Traitors' Boston Rob, Dylan Efron Support Ciara Miller Amid Amanda Batula, West Wilson Romance
Paige DeSorbo will always be part of Ciara Miller’s squad.
Days after Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirmed rumors they are dating, their former Summer House costar set the record straight on how she’s backing BFF Ciara, whose rocky romance with West ended in 2023.
“Obviously, we’re alive. We see the internet, we know what’s going on,” Paige told cohost Hannah Berner on the April 3 episode of their Giggly Squad podcast. “If you don’t laugh you’ll cry.”
“Ciara is our real friend, in real life. So we have been talking to her, consoling her,” the 33-year-old continued. “We are behind her 100 percent. We would never capitalize or monetize off of our friend’s heartbreak.”
Paige went on to share “the final thing” she was going to say about the situation.
“Ciara is a strong, intelligent, capable woman,” she said. “She will speak her truth when it is her time. I would never speak for her.”
For Paige and Hannah, the latest scandal reaffirmed their decision to step back from Summer House, which Paige appeared on for six seasons, with Hannah joining her for three of them.
“There is very concrete reasons on why Hannah and I are no longer a part of reality TV,” Paige explained. “It’s one of the scariest things you can ever do in your entire life.”
As Hannah recalled, when Ciara joined the cast during season five, the idea was for the two “to be beefing” from the start. But thankfully, that never came to pass.

“The second I met her, I looked in the eye, and we were like, ‘I love you. You love cats. I f--k with you,’” Hannah said. “And she’s had my back since the day I met her. And I feel the same towards her.”
And Paige and Hannah have made their love for Ciara known since the news of Amanda and West’s relationship first became public on March 31.
"Being shocked on the internet is the theme today," Paige commented on Hannah’s Instagram video that day, which featured the 34-year-old rapping about her menstrual cycle as a paid partnership with Honest flushable wipes. "I guess we know where Hannah stands."
Paige also left a comment on Ciara’s Instagram, complimenting the 30-year-old’s hosting duties during the March 30 season two premiere of Apple TV's Your Neighbors & Friends, writing, "Ur perfect.”
Summer House's Lindsay Hubbard and Dara Levitan also proved they are Team Ciara, with Lindsay commenting, “Perfection,” while Dara added, “And that’s how you do it.”

West, 31, and Ciara first began a relationship in summer 2023 before ending it later that year.
Amanda, 34, experienced her own romantic difficulties, announcing in January that she and Kyle Cooke had split after four years of marriage.
And now, amid Amanda’s budding romance with West, reports have surfaced claiming he had been hooking up with his ex Ciara as recently as three weeks ago, but a source close to West told E! News that the narrative that "Ciara and he have been recently hooking up is not true.”
The source added, “Not in 2026.”
