Summer House alums Amanda Batula and West Wilson are fully embracing their status as a couple — even without any cameras rolling.
“Amanda and West are still going strong and are very serious,” a source exclusively tells Us. “They know many people doubted them, but they are doing really well and are still super happy.”
The former costars, who went public with their romance in late March, are ready for their next chapter to be out in the open after facing backlash over their relationship. (Amanda, 35, was married to Summer House OG Kyle Cooke before moving on with West, 31, who previously dated their costar and Amanda’s former BFF Ciara Miller.)
“Both of them agree the dust has settled and feel they can be a normal couple now,” the insider says.
Amanda and West have started to show off their romance more and more as the summer has unfolded, including a recent trip to New England.
“They just spent a week in Martha’s Vineyard together, reconnecting and spending quality time,” the source adds.
As the chatter surrounding their relationship has simmered down, Amanda has also managed to maintain a connection with her estranged husband, Kyle, 44. The pair announced their split in January after four years of marriage.
“Amanda and Kyle are getting along fine and are on good terms,” the insider tells Us.
Amanda is “in a better spot mentally” the source adds, explaining that the In the City star has been “more positive recently.”
Us has reached out to Amanda and West’s reps for comment.
Amanda and West sent shockwaves through the Bravoverse earlier this year when rumors surfaced in February that they were hooking up following Amanda’s split from Kyle.
While the pair initially denied the speculation, they eventually confirmed that their platonic friendship had evolved into a romance.
The revelation divided the Summer House cast, with most of their costars backing Kyle and Ciara, 30, who were both kept in the dark about Amanda and West’s budding relationship.
During the season 10 Summer House reunion, which aired in late May and early June, Amanda and West were called out for how they handled the situation — with Ciara calling Amanda a “snake in the grass.”
In a bonus episode titled Summer House: The Aftermath, Amanda and West tried to clarify their relationship timeline. West admitted he and Amanda grew close in summer 2025 but didn’t act on anything until they kissed for the first time in February.
“I haven’t got to the point where I have told her or myself that I’m in love or not. But I do love her and have,” West told Kyle during the special. “I have cared about her for a very, very long time.”
Amid the fallout of their relationship, Us confirmed in June that neither West nor Amanda would be returning for season 11 of Summer House, which is currently filming.
Amanda’s future on the spinoff In the City has not been determined as Bravo has not announced whether the show will be back for a season 2.
“There is still some tension surrounding West,” an insider exclusively told Us in July, noting that “the cast would not be particularly welcoming toward him” if Amanda does return.
The source noted that the stars of In the City, including Summer House OG Lindsay Hubbard, don’t like West “because of what happened with [him and] Ciara.”
The In the City cast are “friends with Ciara and Kyle and have loyalty to them,” the insider added.
Amanda and West, for their part, have been keeping busy this summer, attending multiple weddings together and traveling to Italy.
They have also begun posting photos together on social media, including snaps from their recent trip to Newport, Rhode Island, with a few friends.
“Weenies and martinis,” Amanda captioned an upload on Monday, August 24, which featured several photos with West on a boat wearing matching “Newport” sweatshirts.
