Summer House Reunion Ends With More West, Amanda Bombshells
The three-part Summer House reunion has officially come to an end — so where does West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s romance stand?
“We are not using the word ‘love’ right now,” West, 31, revealed on the Tuesday, June 9, episode of the Bravo series after Andy Cohen asked both him and Amanda, 34, whether they are “in love” at this point.
“It’s been two months, three months,” West added, to which Amanda chimed in, “It’s so early.”
West claimed, “I’m very much committed to this relationship.”
Amanda, meanwhile, admitted that she and West “haven’t said” that they “love” each other, but shared that they were “having conversations about [how] serious our feelings [are] and where it’s going.”
Mia Calabrese asked for clarification, wondering, “So you guys are exclusive now?” West responded, “Yeah.”
Elsewhere in the episode, West revealed that he was not “monogamous” after he and Amanda first “expressed feelings,” but claimed, “Since the statement, yes,” he’d been solely dedicated to her.
Kyle Cooke — who announced his split from Amanda in January after four years of marriage — had his own questions about the pair’s relationship timeline.
“Was there any physical activity? I don’t care if there’s any emotional affair, because at this point that’s subjective, did you ever hook up in 2025?” Kyle, 43, asked them both.
West replied, “No, f*** no.” Amanda said the same, adding, “On my f***ing life on, the dogs’ life, no.”
When Andy, 58, asked the couple if they had an “affair” in summer 2025, West and Amanda replied in unison, “Absolutely not.”
Scroll down for the biggest revelations from part 3 of the Summer House reunion — including how Ciara Miller feels now that she’s said her peace:
When Did Things Turn Romantic for West and Amanda?

“We started going out a lot in February and March with a lot of my friends. Having a lot of fun,” West explained when asked about when their dynamic shifted. “Seeing her happy and having fun and kinda the Amanda I didn’t see prior, I took it kinda personal I guess.”
West called that spark in Amanda “special to me,” noting it was a “treat for me to see Amanda incredibly happy and we started spending more time together.”
Amanda, meanwhile, said there wasn’t one moment when her feelings “clicked” for West.
Instead, she told Andy, “There was just a night where he sorta said something, [like], ‘Am I crazy? Is there something here?’ I feel like all the emotions came flooding it. It wasn’t a slow burn or build up to it.”
Cast Weighs in on Strange ‘Summer House’ Moments

Throughout the reunion, the cast pointed out moments from Summer House season 10, filmed in 2025, that felt “weird,” including West pulling Amanda in and her crying on his shoulder after her blowout fight with Kyle at the dinner table.
Mia noted it was “strange” that West put his hands close to Amanda’s breast when she was trying to calm Kyle down during his fight with BFF Carl Radke out on the driveway.
Ciara, for her part, revealed that the “hardest” part to watch back was the finale when she said goodbye to Amanda for the summer through tears.
“It was really emotional for me to see a scene of me and Amanda saying goodbye to each other. Me telling her how much I love her and how special she is and she’s beautiful and she’s seen and she deserves the best,” Ciara — who dated West in 2023 and was cozy with him again in summer 2025 — told Andy. “It kinda f***ed me yup a little bit. It’s a bit bittersweet.”
Did West Have a Crush on Amanda Filming Season 10?
“No,” he insisted, before admitting, “We definitely got way closer after all the moments we shared intimately, bathroom crying night.”
Amanda claimed she didn’t have any romantic feelings for West in summer 2025, alleging, “I was so caught up and lost in my own marriage and the fallout of it. … I’m not a f***ing cheater.”
Ciara noted she “definitely” thought they had an “emotional affair” during those summer months in the Hamptons.
West took a beat then admitted, “Probably. We definitely became closer throughout the summer.”
“But not in a romantic way,” Amanda insisted.
Was Anything Going on at the 2026 Super Bowl?

Kyle explained that there was “one timeline question I’m a little worried about,” pegged to the Super Bowl, which was on February 8.
“There’s only two weeks between when we split and Super Bowl,” Kyle said, claiming, “One of your close friends thought of you guys as an item within that two week period.”
When he asked if that was true, Amanda declared, “We were not hanging out.”
West Back Peddles About His ‘Exclusive’ Relationship With Ex Meija
Meija Moreno has claimed that she and West were “exclusive” in the days and months before he went public with Amanda.
West admitted on part 3 of the reunion that he told Meija “it was not an exclusive relationship in November or December” of 2025.
Ciara claimed, “He’s lying. You sent her flowers on Valentine’s day.”
West then confessed, “I’ve been not clear with a zillion women that I’ve dated prior to this,” saying that Meija did think they were exclusive.
“So you lied to her,” Kyle said, to which West admitted, “Yeah.”
When Andy asked whether West was “seeing other women” while dating Meija, he responded, “Correct.”
West once again claimed that the title “girlfriend is not true,” to which Ciara claimed that’s because West had “loopholes” in his relationships.
Was West on Beta Blockers?
“No offense, are you on a bunch of beta blockers or what?” Andy asked West, referring to prescription medications that block stress hormones. “Everybody’s so emotional around you, about you and their relationship with you and you’re like this [blank face]?”
West replied, “I’m trying to stay composed as much as possible.”
Ciara chimed in claiming, “Or you’re just a sociopath.”
West the admitted, “I took a beta blocker. That’s why I’m not sobbing. This matters to me. I apologize if I don’t read emotional enough.”
Kyle Questions Whether West Was Ever His Friend — If He’ll Hurt Amanda

“I considered you one of the best things to happen to this show because I considered you one of my best friends,” Kyle told West, noting that he still has “love” for Amanda is “very concerned” about her well-being.
Kyle admitted, “When we broke up it was not a good marriage,” reminding West that he had a “front row seat” to all their ups and downs and still decided to “make that move and pursue these feelings you’ve essentially completely isolated her.”
West confessed he wishes he “could’ve spoken” to Kyle before their relationship made headlines, which caused Kyle to get even more upset.
“I was texting you in early February not knowing you’re in Miami on a dinner date with her about our sex life or lack there of,” Kyle revealed, noting it was a betrayal to think they were so close and he moved in on his wife.
West then admitted that Kyle’s “concern” about him “being the worst person to risk of all of this, makes total sense.”
The Social Media of It All
During the reunion, Ciara called West and Amanda “so f***ing calculated” for how they played with the cast and hid in plain sight that they were hooking up before coming forward to everyone.
“You guys bragging about it for months on end is really the point where it’s the most disrespectful to everyone,” Ciara said.
Amanda claimed her posts, one of which included a quote that said, “This is how much I care” around the time they were rumored to be dating, had “nothing to do with anything.”
“She did a 20 carousel thing of her and West and then that last one was, ‘This is how much I care,’” Kyle added, pointing to a March 22 Instagram post that Amanda uploaded.
Amanda maintained her innocence, replying, “That was a very dumb mistake on my part. Literally they’re not related.”
Ciara Breaks Down Her ‘Betrayal’

“I did a really s***y thing,” Amanda confessed when asked about her betrayal of Ciara by hooking up with West behind her back.
Ciara fire back, “You’re still doing a really s***y thing.”
“This has been a very confusing and crazy time. There’s been a lot of feelings that I’ve sorted through,” Amanda explained. “I developed feelings for someone that I wasn’t supposed to in a way that I wasn’t expecting to. There were times I lost sleep, I didn’t eat, thinking about what it was going to do to our friendship. … I f***ed up and I am deeply sorry for betraying your trust. And it kills me to know that I have caused you this pain.”
Ciara didn’t believe Amanda, reminding her she only texted her “24 hours” before she issued her statement confirming her and West’s relationship.
“Meanwhile, I’m texting Kyle, ‘What the f*** is this?’ When I have done nothing but be there for you. And Lindsay has to come and pick me up off the f***ing bathroom floor so I can go do my f***ing job,” Ciara said. “Because I couldn’t fathom being here today pissed that you’re f***ing my ex.”
Ciara noted that it’s mind-blowing that West “propositioned” Amanda and she just said, “Yeah, let’s do it.”
“At the slightest if you were my friend ever you’d be like, ‘That would be a big f*** you to Ciara. Why would I ever do that to her?,” Ciara continued. “If anything you’d be, like, ‘He wants revenge against her because he resents her so f***ing much.’ But that never even crossed your mind.”
Ciara then alleged that West wanted to “embarrass” her and wanted to get his “last little word” all to “spite” her following their split.
Amanda Claims She’s ‘Truly Sorry’

“I’ve been extremely appreciative of everything Ciara has done for me,” Amanda claimed, referring to her support amid her and Kyle’s marriage problems. “I know that I have f***ed up an incredible friendship and that’s something I will live with the rest of my life.”
Amanda added, “I cannot say sorry more to you Ciara until I’m blue in the face. I truly am sorry for what I have done. You do not deserve a friend like me and I do not deserve a friend like you.”
Kyle and Amanda Share a Moment

After a brief break, Kyle and Amanda exchanged a big hug and he started to cry over their fractured relationship.
“I hate when our 10 year relationship gets talked about as if it was 100 percent bad,” Kyle said while his heart beat was so loud it was audible on the microphone.
Amanda responded, “I know. I’m sorry.”
Lindsay Slams West and Amanda for Being ‘Short Sighted’

“Andy, I didn’t learn anything. I just feel like there’s not a lot of clarity,” Lindsay Hubbard confessed after the break. “Why did it take today to think through any of this [on their end]?”
She continued, “I’m just so confused at how such a big decision is at such high risk and you guys say you weighed all these opinions before making this decision, but you didn’t. All these guys are a mess. If you weighed all these decisions, then surely you must have thought how this would affect just the four of you.”
Lindsay directed her questions to West, calling him “the manipulator here.”
“It’s very short sighted for a f***ing hookup, for a fling,” she added.
Where Do We Go From Here?

During part 3, Bailey Taylor got real with Amanda, telling her, “I genuinely worry about you so much.”
Amanda thanked her for the concern, confessing, “Maybe I’m naive. I feel like we’ve had a lot of conversations, he and I that made me feel secure. Maybe this will be a huge mistake and I’ll wake up one day and realize it.”
Jesse Solomon, who came onto the show with West during season 8, cried multiple times during the episode, revealing he felt like he was “losing a brother.”
West admitted, “I f***ing hate that. Obviously Jesse and I are incredibly close. … The friendships here matter to me so f***ing much. It sucks knowing that I’m responsible for watching the cracks in all of this.”
Kyle, for his part, said he doesn’t “know where we go from here,” but told Andy that since his split from Amanda he made a “big effort to just be at peace.”
Kyle noted he wanted to “focus on an amicable break up,” but now that Amanda is dating West he doesn’t know what to do next.
Ciara shared that after the reunion, “I think in some ways it was cathartic. It’s nice to be able to move on with my life,” but didn’t address her future with Amanda or West.
“I hope that one day probably not all of these friendships will be mended but I do hope some of them can be. That’s a main priority,” West claimed.
How Will West and Amanda Move Forward?
When asked “was it worth it” to start dating West under these circumstances, Amanda responded, “That’s an impossible question to answer in this moment. I wish I could have both even though that’s not the case.”
West explained that if he and Amanda “can get back to what our early days were, those were very special days” then he thinks they can last.
“I think he just means when it hasn’t been dealing with the fallout and the turmoil,” Amanda added.
Cookie Time!
Despite all the drama, the cast ended on a high note by toasting to Ciara’s recent achievement — raising $160,000 for a local Girl Scout troop. They were given cookies to end the season with something sweet.
Amanda, however, took a little jab at West for not following the rules. She scolded him, saying, “Don’t eat it yet, we’re cheersing!”
