Ciara Miller unfollowed her ex West Wilson and his new girlfriend, Amanda Batula, as news of their romance surfaced.
The unfollowing of Miller’s ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend came minutes after Batula shared a statement on Instagram, confirming she was dating her BFF’s ex.
In a joint statement, Batula and Wilson wrote that they have “seen the growing online speculation,” so “they wanted to provide some clarity.”
“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything,” she wrote. “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, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected.”
The couple noted that their “connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship” and that they did not quickly go public with their romance because they wanted to “approach this with care.”
“As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless,” the pair penned.
Wilson, 31, and Batula, 34, concluded the post by writing that they “truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
Batula’s budding romance comes two months after she announced her separation from husband Kyle Cooke.
The exes called it quits in January after four years of marriage.
On the other hand, Wilson dated Batula’s best friend, Miller, for four months in 2023. The pair began their short-lived fling at the end of filming for Season 8 of the Bravo reality show in the summer of 2023 and ended things that December.
Rumors that Wilson and Batula were secretly hooking up began surfacing in March when sources told the gossip site Deuxmoi that they had seen the co-stars getting flirty around New York City.
