Amanda Batula isn’t completely blocking out the noise.

I was so glad to see our girl back on social media on April 10th! It’s been a little over a week since she confirmed she’s dating West Wilson, and honestly, it’s a bit complicated since West used to date Ciara, one of her closest friends. Still, I’m happy for her and excited to see where things go!

I know I’ve been quiet lately,” she wrote in her first Instagram post since the drama started. “I want to sincerely apologize to everyone I’ve hurt or let down, especially my friends and family who I’ve spoken to directly.

Although Amanda didn’t mention Ciara by name in her message, she made it clear she’s deeply concerned about the consequences of Ciara and West’s new relationship.

Amanda, who revealed she’s divorcing Kyle Cooke in January, shared that she’s trying to focus on her well-being and rebuild a normal life. She asked for understanding from the public, explaining that even if she’s out and about or active online, she’s still deeply affected by the split and hasn’t forgotten what happened.

Plus, she promised fans will get more answers to their myriad of questions soon.

Amanda confirmed she’ll be at the reunion and promised to answer any questions openly and honestly when she’s there.

Ciara appeared to playfully address the situation earlier this month at the Euphoria premiere on April 7th, making a joke about her ex dating her former best friend. She also told Entertainment Tonight that she’s doing very well right now, saying she’s “thriving.”

As fans anticipate the cast getting back together, here’s a complete look back at the Amanda, West, and Ciara love triangle.

Ciara Miller and West Wilson found love on the set of Summer House season eight in 2023, and their connection continued off-screen in real life.

However, their romance wouldn’t last long, with the costars breaking up at the end of that year.

The difficult breakup created tension at the summer house for the next two years, as Ciara wrestled with whether to forgive the sports reporter for hurting her and potentially try to rebuild their relationship.

After a rocky four-year marriage, Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke have decided to separate, just before the tenth season of their Bravo series is set to premiere in 2026.

Okay, so
 it’s official. They posted it on Instagram Stories today, January 19th, and honestly, my heart is broken. They said they’ve “mutually and amicably” decided to split up, which
 ugh. It sounds so polite, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less! They said they’re both really sad about it and asked for our support while they, like, work on themselves. I just
 I can’t believe it. I always thought they were meant to be! I just hope they’re okay, even though I’m definitely not.

Amanda and Kyle, who got married in September 2021, shared that while they’ve always been open about their relationship, they’re asking for privacy right now. They appreciate everyone’s kindness and respect as they move forward.

The show gave viewers an intimate look at the couple’s struggles as their relationship fell apart.

I’ve been following the buzz about Amanda and West for a while now, and it all started when Deuxmoi, that popular gossip site, posted about them on March 5th. Apparently, someone spotted them together in New York City, and they were definitely acting flirty with each other! The news spread so quickly after that.

Okay, so everyone’s been talking about whether or not I’m dating someone, and I wanted to clear things up. I was on Watch What Happens Live recently and explained that she’s currently single, and honestly, I’m just being a friend and showing her around New York City. It’s nothing more than that – she’s free to date whoever she wants, and I’m just enjoying being a tour guide!

The journalist said, “She’s a close friend – someone I really care about a lot.”

After news spread about a possible relationship between West and Amanda, some of their colleagues talked about the rumors.

On March 29th, Carl Radke posted a confused-looking photo to his Instagram Stories. Lindsay Hubbard and KJ Dillard followed suit, sharing similar expressions of confusion on their own social media accounts.

Austen Kroll, who appears on Bravo and is friends with several cast members of Summer House, seemingly responded to the drama. On March 29th, he posted on his Instagram Stories, “Pasta and dating your friends’ exes are apparently trending again.”

Amanda and West publicly confirmed the rumors in a joint statement on Instagram on March 31st.

We never meant to keep our relationship a secret,” they explained in a message posted to Instagram Stories. “Because things were complicated, and we knew being on a reality show meant everyone would be watching, we needed some time to figure things out privately before talking about it.

We understand this situation has only affected us, and we never intended to cause any pain or seem irresponsible. We’re grateful for your understanding and respect as we work through this.

Just as West and Amanda revealed they were dating, Ciara was seen looking upset in New York City with a friend. She also started getting support from friends and colleagues on social media, as people within the Bravo TV community began choosing sides in the dramatic love triangle.

Amanda’s husband, Kyle Cooke, appeared to make light of recent drama by posting a selfie with Ciara on Instagram on March 30th.

Paige DeSorbo, known from Summer House, showed Ciara some love with a sweet comment on Instagram, simply writing, “Ur perfect.” Lindsay Hubbard and Dara Levitan, a new addition to season 10, also voiced their support for Ciara, with Lindsay calling her “Perfection” and Dara adding, “And that’s how you do it.”

Two days after Amanda and West went public, Kyle slammed his former friend for moving in on his ex.

He told journalist Adam Glyn in a TikTok video posted in April that he felt deeply betrayed. “He ended our friendship really quickly,” he said. “I thought we had a ‘bro code’ – what happened to that?”

Kyle also insinuated West’s intentions were calculated.

He told Adam that West is skilled at understanding his audience and knows exactly how to appeal to women. People are impressed, thinking West has really turned things around, but it’s clear he was intentionally flattering them as part of a calculated strategy.

Ciara’s longtime BFF Paige DeSorbo made it clear whose side she’s on amid the fallout.

We’re truly there for Ciara, as a real friend should be. We’ve been talking with her and offering support,” a former Summer House cast member explained on the April 3rd episode of their Giggly Squad podcast. “We completely support her and would never try to profit from her difficult time.

Paige went on to share “the final thing” she was going to say about the situation. 

Paige described Ciara as a strong, smart, and capable woman. She said Ciara will share her thoughts and feelings when she’s ready, and Paige wouldn’t want to speak for her.

After waiting a week to process things, Ciara finally spoke up and gave a brief update on how she was doing.

At the premiere of Euphoria season three on April 7th, Ciara shared with Entertainment Tonight that she’s doing well despite the recent attention on Amanda and West’s relationship.

You know, as someone who keeps a close eye on celebrity happenings, I was really struck by Ciara’s reaction to Amanda and West getting closer. She was hosting the red carpet at the Euphoria season three premiere, and instead of seeming bothered, she actually laughed it off! It’s refreshing to see someone handle potential drama with such a good attitude – she really didn’t seem fazed at all.

Ciara jokingly asked Sydney Sweeney, referencing her character’s complicated love life on HBO, ‘If you start dating your friend’s ex, what happens next?’ She posed the question at an event on April 7th.

Sydney, who plays Cassie Howard on the show, reacted with discomfort when asked about her character starting a relationship with Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi), the ex-boyfriend of her character’s best friend, Maddy Perez (Alexa Demie). She simply said, “It’s not good.”

Ciara, age 30, directly told her partner what she wanted for their future, stating, “I think we should get married.”
