The truth about wild rumor Rihanna set up Michael B. Jordan and Summer House star Ciara Miller

Summer House star Ciara Miller is one of the most eligible bachelorettes in Hollywood following the shock revelation that her best friend and former hookup are now dating.

Fans have been pining for the beloved reality star to get redemption by moving on with a bigger and more powerful star than her ex and co–star West Wilson.

The rumor mill was buzzing when, just two weeks ago, the gossip Instagram account DeuxMoi received a titillating tip that linked Miller to A–lister Michael B. Jordan.

The anonymous tipster claimed that Rihanna – a well–known, die–hard Summer House fan who had shown her allegiance to Miller, 30, by reportedly unfollowing West and Amanda Batula on Instagram – had 'decided to play matchmaker for Ciara.'

'She's been DMing her and a VERY prominent A–list actor who JUST won an award and is apparently very interested,' the tip continued.

Followers immediately concluded that the tip must have been about Jordan, 39, as he had just won the Oscar for Best Actor for his dual roles in the hit film Sinners.

Earlier this week, when Andy Cohen asked Miller's best friend and co–star, Mia Calabrese, on Watch What Happens Live if there were any truth to the rumors, she played coy and said: 'I'm open to it. I hope it's true.' 

The Daily Mail has exclusively learned, however, that Jordan has not had any contact with Miller and any claims that he has expressed interest in dating her are untrue.

'It's just a rumor,' a source close to the actor exclusively told us. 'He's editing his film and has no time for anything else right now.'

Jordan has been tied up with the highly anticipated The Thomas Crown Affair in which he not only stars as the leading man but has also directed.

On Wednesday evening in Las Vegas, he made his first appearance since the Oscars to give the audience at CinemaCon a first look at the 1968 crime–thriller remake.

The original film centers around a billionaire who steals a painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art who is then pursued by an insurance investigator (played by Adria Arjona in Jordan's version), and the two fall in love.

Jordan has been very open about the fact that romance has taken a back seat to his profession in recent years due to his busy schedule. 

'I go back and forth between wanting partnership and then not knowing what's the best partner for me,' the Creed star explained on the Jay Shetty Podcast in 2024.

'Like bringing them into my world and what I have going on isn't easy. It's not just I love you, you love me. That should be enough right? It's not quite that simple. Finding the right person to understand all of me, but then all that comes with me, as well.'

Ahead of the Academy Awards, sources explained further to the Daily Mail that Jordan can find it 'difficult' to date because it's not easy to find someone aligned with his lifestyle and goals.

'He doesn't want to be single, but he is choosing to be because that is what life is bringing him right now. He's likely going to be single for a while,' a source said.

The insider noted that after things did not work out with Lori Harvey – with whom he was in a headline–making relationship – he figured he 'may as well put his all into his work,' which has paid off given all of the accolades he has accomplished. 

It's unclear whether Miller, for her part, is ready to dive into the dating pool after Wilson and Batula's betrayal.

She has yet to directly address the scandal, but is set to speak on it soon when she and her co–stars come face–to–face at the Summer House season 10 reunion.

Meanwhile, Batula, 34, and Wilson, 31, are still going strong as they were spotted bar–hopping in New York City together last weekend – despite the public backlash.

In a joint statement that confirmed their romance following weeks of secrecy and speculation, the pair said: '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, long–standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.'

Batula is still legally married to her other Summer House co–star Kyle Cooke, though the two announced their split in January, just before Batula and Wilson went public.

Cooke, 43, has shown support for his estranged wife and her mental health despite all of the drama, but shared he was preparing to 'confront' Wilson.

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Miller and Jordan for comment.
