West Wilson Says Ciara and Amanda Batula Are Doing Their Best
ciara got a fresh relationship update on Monday, May 25, when West Wilson said on his podcast, Show Me Something, that he and Amanda Batula are “doing our best.” The comment lands after months of public scrutiny around their Summer House timeline, with the reunion pushing the pair to address how their connection started.
West Wilson's May 25 update
Wilson did not dress it up. “It’s still a little — like, going out in public is kinda scary because of literally what I want, OK, what we’re about to do,” he said, before adding, “There have been so many f---ing, stupid f---ing posts on the internet.” That puts the relationship in a strange spot: more public than ever, but still being managed carefully by the two people inside it.
He said on Show Me Something that he and Batula are still trying to handle the pressure around them. For viewers following the Summer House cast, the update adds a current status point to a storyline that has moved from rumor to open discussion over the last few months.
February to March timeline
Batula and Wilson said during Part 1 of the Summer House Season 10 reunion that their friendship turned romantic in February, and that their first kiss happened during a post-brunch outing with cast members. By March, they had confirmed their connection amid Batula’s split from Kyle Cooke, which is why every new comment about the relationship keeps landing inside a wider cast story rather than a private one.
At the reunion, Andy Cohen asked, “Who made the first move?” Wilson answered that he did, saying, “When we were out, I, like, kind of looked at Amanda, and I was like, ‘Am I f---in’ crazy, or is there something going on here?’” That detail gives the timeline a sharper edge: this was not a vague off-screen rumor, but a relationship that the show itself has now put on the record.
Amanda Batula's reunion response
Backstage at the reunion, Batula said, “This is obviously the most nervous I’ve ever been, easily. But I’m ready to face the chaos and clear everything up.” She also said she wanted to clear up the timeline and that there was “no affair and nothing malicious,” adding, “And it’s just two people that had feelings for each other that shouldn’t have.”
That leaves the practical takeaway for anyone tracking Summer House closely: Wilson’s May 25 podcast remarks are the latest public line in a relationship that has already moved through February, March, and Part 1 of Season 10’s reunion. For now, the clearest read is also the simplest one — the pair are still together, still speaking about the scrutiny, and still trying to keep the story from being defined by internet speculation alone.
