Amanda Batula, West Wilson and Ciara Miller have a complex love triangle, which forms the central plot of their reality series, 'Summer House'.
The Bravo reality series, Summer House is currently in the spotlight following a massive off-screen relationship reveal that has shocked the fanbase. Amanda Batula and West Wilson, both of whom have exes in the same show, confirmed their romance on March 31, 2026. The relationship development will significantly change the context and direction of the ongoing 10th Season of Summer House. Amanda and West have been receiving intense scrutiny since their announcement, as his ex-girlfriend, Ciara Miller, was her best friend. Here's a look at the timeline of their controversial love triangle.
After a three-year engagement, Amanda Batula and her ex-husband, Kyle Cooke walked down the aisle on September 25, 2021. The wedding served as a focal point of the Season 6 finale. After multiple delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Amanda and Kyle shifted from a larger venue to a more intimate setting for the occasion. The ceremony took place in the backyard of Amanda's parents' house in Hillsborough, New Jersey. The ex-couple's longterm close friend and fellow cast member, Carl Radke officiated the ceremony.
Amanda and Kyle had been two of the most beloved cast members until West Wilson joined the cast of Summer House Season 8. It was filmed in the summer of 2023 and premiered on February 22, 2024. It was a little over two years after Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke's marriage. West was working as a sports writer when he was introduced to the Summer House group by Lindsay Hubbard, whom he met randomly at a restaurant in New York City.
West Wilson began a relationship with Ciara Miller shortly after joining Summer House. The duo quickly became a fan favourite. In July 2023, they went on their first date at Bell, Book & Candle in NYC. The former couple continued dating off-camera till November 2023, during which Ciara even visited West's family in Missouri and his brother in Chicago. The duo seemed to be going strong; however, their whirlwind romance ended soon.
During the Summer House Season 8 reunion, which aired on June 6, 2024, West Wilson and Ciara Miller confirmed that they were no longer a couple. They revealed that they had broken up in December 2023. Citing the reason for the split, Ciara stated that West told her that he could not commit "for show-related reasons." It specifically meant that he was worried about how being in a relationship would impact his experience as a new cast member. West admitted that he was worried about being seen as "Ciara's puppet" and was unsure how the show's fans would react to her dating news during promotional events.
West and Ciara's breakup occurred during a dinner date, and she felt blindsided. While he thought they were "on the same page," she said she left the dinner in tears. The split drew a lot of criticism towards West, which he didn't expect. He faced significant criticism for his handling of the breakup, particularly after a chat with the New York Times where he discussed it. During the interview, he pleaded for forgiveness from fans and stated:
"I thought people would be upset that we, like, didn't work out. I had no clue that I would be getting the hate that I have gotten."
Ciara and West's relationship did not end in amicable terms, and they kept feuding even after a year of the breakup. During Summer House Season 9, the conflict reached its peak as she lashed out at him for discussing their relationship in several high-profile interviews in early 2025. The interviews took place while Ciara was away filming The Traitors.
Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke announced their separation on January 19, 2026, after four years of marriage and a decade-long relationship. The timeline follows a year after Ciara Miller's high-profile breakup with West Wilson. While the fans were heartbroken, they said they had seen it coming, given that Amanda and Kyle had been fighting for a long time.
Just two months after Amada and Kyle's split, rumours surfaced in March 2026 that she was dating West Wilson, her bestie, Ciara's ex-boyfriend. This led to reports of a strain in the relationship between the two close friends. They officially confirmed the speculations as true on March 31, 2026 by releasing a joint statement on their Instagram Stories. Amada and West explained that they kept the news private initially due to "complicated relationship dynamics" and the "scrutiny" of being on a reality show. After the announcement, news surfaced that Ciara unfollowed both Amanda and West on social media.
