Just hours before Part 1 of the “Summer House” reunion airs, West Wilson and Amanda Batula are already making headlines after being spotted leaving the country together.
Celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi shared a photo Tuesday showing the Bravo stars at the airport before heading to Italy. According to the post, the pair were later seen in Rome at a restaurant called Civico 4.
“Please note this picture is at the airport headed to Italy…” the caption read. “‘Summer House’’s West Wilson and Amanda Batula leave the country ahead of ‘Summer House’ reunion.”
The timing immediately caught fans’ attention online, especially after weeks of speculation surrounding Amanda and West’s friendship following Amanda’s split from Kyle Cooke earlier this year.
The situation has become one of the biggest off-screen talking points surrounding the current season, particularly because Amanda and Ciara Miller were previously considered close friends within the house, consistently having one another’s back. Ciara, meanwhile, famously dated West during Season 8 after the pair’s relationship played out on-camera and eventually ended on a bad note.
Now, with Amanda and West traveling together publicly ahead of the reunion, Bravo fans have plenty to say.
Fans React to Amanda & West Leaving Ahead of Reunion
The comments section quickly filled with reactions after DeuxMoi posted the airport sighting.
“not them literally fleeing the country,” one person wrote.
“Fleeing the country before the reunion airs is so Amanda and [West] coded,” another commenter joked.
“Probably a good idea to leave the country ahead of the reunion,” someone else added.
Others defended the pair and suggested the timing may simply be an attempt to escape the online attention surrounding the reunion rollout.
“This is the smartest thing they’ve done as a couple,” one fan commented.
Another added, “Good for them…”
Some viewers also pointed out that Ciara appears focused on work amid the reunion buzz.
“While they are traveling, Ciara is working. Our girl is booked and busy,” one commenter wrote.
Reunion Already Shaping Up to Be Must-Watch TV
The Italy trip only added more intrigue ahead of Tuesday night’s reunion episode, which Bravo has heavily promoted in recent weeks.
Preview clips for the reunion teased emotional conversations, shifting friendships within the house, and difficult discussions connected to Amanda’s separation from Kyle Cooke. Fans are also expecting fallout connected to West and Ciara’s complicated history after their relationship became one of the defining storylines of Season 8.
Because Amanda and Ciara were once viewed as one of the stronger friendships in the group, viewers have spent weeks speculating about where everyone stands heading into the reunion.
The reunion trailer also hinted at tense cast conversations and emotional moments that could reshape several relationships moving forward.
And now, thanks to one airport photo and a last-minute Italy getaway, fans have even more to talk about before the episode officially airs.
Part 1 of the “Summer House” reunion airs tonight — Tuesday, May 26 — at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
