Summer House the stars West Wilson again Amanda BatulaThe relationship continues to be strong – even if there is a public backlash.
“West and Amanda are still dating,” the source said Us Weeklystating that “the actors don’t think they will last long.”
Despite the costars’ doubts about romance, West, 31, and Amanda, 34, are moving forward together.
“West took Amanda to meet her parents in May,” the insider said. “So they take it seriously.”
West and Amanda made headlines in March when they confirmed that their platonic relationship had turned into something else.
The timing of their relationship raised eyebrows as it came a few months after Amanda and her now estranged husband Kyle Cooke announced in January that they were divorcing after four years of marriage.
The West’s past relationship with Summer House partner Ciara Millerwho was once one of Amanda’s best friends, also made many fans do a double take.
West and Ciara, 30, dated in 2023, and although their relationship ended badly, they remained flirtatious. In fact, throughout the 10th season of Summer Housethat was filmed in the summer of 2025, West and Ciara appeared to rekindle their romance and even hit it off during the season finale.
After West and Amanda went public with their romance, the source said Us that Ciara was “heartbroken” and felt “betrayed” by the pair’s actions.
A different insider told it Us in April that West and Ciara had just met “about three to four weeks ago,” and that he knew nothing about his relationship with Amanda.
West, meanwhile, denied in April that there was “overlap” between his relationships.
Kyle, meanwhile, confronted Amanda about her timeline with West during the show In the city premiere, which premiered on Tuesday, May 19.
“You can tell honestly, about Thanksgiving [2025]if so, even if it was an emotional issue with the West?” Kyle asked Amanda in a scene taped on April 9. “I’m hearing things.”

Ciara didn’t mince words in the trailer as she spoke to her ex-BFF Amanda, who sat across from her on the couch.
