Summer House’s Jesse Solomon isn’t sure what the future holds for West Wilson and Amanda Batula.
“I have no idea if they’re going to make it,” Jesse, 32, shared on the Wednesday, April 22, episode of the “Not Married to This” podcast. “I haven’t seen enough of the relationship up close. I mean, I think she’s five years older than him. I keep saying it on the show. I don’t think he’s ready for a relationship. But it does seem like he really likes her.”
Last month, West, 31, and Amanda, 34, shocked their costars and fans when they confirmed they were dating.
As the duo prepare to answer some tough questions from their colleagues — including Amanda’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, and her ex BFF Ciara Miller — during the Summer House season 10 reunion, podcast cohosts Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt wondered if all the drama will be worth it.
“Will it be worth it if they make it? I guess,” Jesse said. “I think Kyle would wish them well. I think Ciara said on a red carpet, she was like, ‘I think you’ve got to get married.’ Maybe even she would support it, but who knows.”
For now, Jesse is trying to be supportive of all his friends and not be too critical of any decision made in the past.
He was quick to praise West and Amanda for being encouraging of his growing music career.
At the same time, the “What Would Jesse Solomon Do?” singer couldn’t help but recall when he started developing feelings for Ciara, 30. The respect and admiration for the future Dancing With the Stars contestant never went away.
“Ciara is an amazing person, and she is smart and ambitious and funny and obviously beautiful,” he said. “Anybody would really be lucky to date her. It’s just kind of a big step in the Summer House to pursue things romantically, and I went about it in a real flippant manner and that was stupid.”
As Jesse continues traveling across the country as part of his Happy to Be Here Tour, the Bravo star is trying his best not to get involved in any relationship drama of his own. Instead, his focus is on other aspects of his life.
“Dating is good. I’m not really doing it as much,” Jesse revealed. “I’m trying to take a step back, work on myself, focus on music and only date people that I see a future with.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Stream past episodes anytime on Peacock.
