‘Summer House’ Cast Reacts to Amanda Batula, West Wilson Romance Rumors

Kyle Cooke has entered the chat.

The Loverboy founder seemingly reacted to rumors that his estranged wife Amanda Batula recently began hooking up with their Summer House costar West Wilson.

On March 30, Kyle posted an Instagram photo of himself and costar Ciara Miller—whose rollercoaster relationship with West ended messily in 2023—wearing old people makeup and prosthetics from his 43rd birthday party last July, which is currently playing out on season 10 of the Bravo reality series.

He captioned the selfie, "Instagram vs. Reality," while posting what appeared to be the exact same photo twice in a row.

Fans were quick to note that Kyle, who announced his split from Amanda in January after four years of marriage, tagged the location of the post as "Psych Ward" amid the dizzying-tornado of online reports surrounding his ex and West. (E! News previously reached out to Amanda and West's reps for comment but did not get an immediate response.)

And while Kyle didn't explicitly give his two cents on the alleged drama, fans went wild in the comments section with their own theories about the costars' alleged fling. 

"I’ll take this as confirmation," one follower wrote, while another reacted with, "Welp this post finally has me convinced!! Literally the only reason he would post Ciara! She doesn’t even like Kyle."

A third user added, "This is some scandoval level s--t if it’s true tbh."

As for what other Summer House cast members think of the unconfirmed romance rumblings? 

Carl Radke shared a photo of himself looking confused to his Instagram Stories March 29, with Lindsay Hubbard and KJ Dillard posting similar "WTF?" expressions on their socials.

Lindsay took the social media chatter a step further by sharing a puckered-up selfie with Ciara to her Instagram Stories, hinting she might just be Team Ciara in all the commotion.

While Amanda and West have yet to confirm or deny they hooked up, Kyle was grilled about the fling rumors earlier this month before they began picking up some serious steam.

"I kind of thought it was outrageous," Kyle shared on Watch What Happens Live March 10. "For it to go as long as it has in the in the news cycle is kind of shocking. But no, I don't think there's any merit to it."

However, the entrepreneur wouldn't totally disapprove of his wife moving on with their costar.

"It would certainly catch me by surprise and feel a little reckless," Kyle added. "And I think I'd probably be the last person people would be worried about. I think Ciara would probably have something to say. But if it made Amanda happy, I think I just would have to vote 'yay.'"

See the drama continue to play out when Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

Though the pair hadn’t confirmed their marriage after getting engaged in September 2025, the Bloody Valentine star's husband filed for divorce on Jan. 22, according to documents obtained by multiple outlets. That same day, Jaime revealed that she was "blindsided" by the investor's decision to abruptly end their marriage. 

“I was completely blindsided by the divorce filing, which came out of nowhere,” the actress told Page Six in a statement published Jan. 22. “I was with Austin the night before it became public, and while like many marriages we had normal challenges, I genuinely believed we were working on our relationship.”

Jaime—who shares kids James and Leo with ex Kyle Newman—further shut down any suggestion of infidelity as a cause for the breakup, adding, “Any recent interactions being referenced publicly were strictly professional business meetings and have no connection to this private matter.”
