West Wilson said Monday, May 25, that he and Amanda Batula are still working on their relationship, offering the clearest on-the-record update yet on a pairing that has drawn plenty of attention since it became public. Speaking on his podcast, Wilson said they are “doing our best,” a short answer that did little to quiet the interest around the Summer House cast members.
He also said being seen in public has become unsettling because of what he and Batula are about to do, adding that there have been too many “stupid” posts online about their relationship. The remarks came as fans kept searching for where things stand between the two after their connection was confirmed in March.
Wilson and Batula have said their friendship turned romantic in February, after a post-brunch outing with cast members that included their first kiss. Wilson said he made the first move, recalling that he looked at Batula and wondered if he was imagining the chemistry or if something real was happening. That account has helped anchor the timeline, even as the relationship has remained a magnet for speculation.
Batula has been even more direct about what she wants cleared up. Backstage at the reunion, she said she was the most nervous she had ever been and was ready to face the chaos and clear everything up. Her point was blunt: there was no affair and nothing malicious, only two people who had feelings for each other when they should not have, and the relationship began after her split from Kyle Cooke.
That is why Wilson’s latest update matters. The public record now shows the pair together from February, confirmed in March, and still trying to make it work at the end of May. What remains unanswered is whether they intend to keep that effort private or keep revisiting the relationship in public as the rumor mill keeps turning.
