“Summer House” star Amanda Batula is addressing the support she received from castmate West Wilson as fans continue speculating about their relationship.
Recent online chatter suggested the Bravo stars could be romantically involved following Batula’s split from fellow “Summer House” star Kyle Cooke. The speculation began after celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi shared a claim from an anonymous source.
“You might have already heard (because word’s spreading) that Amanda Batula and West Wilson are allegedly hooking up,” DeuxMoi wrote in the caption of the post. “Why’s everyone talking? Apparently, they’re telling people! Sources say it’s casual.”
The account also claimed the pair were seen interacting closely at a recent event.
“Still, at a recent event, they were openly flirty, allegedly even holding hands under the table, with Kyle, Amanda’s ex-husband, right there,” the post continued.
Neither Batula nor Wilson has directly confirmed the claims. Although Batula did post on her Instagram stories, “&for the lady, perhaps a (expletive) break?”
Amanda Batula Praises West Wilson’s Support During ‘Summer House’ Season
While Batula has not addressed the rumors directly, she recently spoke about Wilson during an interview with Marie Claire.
Batula described Wilson as one of the people who supported her during filming for season 10 of “Summer House.”
“It’s also meant so much to me how supportive West has been throughout the season, sometimes in ways I wasn’t even aware of when filming,” Batula said.
She continued by describing Wilson’s actions during difficult moments with Cooke.
“It’s not performative; it’s just really authentic to who West is,” Batula said. “He checks Kyle and puts him in his place, and you’ll continue to see him be there for me throughout the season.”
Batula also credited her close friendship with castmate Ciara Miller—and Wilson’s ex-girlfriend/possible current girlfriend—for helping her through the season.
“She is one of the kindest, most loving, loyal friends I’ve ever had,” Batula said of Miller. “She sends me texts out of the blue, reminding me how strong, powerful, smart, and kind I am.”
Batula added that the support from friends helped her focus on herself during filming.
“I could have spent the whole time spiraling with him, but I chose to find my own happiness on the weekends with people who love and support me,” Batula said.
Amanda Batula Linked to Influencer Aidan Blake
In addition to rumors about Wilson, Batula has also been linked to influencer Aidan Blake.
Fans began speculating about the connection after Batula posted a video on February 25 that showed her holding hands with a man whose identity was not immediately clear.
According to the Instagram fan account @youknownat, the mystery man was Blake.
“It was Aidan Blake!” the account wrote. “He hung out with them on the snow day as well. He also was on tonight’s episode of ‘Summer House’ at the singles party.”
In Batula’s post, the man wearing a green sweater reached his hand back toward her while they walked together. The fan account later shared a photo of Blake wearing what appeared to be the same sweater.
Blake’s Instagram bio describes him as someone who enjoys “running, tinned fish, ice cream [and] friends” while “having fun in New York City.”
Batula and fellow “Summer House” cast member Carl Radke both follow Blake on social media, and Batula has liked several of his recent posts.
Fans can catch all the action from last summer when new episodes of “Summer House” air Tuesdays on Bravo.
