Summer House's Amanda Batula & West Wilson Confirm They're Dating Amid Rumors

For Ciara Miller, the tides haven't changed all that much.

After the Summer House star's BFF Amanda Batula and her ex West Wilson confirmed they're now dating, the 30-year-old shared an update on her wellbeing with a simple comment.

Indeed, while attending the Euphoria season three premiere April 7, Ciara told Entertainment Tonight that she's "thriving."

The model's red carpet appearance serves as her first after West, 28, and Amanda, 34, responded to rumors they were more than just friends after weeks of speculation.

"It was never our intention to purposely hide anything," the March 31 statement shared to both their respective Instagram accounts read. "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."

"We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years," they noted, "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, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care."

In their statement, the pair emphasized that they "recognize that this has never had an impact beyond just" them as a couple.

"We truly appreciate the understanding," they added, "and respect as we navigate this."

Ciara's response also comes as she and West—who intitally went through a messy breakup in 2023—are seen exploring the idea of rekindling their relationship during season 10, which is currently airing.

In fact, during the Bravo show's midseason trailer, Ben Waddell asked West, "Is the door still open with Ciara?" This, in turn, led the sports journalist to respond with, “It’s hard to ignore the sexual tension, but the last thing I want is her f--king heartbroken."

However, in the March 17 preview, that door seemed to quickly shut again as Ciara was seen leaving the backyard while wondering, "What the f--k?!"

And though the teaser didn’t reveal what went down between Ciara and West, after Amanda—who announced in January that she and estranged husband Kyle Cooke had broken up—asked him what he was thinking, West admitted that he "really f--ked up."

The up-and-down dynamic led Ciara to declare through tears: "I don't want to keep living like this."
