago. However, for Cooke, he already had a "heads up" about his ex-wife's relationship and even defended her against cyberbullying.
Cooke, 42, broke his silence about Amanda's new relationship, but his words are those of a worried ex-partner. He also mentioned that West's ex-wife, Ciara Miller, 29, had more "evidence" about their former partners' secret connection.
On Wednesday, April 1, 2026, Kyle Cooke spoke up about his ex-wife's newfound romance in a conversation with NYC-based journalist Adam Glyn, posted on TikTok. Amid his concerns about Batula's mental health due to online backlash, Cooke also mentioned that while her new romance was definitely upsetting, he wasn't completely taken aback by the way things turned out.
The entrepreneur mentioned that Wilson's ex, Ciara Miller, had alerted him about Amanda's secret romance. Miller and Cooke have been close friends for a long time, and the former allegedly had more "evidence" at her disposal to guess where things between Batula and Wilson were headed. He said:
"I think she (Ciara Miller) had more evidence at her disposal than I did. She was trying to, like, let me come to terms at my own speed. It’s just a lot to process."
The Summer House star also mentioned that Batula and Miller's relationship announcement wasn't a surprise for him, as the 33-year-old had given him a "heads up" when they talked the previous night. Cooke said:
"I talked to her before their statement came out, she gave me a heads up, and I talked to her last night."
Beyond expressing concern, Cooke claimed that West has a pattern of juggling multiple women at once. He further added that despite the controversy, fans seem to be supporting West, while Batula continues to face criticism.
On March 31, 2026, Amanda and West shared Instagram Stories confirming their relationship after months of speculation about their growing connection. In a joint note, they revealed they had been close friends for years and never expected their bond to turn romantic, while also addressing why they chose to stay silent amid ongoing speculation. A part of their statement reads:
"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. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care."
Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula met in 2015 via mutual friends and casually dated for a few months before briefly separating. When they reconnected in 2017 on Summer House Season 1, they eventually became an official couple. The two got married in September 2021 and have been supportive of each other despite Cooke's infidelity rumours over the years. However, four years into their marriage, they separated and confirmed their divorce on January 19, 2026.
On the other hand, West Wilson, 29, who joined Summer House in 2023, was previously in a relationship with his co-star, Ciara Miller, 29. They initially seemed like a strong pair, but they had split by the time the Summer House Season 8 reunion happened. They confirmed that they were no longer a couple and had broken up in December 2023, and it was not amicable.
