In a twist that has sent ripples through the Summer House cast and their fanbase, Amanda Batula and West Wilson have confirmed they are dating, just months after Batula's separation from her longtime husband Kyle Cooke and Wilson's messy breakup with Ciara Miller. The announcement, shared via a joint Instagram Stories statement on March 31, 2026, comes amid speculation that had been building for weeks about the evolution of their friendship into romance. "It was never our intention to purposely hide anything," the pair wrote, addressing the "very new" relationship. "Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it."
The confirmation has drawn sharp reactions from Miller's close friends, highlighting the fractured dynamics within the Bravo show's circle. Paige DeSorbo, a former Summer House cast member and Miller's best friend, appeared to side firmly with Miller in subtle social media comments. On March 31, DeSorbo responded to a video posted by her Giggly Squad podcast cohost Hannah Berner, who was promoting Honest flushable wipes with a humorous rap about her menstrual cycle. "Being shocked on the internet is the theme today," DeSorbo wrote, adding, "I guess we know where Hannah stands." Later that day, DeSorbo complimented Miller's appearance while hosting the red carpet for the season two premiere of Apple TV's Your Neighbors & Friends in New York City on March 30. "Ur perfect," she commented on Miller's Instagram post, followed by several clapping hands emojis.
Other castmates echoed DeSorbo's support for Miller. Lindsay Hubbard, an original Summer House star, commented "Perfection" on the same post, while season 10 newcomer Dara Levitan added, "And that’s how you do it." Miller herself addressed the drama lightly during an interview at the event with series star Jon Hamm. When the actor asked, "How are you?" the 30-year-old former nurse replied, "Good—well, I've been better." She further alluded to the situation in the caption of her Instagram video from the premiere: "If you can’t trust your Friends & Neighbors, who can you trust?" Notably, Miller had unfollowed both Batula and Wilson on social media amid the growing love triangle rumors.
The backstory to this development traces back to the turbulent romance between Wilson and Miller, which began in 2022 and was marked by an on-again, off-again pattern. Their relationship played out publicly on Summer House, including hints of rekindled attraction in episode seven of season 10, which premiered in February 2026. However, the couple confirmed their separation ahead of the season, and by March 2026, Wilson had moved on with Batula, Miller's close friend. According to reports, the breakup with Miller ended messily in 2023, setting the stage for ongoing tensions.
Batula's side of the equation adds further layers of complexity. The 33-year-old entrepreneur announced her split from Cooke in January 2026, after four years of marriage and nearly a decade together. Cooke reflected on the public nature of the breakup during a Bravo conversation at 92NY that month. "I don't think anything can kind of prepare you for a big public breakup," he said, per People magazine. "But I think that more important than anything is just making sure that Amanda is good, and it's just been amazing having her support, because it is not easy." The former couple has not yet filed for divorce, but Batula's confirmation of her romance with Wilson has shifted the focus.
In their joint statement, Batula and Wilson emphasized the unexpected nature of their connection. "What’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected," they wrote. "Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care." They also acknowledged the potential for hurt, stating, "We also recognize that this has never had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless." The pair expressed appreciation for understanding as they navigate the relationship, which has been under intense scrutiny due to the reality TV spotlight.
Beyond the immediate drama, the Summer House cast's romantic entanglements form a web of past and present relationships that continue to influence group dynamics. Hannah Berner, DeSorbo's podcast partner, remains happily married to comedian Des Bishop. The couple wed in 2022 after two years of dating, following a brief and chaotic flirtation with castmate Luke Gulbranson in 2020. Berner described her bond with Bishop to People shortly after their 2021 engagement: "He lets me be me, and we laugh together. I make him laugh, and he makes me laugh." She added, "I really just fell in love with how his mind works. And I really listen to his advice, and I really just respect him."
Cooke and Batula's decade-long journey from housemates to spouses captivated fans, but their separation marked the end of what many saw as an enduring partnership. Meanwhile, DeSorbo's own romantic history includes a split from Southern Charm's Craig Conover in 2024, after they began dating in 2021. Reflecting on the breakup during a 2024 episode of Giggly Squad, DeSorbo said, "I have so much love and respect for Craig. I think he is one of the best people I have ever met in my entire life. I will remain the biggest fan of him and want the best for him and he truly will get the best because he is the best." She framed the decision as mutual: "It was just the right decision for both of us moving forward in our lives and the direction in our lives that we didn’t force."
Wilson's past includes a brief romance with Miller's friend Ciara in the mix with Gulbranson, though that fizzled out. Gulbranson later dated The Bachelorette's Tayshia Adams until their 2025 split. Miller herself had a short-lived connection with Gulbranson in 2021, which strained friendships but eventually led to a somewhat amicable coexistence. Carl Radke, another longtime cast member, has navigated his share of romantic fallout, including a 2018 hookup with Lauren Wirkus that ended poorly. Radke took responsibility in a 2019 interview with The Daily Dish: "I chalk that up to a lot of just immaturity on my end. Also, I think, just my communication skills with her, I struggled really to be honest with how I felt."
Radke's more recent high-profile relationship was with Hubbard, which escalated from friendship to engagement in 2022. They called off their wedding plans later that year, with Hubbard telling Us Weekly, "I was completely blindsided. He blew up my entire life. I was crying, I was angry, and I had to find closure on my own. Now I’m at a place where I feel really good about moving on." Hubbard welcomed daughter Gemma with then-boyfriend Tanner Kufe in 2024 and has maintained a friendly post-split dynamic with her ex Everett Weston, attending his 2023 wedding to Courtney Cavanagh in Ireland.
Danielle Olivera and Robert Sieber represented a more stable pairing until their 2023 breakup, which Olivera initially described as amicable. However, she later expressed frustration upon learning of Sieber's quick move to a new partner. "He's with someone he works with, and someone I had called out during our last breakup conversation and he told me I was crazy," she told The Daily Dish in 2023. "Women's intuition, every time." DeSorbo's earlier off-screen relationship with Perry Rahbar in 2020 ended quietly, with Rahbar reportedly getting engaged in 2023 based on his Instagram.
Radke also had a fleeting 2018 romance with DeSorbo herself, which ended without major drama. He expressed fondness for her in a 2025 E! News interview amid her departure from the show: "I love Paige. We're sad to see her not be a part of it, but understanding that she had a lot going on this summer." Hubbard's brief 2021 fling with Stephen Traversie provided comic relief, remembered for his infamous season five PowerPoint presentation, though it burned out quickly.
As Summer House season 10 unfolds on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo, viewers can expect the fallout from Batula and Wilson's romance to dominate house dynamics. The show's history of intertwining friendships and romances often amplifies personal conflicts, turning private matters into public spectacles. With Miller's allies vocal in their support and the new couple seeking privacy, the coming episodes may reveal more about the emotional toll and shifting alliances.
The broader implications for the cast extend beyond this triangle, underscoring the challenges of maintaining relationships under reality TV's glare. Past splits, like Berner and Gulbranson's near-disastrous 2020 flirtation or the Wirkus twins' protective fallout with Radke, illustrate how quickly bonds can fray. As cast members like Hubbard embrace new chapters—such as motherhood—others grapple with fresh heartaches, reminding fans that even in the Hamptons summer house, trust and loyalty remain fragile.
Looking ahead, Batula and Wilson have asked for respect as they proceed, but the Bravo universe rarely affords such space. With season 10 airing and social media buzzing, the story is far from over, promising more revelations about love, betrayal, and reconciliation among these reality stars.
