Amanda Batula and West Wilson Confirm Relationship Amid Controversy
Amanda Batula and West Wilson have confirmed their romantic relationship on March 31, 2026, following Batula’s split from her husband Kyle Cooke earlier this year. This revelation has sparked significant interest and controversy within the reality TV community, particularly among fans of the show Summer House.
Batula announced her separation from Cooke on January 19, 2026, after four years of marriage. The couple’s relationship had been a focal point of Summer House since Batula joined the cast in 2017. Their struggles and eventual split were heavily featured on the show, making the transition to a new relationship particularly noteworthy.
West Wilson, who joined the cast of Summer House in 2024, previously dated Ciara Miller, a close friend of Batula’s. This connection has added a layer of complexity to the situation, leading to mixed reactions from fans and fellow cast members.

In a joint statement, Batula and Wilson addressed the growing online speculation, stating, “We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity.” They emphasized that it was never their intention to hide their feelings, suggesting a desire for transparency amidst the scrutiny.
Cooke expressed surprise at the news, calling the rumors “outrageous” and stating, “It would certainly catch me by surprise and feel a little reckless.” Despite his initial shock, he also mentioned, “If it made Amanda happy, I think I just would have to vote ‘yay.'” This comment reflects a level of support for Batula’s happiness, despite the unexpected turn of events.
As of March 2026, the tenth season of Summer House is currently airing, providing a backdrop for the evolving dynamics among the cast. The implications of Batula and Wilson’s relationship on the show’s narrative remain to be seen, as fans eagerly await how this development will unfold on-screen.
