Summer House’s Amanda Batula and West Wilson seen together for first time since going public with controversial romance

by

Just after Amanda Batula apologized for the drama surrounding their relationship, she and West Wilson were seen together, according to reports.

I was so excited to see photos of Batula, 34, and West, 31, hanging out at the Blind Tiger Alehouse in New York City! A fan account shared the pictures on Instagram on Friday, and it totally made my day.

It’s unknown if the duo were enjoying an outing by themselves or if they were joined by friends.

This comes after Batula publicly apologized on Instagram for the pain caused by her hidden relationship with Wilson, just hours earlier.

Wilson has a complicated connection to Batula’s past. He’s friends with her ex-boyfriend, Kyle Cooke, and Batula is friends with Kyle’s ex, Ciara Miller.

She shared a photo of her sleeping dog on Instagram Stories, writing, ‘Just a quick update!’

I know I’ve been gone for a while, and I sincerely apologize to anyone I’ve let down or hurt, particularly those of you I’ve contacted directly.

I’m working on getting back to a more normal life for my own well-being. If you see me out and about or online, please understand that I’m still deeply affected by everything that’s happened, and I haven’t forgotten it.

‘I’ll be at the reunion and will be addressing any and all questions honestly and directly there.’

According to TMZ, Owen Wilson is planning to attend the upcoming reunion, which will be filmed in the next few weeks.

Wilson is still planning to go, even though he expects the reunion to mostly revolve around relationship issues.

Batula and Wilson recently confirmed they are dating. They acknowledged the rumors that have been circulating online, saying they wanted to be upfront about their new relationship.

We never meant to keep anything secret. Because of the complex feelings between us and the pressure of being on a reality show, we just needed some time to sort things out privately before talking about it.

We’ve been friends for a long time, supporting each other through everything, and this recent development was a complete surprise to both of us.

We were already close friends, so it was really important to handle things thoughtfully and carefully.

‘As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling.’

I want to be clear: we understand our recent actions affected others, and that was never our intention. We truly regret if anything we did caused pain or came across as insensitive. It’s important to me that you know we care and never meant to be careless.

It concluded: ‘We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.’

Okay, so the news is officially out! For days, everyone was buzzing about a possible romance after Deux Moi – you know, that famous gossip account – posted rumors and even a claim about a kiss. Now it’s been confirmed – they are together! It’s always fun to see a little Hollywood romance blossom, and this one definitely had people talking.

Batula announced her divorce from Cooke after four years of marriage in January as well.

Miller hadn’t said much publicly about her ex dating her friend, but she finally spoke out the same day Wilson and Batula announced they were a couple.

The reality TV star shared a video and questioned who you can rely on if not your close friends and local community, writing, ‘If you can’t trust your Friends & Neighbors, who can you trust?’

In the video, Miller reported from the red carpet at the premiere of Your Friends & Neighbors season 2, conducting interviews with the cast for Apple TV+.

In an interview with 55-year-old Jon Hamm, the show’s star, Miller asked him how he was doing.

‘Wonderful, thank you. How are you?’ Hamm replies.

The camera then zooms in on Miller, who says, ‘I’m good,’ before adding, ‘Well, I’ve been better.’

She also playfully suggested that everyone involved in the video is ‘completely lacking in morals.’

She also told another cast member that she is ‘on Prozac.’

During an interview with Sydney Sweeney at the Euphoria premiere, the interviewer sharply questioned her about a potentially awkward situation, asking what someone should do after dating a friend’s ex-boyfriend.

Miller suddenly said, looking directly at the camera, ‘You should really get married,’ cutting Sweeney off before they could respond.

Sweeney responded, ‘I certainly hope so. Whatever you’re asking for needs to be valuable, because going through all this hardship shouldn’t be for nothing.’

People are wondering how long Batula and West have been attracted to each other, drawing comparisons to the cheating scandal on Vanderpump Rules – often called ‘Scandoval’ – where Tom Sandoval cheated on Ariana Madix with Raquel Leviss.

Fans on Reddit and TikTok buzzed with theories, and on Instagram, viewers noticed something interesting: both Batula and Wilson seemed to own the same distinctive sweatshirt. Wilson was photographed wearing it back in November 2025, and Batula just recently.

Wilson and Miller’s breakup was complicated by Wilson giving several interviews about it, including a detailed one with The New York Times.

In an interview with The Times, Wilson explained he was unable to confirm Miller’s involvement due to issues connected with the show itself.

He said at the time that he didn’t believe it was fair to blame those issues for the breakup.

Wilson admitted she might have come across more truthfully if she’d simply said the relationship had naturally ended and they weren’t a good match, leaving it at that.

I realize now that trying to avoid talking directly about the relationship and focusing on other issues just made me seem foolish.

Miller has been very open about how much the relationship affected her, even becoming emotional and crying during the Summer House Season 8 reunion.
