Look back at 'Summer House' stars Ciara Miller and West Wilson's relationship amid the ongoing drama with Amanda Batula
The season was filmed during summer 2023, but fans didn’t get an inside look into their relationship until episodes hit Bravo starting in February 2024. Things between West and Ciara were hot and heavy in the beginning — but they fizzled out just as quick.
After going their separate ways, West made things a little too public, causing tension between him and Ciara. The next two seasons featured West attempting to get back in Ciara's good graces. As Summer House season 10 continued to air in 2026, it appeared that West and Ciara had finally made it to a good place. However, the rift between them deepened off camera when West and costar Amanda Batula — one of Ciara’s closest friends — confirmed their romance. Amanda separated from husband Kyle Cooke in January 2026 after four years of marriage, and rumors soon started to swirl that Amanda had moved on with West. After initially denying that they were anything more than friends, Amanda and West issued a joint statement confirming their romance. “We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” they wrote in March 2026. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. 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.” They added, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”Keep scrolling to look back at West and Ciara’s relationship timeline:The Summer House season 8 premiere was filmed in 2023 with the two crossing paths for the first time.
