Summer House: Kyle Cooke Alleges Proof West Wilson Had a Girlfriend

by

Kyle Cooke is bringing the receipts. 

In a preview of the Summer House season 10 reunion, one of the stars claimed he has evidence that West Wilson was seeing someone else while he was getting back together with Ciara Miller last summer, and also while he began his relationship with Amanda Batula.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m following the drama! At the recent NBCUniversal Upfront event, we got a sneak peek showing Kyle advising Ciara, along with castmates Carl Radke, Mia Calabrese, and Ben Waddell, to really pay attention to how easily West bends the truth. Apparently, this was all preparation for a big sit-down with Andy Cohen, where the whole crew – including Amanda, Lindsay Hubbard, Jesse Solomon, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan Bailey Taylor, and Levi Sebree – would be hashing things out.

Kyle revealed in the reunion episode that they were in a committed, exclusive relationship starting in February 2025, and he has proof to back it up.

Ciara also shared her thoughts, claiming that her ex, whom she separated from in December 2023, “had a girlfriend the whole time.” She seemed excited about it, adding, “Can’t wait!”

Kyle and Ciara are trying to piece together what happened when. Kyle publicly announced his split from Amanda on January 19th. Interestingly, Ciara had previously confided in Amanda about her complicated relationship with West. Then, on March 31st, West and Amanda revealed they were dating, explaining they hadn’t meant to keep it a secret.

As for the alleged secret girlfriend? Kyle and Ciara didn’t reveal her identity in the teaser.

This week, controversy surrounding West’s dating life has also emerged from claims made by Ciara, who alleged that Jenn Fessler and West had a romantic relationship. Fessler, a former cast member of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, has denied the accusation.

Jenn recently posted on Instagram that sharing false and damaging information on social media is unacceptable, even if you believe it to be true. She explained that doing so constitutes libel.

She explained that if the claim were true, she couldn’t do anything about it. But since it’s false, the situation could become more difficult. Despite this, she expressed hope they could resolve the issue, and stated she’d had enough of it.

West also refuted Ciara’s claim that he had a fling with Jenn, saying on Instagram he hadn’t known anything about it. He’d previously mentioned on his podcast, Show Me Something, that everyone involved was single before he started dating Amanda.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following Ciara Miller and West Wilson’s story, and it’s so lovely to see their connection blossom! They actually found love while filming season eight of Summer House in 2023, and thankfully, their romance continued even after the cameras stopped rolling. It’s always exciting when a showmance turns into something real!

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

Their 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 begins airing in 2026.

The longtime co-stars announced on Instagram on January 19th that they have decided to separate. They shared a joint statement saying the decision was mutual and made with kindness, and they asked for privacy and support as they both focus on moving forward and healing.

As a longtime fan of Amanda and Kyle, it was heartbreaking to read their recent statement. They got married back in September 2021, and they shared that it feels strange even asking for privacy, because they’ve always been so open about their relationship. But they’re going through a tough time, and they’ve asked for our kindness and respect as they figure things out. Honestly, that’s all anyone could ask for, and I’m sending them all my support as they start this new chapter.

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

Talk about a possible romance between Amanda and West started gaining traction after the gossip blog Deuxmoi reported on March 5th that the two actors were seen looking cozy together in New York City.

Addressing rumors, West dismissed the speculation during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on March 24th. He explained that she was recently single and that he was simply showing her around New York, as he had done with others she’d dated before. He stated, “She’s single now and it happened already to other people she’s hung out with. We were just hanging out in New York. She’s single now, I gotta show her the streets a little.”

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

After news spread about a possible relationship between West and Amanda, some of their colleagues spoke out 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 bewilderment on their own social media accounts.

Austen Kroll, who also stars on Bravo and is friends with several cast members of Summer House, appeared to weigh in on the drama. On March 29th, he posted to his Instagram Stories, “Apparently, dating your friends’ exes and eating pasta are both trending again.”

On March 31st, Amanda and West publicly confirmed long-standing rumors in a joint statement posted on Instagram.

We never meant to keep our relationship a secret,” the message on their Instagram Stories explained. “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 in New York City looking upset and being comforted by a friend. She also started getting support from friends and fellow reality stars online, as people began choosing sides in the drama surrounding the new relationship.

Amanda’s soon-to-be ex-husband, Kyle Cooke, appeared to joke about their ongoing issues by posting a selfie with Ciara on Instagram on March 30th.

Paige DeSorbo, known from Summer House, publicly showed her support for Ciara in an Instagram comment, simply writing, “Ur perfect.” Lindsay Hubbard and Dara Levitan, a new addition to the show, also voiced their support for Ciara, with Lindsay commenting “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 completely ended our friendship, and I don’t understand where the loyalty was,” he said, referencing the idea of ‘bro code’.

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. He added that while people are celebrating West’s apparent change for the better, it seems like West was deliberately flattering them as a tactic.

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, and we’ve been supporting her through this difficult time,” said a Summer House cast member on the April 3rd episode of their Giggly Squad podcast. “We completely support her and would never try to profit from her pain.

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

Paige emphasized that Ciara is a strong, smart, and capable woman. She explained that Ciara will share her thoughts and feelings when she’s ready, and Paige wouldn’t presume 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 told Entertainment Tonight she’s doing well and is happy for Amanda and West as they navigate their new relationship, which has been getting a lot of attention.

Ciara showed she wasn’t bothered by Amanda and West’s new relationship, playfully dismissing it while she hosted the red carpet event for the premiere of HBO Max’s Euphoria season three.

Ciara jokingly asked Sydney Sweeney, who often plays characters involved in complicated love lives, what she thought would happen if someone dated their friend’s ex-boyfriend. 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.”

Following a week of backlash, Amanda broke her silence to address angry fans. 

In a recent Instagram post on April 10th, the 34-year-old expressed sincere apologies to those they’ve hurt or let down, particularly those close to them who they’ve already contacted personally.

She explained that she’s trying to get back to a more normal life for her own well-being. She asked that if people see her out or online, they understand she’s still deeply affected by everything that’s happened and hasn’t forgotten it.

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.

Okay, so it’s been almost three weeks since West and Amanda finally confirmed they were together, and I was dying to know what Ciara thought! Finally, she actually talked about it – she didn’t shy away from the drama at all, she addressed everything head-on! I was glued to my screen, honestly.

Ciara recently told Glamour magazine that dealing with personal heartbreak is hard enough, but having it play out in public adds another level of difficulty. She specifically mentioned the added pain of watching what she considered her life continue on television in season 10 of a show, calling it incredibly disorienting.

The woman, age 30, said she was much closer to Amanda before the scandal came to light. She also mentioned she and West were trying to improve their relationship at the time. Because of their previous closeness, she felt Amanda’s actions were a deeper betrayal than West’s.

Ultimately, people are who they are,” Ciara explained. “Regardless of what’s happening with me and West, you can’t always predict what someone will do. What’s most surprising to me is that it came from Amanda, someone I’ve considered a friend and supporter for a long time. That’s what I find the hardest to believe.”
