West Wilson and Amanda Batula always had a playful friendship, but after news broke in March of their budding romance, their Summer House season 10 actions are being called into question.
Season 10 on the Bravo series premiered in February, one month after Amanda and Kyle Cooke announced their split following four years of marriage. Throughout the season, which was filmed in summer 2025, viewers have seen the beginning of the end of Amanda and Kyle’s tumultuous relationship.
However, it’s the intimate moments between West and Amanda that are now turning heads following their joint March 31 announcement that their feelings for each other have recently “evolved” from friends to something more.
“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 pair wrote in a joint Instagram post. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
Kyle broke his silence over the scandal on April 1, admitting that he now sees West’s season 10 actions towards Amanda in a different light.
“Looking back, there’s a lot of us that look at his body language and how touchy and handsy he is with her,” Kyle told Adam Glynn in a three-part TikTok video. “And I kinda just gave him a little bit of a hall pass, [saying], ‘Oh, it’s West.’”
Fans of the show have also taken note of West and Amanda’s deepening connection captured by the Summer House cameras during season 10 scenes, pointing out that many of their moments haven’t aged well.
Scroll down for a look back at their eyebrow-raising moments this season:
Pie in the Face

During the season premiere, which aired in February, West hosted a “county fair” themed party to kick off summer. Amidst milking a fake cow to get White Russians and doing a keg stand, West was pied in the face by his ex Ciara Miller. West then grabbed a few pies of his own and got Ciara back before grabbing Amanda and smashing the pie in her face.
West later shared photos from the first weekend in the Hamptons via Instagram, revealing that he and Amanda were both covered in whipped cream after the fun at the party. In one photo, West held onto Amanda’s neck as they both sat alone on the floor.
The Topless Plunge
At the end of episode 1, West was among the housemates who decided to jump into the pool to clean off after the pie war. When Amanda took off her bandana top and was in just her nude bra and underwear, West was the first to notice.
“Wait, Amanda is naked!” West yelled, pointing it out to the group. His eyes got wide as Amanda walked into the pool looking nearly nude.
“Your tits are so out it’s kind of insane,” West told her when she came close to him in the pool.
When Ben Waddell handed Amanda a towel, her husband, Kyle, noticed she was scantily clothed and yelled at her for being “naked.” Amanda clapped back, pointing out she was wearing clothes and everyone was in the pool.
Bear Hug
Amanda made fun of West’s voice during episode 2, after he sounded like a bear while asking, “Are we doing a boys’ car?” After Amanda mocked him, he ran over to her near the car and gave her a big bear hug.
The playful interaction came one night after Kyle claimed to West and other guys in the house that he and Amanda’s sex life was non-existent because she “smokes weed every night.”

After Kyle blew up at Ciara during episode 3 for interrupting his group apology at dinner, Amanda started to laugh. Carl Radke went to talk to Kyle and then reported back to the group that Kyle feels like Ciara doesn’t ever have his back.
West, who was seated next to Amanda at the time, then started to laugh. He made a face while looking at Amanda and insisted that Kyle was “fine.”
‘I’m Married!’
West hosted a singles’ mixer in New York City during episode 4, which Amanda attended with Lindsay Hubbard as her plus one. (Kyle was out of town for the event.)
When the ladies arrived, West greeted them, telling Lindsay, “You look hot!” As he hugged Lindsay, he looked over her shoulder and added, “You look good too, Amanda.”
“No, it’s OK, I’m married,” Amanda replied, brushing off the delayed compliment.
Later that episode, Amanda and West were chilling on a couch at their shared house in the Hamptons when she revealed she wasn’t feeling well and might need to skip Kyle’s DJ set.
“Your boyfriend has a big performance,” West told Amanda in a joking tone. “My boyfriend,” Amanda replied, laughing along with West.
Birthday Wishes

When it came to Amanda’s birthday dinner, she was once again seated next to West — with her husband Kyle on the other side. During episode 6, which aired in March, the cast went around the table and said something nice about the birthday girl, including West.
“Amanda, since I’ve known you, you’ve accomplished so many big things from where you were,” West told her while looking into her eyes. “I know you were struggling before and you’ve been out of your shell and it’s fun to watch you do s***.”
“That was very nice,” Amanda replied.
Bathroom Crying Session
During episode 8, Kyle accused Amanda of not supporting him before yelling, “F*** you,” and storming inside the house. The name-calling appeared to come out of nowhere, and although Amanda wanted to forget it happened, West wasn’t OK with the altercation.
Once Amanda was in her bathroom getting ready for bed, West came in to console her and show her support.
“Objectively, nothing just happened. That’s bizarre to me,” West confessed. “That’s the first time where I’ve ever seen something where 100 percent [it] was unprovoked.”
Amanda thanked him for “understanding” her side and started to cry off camera. “There was a part of me that was like, ‘This is the best I’m ever going to do. And he loves me so much,’” Amanda told West through tears. “[I was] constantly making excuses.”
“I care about both of them and I want them both to be happy. If Kyle is being a f***ing d***head, I don’t know, who has Amanda’s back?” West said during a confessional.
Late-night Arm Graze

Kyle and Amanda got into a bigger argument during episode 8 after he claimed she “ignored” him and only wanted to hang out with their friends. Kyle then called his spouse a “f***ing dumbass bitch.”
Amanda left the room to go to the kitchen where she encountered West in the hall. As she walked into West he tried to grab her hand for comfort but she pushed him off. Eagle-eyed fans later noticed that Amanda actually grazed West’s arm and pulled her own hand across his back before going into the kitchen.
‘Coming Back’ for West and Jesse
West confronted Kyle over being “unnecessary” with Amanda during episode 9, claiming that he was completely unprovoked.
West advised Kyle to apologize to Amanda, adding that both he and Jesse Solomon had his “back,” but he needed to say “sorry” once and for all after calling Amanda names one episode prior.
When Jesse shared with Amanda how West “literally told Kyle off,” she was happy, saying, “I love you guys.”
She then revealed, “You guys are the best and that’s why I keep coming back,” joking, “I don’t come back for him,” in reference to Kyle.
Sitting Pretty
During episode 11, which was filmed in August 2025, Amanda and West had a cozy moment — that all of their castmates saw.
As Jesse explained to the group what he envisioned for his Las Vegas-themed party that weekend, Amanda asked whether there would be “pool boys” walking around. West playfully yelled back, “No!”
Minutes later, West went and sat on Amanda’s stomach as she lounged on one of the pool chairs. As West and Amanda listened to Jesse’s plan, Kyle was seated alongside them seemingly unaware of their closeness.
“Stop farting on me, you sicko,” Amanda told West at one point, getting a big grin on her face as she teased him.
The moment comes after West had a similar moment with Ciara during episode 6. In a confessional, Ciara revealed, “Here’s the thing about West: When he sits on you, he has a crush.”
A Comforting Moment

Amanda was upset during episode 11 after she realized she hurt Ben’s feelings when she joked to his girlfriend about him allegedly wanting to “have sex” with her when they first met in Italy the prior summer. West, however, thought the whole situation was funny.
“I love that you got in trouble for something,” West told Amanda in the kitchen after she confessed she was stressed about having to apologize.
“No, I’ve cried like five times about it,” she explained, noting that she told Ben’s girlfriend, Sabrina Belle, all about “how great he’s been all summer” to try and fix her mistake.
West pretended to be Ben, saying how “he wants to f***ing slam me.” Amanda laughed as West put his hands on her shoulders to calm her down.
Crashing His Party
Throughout episode 11, West raised eyebrows among his housemates when they noticed him kissing a random girl and flirting with her in front of ex Ciara. When Amanda clocked it, she asked pal Mia Calabrese, “OK so who’s this girl that West is about to f***?”
Amanda decided to intervene and go and lay in bed with West and the girl, who was later identified as a woman named Emmie.
“Whatcha doing? Can I come in for a cuddle?” Amanda asked as she laid down next to West on a big lounge bed by the pool. “Am I crashing your party?”
West replied, “No, absolutely not” after squeezing Amanda’s arm and putting it around her.
As Amanda started to talk to the girl, West played with Amanda’s hair and brushed her shoulders. Amanda didn’t skip a beat, instead she gushed about her husband Kyle to the random woman, calling him the “best DJ in the Hamptons.”
When Amanda got up from the bed, wearing just a bikini, she told West, “I gotta go. Watch my butt when I walk away.”
All in the Name of Ciara?

Amanda called out West during episode 11, which aired in April 2026, for getting “too comfortable on probation” after he kissed a girl while sitting next to ex-girlfriend, and her longtime friend, Ciara.
“To a fault I’ve tried to protect whatever the f*** our relationship is, which I don’t even know what it is,” West told Amanda and a few of their other housemates in defense of his party faux pas.
Amanda, however, wasn’t buying it. “You guys have been making progress, so my question is: why at this small, intimate party do you decide to have this girl sitting in your lap the whole time? And, like, making out with her?” she asked.
Kyle took West’s side, telling Amanda, “That’s not fair!” Amanda clapped back at her spouse telling him not to “make me get mad at you.”
Amanda then turned back to West, telling him, “All I’m saying is if you want to make progress in your relationship with Ciara there’s a level of respect that we have to have to live here together.”
‘Any Advice?’
Amanda and Kyle met up with West during episode 12 to help him raise money for a pet adoption charity in New York City. While Kyle got West and Amanda drinks at the bar, Amanda checked in to see how West was doing after he messed up one week prior, kissing a woman in front of his ex and her then-friend Ciara.
“What upset me the most is that you’ve been such a good friend to me all summer long,” Amanda told West after the pair shared a long and lingering hug, as many fans pointed out on social media.
She reminded him, “It bothers you when you see Kyle disrespects me. [You’re] someone who’s been so supportive of me and looking out for me and standing up for me. Then to watch you disrespect Ciara in that way, it puts this weird dynamic in place.”
West explained that he had been “trying to protect everything,” but it hadn’t gone to plan. “I’m a f***ing idiot. I understand why it was disrespectful and hurtful,” West continued, before asking Amanda, “What did I just jeopardize?”
Amanda acknowledged that there are “a lot of moving pieces and a lot of layers” to West and Ciara’s dynamic, but she pointed out that it’s more complicated because they don’t hate each other.
“If you hated each other, go ahead and do whatever you want,” Amanda quipped, before making a face at him. “But you guys are also, rumor has it, super flirty when you go out at night?”
When Amanda exchanged a cheeky glance at West, he replied, “That is true,” confessing, “Now the friendship is f***ed.”
West finished the conversation by asking if Amanda had “any advice” for him, laughing awkwardly.
“Don’t go silent. Take accountability. Apologize. Then there’s no ands, ifs and buts,” Amanda advised in the eyebrow-raising scene.
West’s ‘Best Night’ Irks Amanda
Amanda stayed in New York City during episode 13 while Kyle headed to the Hamptons with their friends. While Kyle said she rarely responded back to his texts that weekend, Amanda did call her spouse while he was on a boat with their pals to vent about feeling left out — but only when it came to West.
“When West said, ‘Best night of my life,’ and you said, ‘Damn,’ was that, like, sarcasm?” Kyle asked Amanda when she called him, referring to a text message she sent to the group the night before.
Amanda confessed it was not sarcasm, explaining that she meant, “Way to rub salt in the wound.”
“Wow, so she was feeling jealous,” Kyle said under his breath to Ciara on the boat.
Amanda explained, “West’s best night of his life is the one night I’m not there? Yeah, that feels great.” Kyle fired back, “You made it about you, but I get it,” to which Amanda replied, “Of course I did.”
‘Double Date’ Death Stare

After missing the weekend in the Hamptons, Amanda reunited with the cast — and West — at Carl’s SoftBar soft launch during episode 13. When Amanda asked West about his conversation with Ciara, during which they seemingly made amends, he said it “couldn’t have gone better.”
Amanda replied, “That’s good,” but her facial expression was less enthusiastic.
West explained that after he and Ciara worked out their issues, the rest of the cast arrived and met them at the docks. “They all came later and got out of the car, I was like, ‘Uh, I wish Amanda was getting out of this f***ing car,’” West said, without expanding on why. (Kyle was standing next to them.)
Later that night, Jesse told Amanda that Ciara and West were “hanging out” after the launch party, which totally caught her off guard.
“Tonight? They have plans?” she responded, visibly shocked by the exes going on a “double date” with costars Ben and his girlfriend, Sabrina.
Jesse confessed, “I haven’t talked to West about it, but yeah, they’re back to being normal friends again, I guess.”
“OK, but like, that’s not friends,” Amanda said, once again expressing a disappointed look on her face. “How did we go from zero to 100? … West has to be cautious because I don’t think that [Ciara] can handle just a friendship. But we’ll see.”
Amanda Is ‘Weary’ of West
After Amanda learned that Ciara and West had mended their friendship, she got real about her feelings toward the situation.
“I was like, ‘The last thing I would ever do is invite Ciara and West out on an intimate date,’” Amanda told Mia during episode 14, which aired on May 5. “They just became friends.”
Mia agreed it’s “too soon” for people to be shipping West and Ciara following their ceasefire one week prior.
“Even if they got back together — happy. Literally would make me the happiest person in the whole entire world. The happiest,” Amanda claimed. “But he needs to be f***ing ready. It’s him.”
Amanda confessed, “I’m skeptical and weary of him,” noting that Ciara is “a very special, incredible person and you need to treat her differently than any other woman in the world.”
She hinted that West was not who she had in mind to rise to the occasion. “Until a man is capable of doing that I don’t trust anyone with her heart. I would die for that girl,” Amanda claimed. “The way I would cut West off in one f***ing second if she looked at me. If she gave me one look, [I’d] attack.”
Pulling Up to the Table
At the end of episode 14, Kyle began to spiral after Lindsay made a quip about his life choices, saying, “Kyle lost his wedding ring, but he found a DJ career” this year.
When Lindsay called out Kyle for pursuing a DJ career “without talking to your wife about it,” Kyle lost it. “Don’t gang up!” he yelled at the group.
Kyle then turned his attention to Amanda, who was sitting across from him at the table, and said, “F*** you.”
The group was instantly upset by Kyle’s outburst, with Lindsay telling him, “No, no! If you want to say, ‘f*** you,’ say it to me.”
West, meanwhile, told Kyle, “That’s the one thing I’ve stood up for all summer, don’t say that.”
West then moved his chair from one side of the room to sit next to Amanda and have her back, literally. “Talk to Lindsay, don’t look at Amanda. You’re fine,” West told Kyle, trying to deescalate the situation.
When Kyle began to yell at everyone, screaming, “F*** everybody,” both West and Carl jumped up to try and make him “chill the f*** out.”

The Shoulder Touch
During episode 15, which aired on May 12, Carl and Kyle got into a heated argument outside the Hamptons house after Kyle yelled, “F*** you” to Amanda at the group table.
“What happened?” Amanda asked West when she finally came outside to see what was going on between the two. “They’re fighting, but let them go,” West responded.
Amanda, however, said, “No,” and tried to interject and calm Kyle down as he continued to yell at Carl.
As Amanda grabbed Kyle’s face and told him to stop screaming at Carl, West came up behind her and put his hands on her shoulder to seemingly support her. (He also placed his hands around her back and ribcage.)
West later told Kyle that it was Lindsay who started everything, adding, “You kept looking at Amanda.” West claimed, “Your s*** with Amanda comes out when other people are talking to you,” arguing that “Amanda didn’t say anything.”
Following the end of the fight — Kyle apologized to Carl later that night — West had an intimate moment with Amanda when he was walking inside to grab a chair.
“You pulling up your f***ing chair next to me,” Amanda started to say, before getting emotional and crying into West’s chest, suggesting that she felt supported at that moment. (West previously moved his chair behind Amanda at the dinner table when Kyle started to raise his voice.)
West massaged her hair as they hugged in the foray. “Thank you,” Amanda said as West pulled her in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “I love you,” she added. West asked if Amanda was “OK” to which she nodded in approval.
Separation Could Be Good
During the same episode, West and Jesse pondered over the idea that Kyle and Amanda should separate amid their marriage problems — which Ciara had suggested earlier that weekend.
“He’s just so dramatic that I don’t think he could let her do that and not make it into, like, ‘She’s leaving me,’” West said of Kyle, claiming he wouldn’t agree with a break.
West, however, noted, “I think space would be fantastic for both of them.”
Jesse didn’t agree, replying, “I don’t think that’s the answer either. That sounds like a step towards breaking up.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
