In last night’s explosive episode of Summer House: The Aftermath, West Wilson tried to convince Kyle Cooke that his feelings for Amanda Batula were real, but fans are still not buying it.
West, 31, sat down with Kyle, 43, on May 20, ahead of the reunion, to discuss his relationship with Amanda, 34, following her January split from Kyle after four years of marriage
“Do you love her?” Kyle, Amanda’s estranged husband, asked.
“Yeah,” West replied. “I mean, I said I love her the night I left your guys room to her.” West was referring to a moment from August 2025, when he told Amanda, “Amanda, I love you, OK,” after she and Kyle fought in the Hamptons. West told Kyle, “I really care about her, a f–king ton.”
But West also admitted that he was not “in love” with Amanda.
Kyle called out West’s pursuit of Ciara Miller during season 10, saying, “The things that you did to lure Ciara back in sometimes it’s so blatant on screen.”
West admitted that after the summer ended, he and Ciara kissed “twice, I believe.”
He also addressed his longtime, secret girlfriend, Meija Moreno, who also appeared on last night’s special, saying, “She 100 percent was operating as if we had an exclusive relationship and I wasn’t.”
“That’s unfair and that’s f–king s-itty,” he continued. “I definitely led her on.”
West said his feelings for Amanda went “beyond friendship” in February but fans quickly noticed that he told her back in August of 2025 that he loved her, so he remarks quickly fueled yet more speculation about the contested timeline.
Since the reunion aired this month, Amanda and West have continued to date, with West even taking her to a wedding in Italy. In her segment of The Aftermath, Amanda blamed West for their romance, alluding to the reality star taking advantage of her while she was vulnerable following her split from Kyle.
