West Wilson said he and Amanda Batula are still working on their relationship after a late May trip to Italy for his cousin’s wedding, offering the clearest update yet on where things stand between them. On June 5, he said he brought Batula as his date and handled the flights and hotels for the trip.
That is why are amanda and west still together is back in focus now: Wilson gave a fresh, dated answer on his podcast, and it came after weeks of public attention around the pair. He said he had gone to Italy with Amanda, joking that people online acted as if they were “fleeing the country,” when in reality his cousin got married and he simply went with her.
Wilson also said the trip was not some mystery expense. He said he took care of the flights and the hotels, while Batula probably covered a restaurant meal. He added that he grew up in a house where his family split the bills, a detail that made the talk sound less like a glossy relationship rollout and more like two people still figuring out how to do this in public.
That public piece matters because Wilson said going out with Batula still feels scary when the internet is full of “stupid” posts about them. He had already said on May 25 that they were doing their best with the relationship, and the June 5 comments did not close the door on that uncertainty. Instead, they showed a couple trying to keep moving after first confirming in late March that they were seeing each other.
They have already shown up together before, including at the Summer House Season 10 reunion, and they had also spent time together in New York before the Italy trip. But Wilson’s latest remarks stop short of a clean declaration that everything is settled. The answer for now is that they are still together enough to travel, appear in public and keep trying — just not far enough along to make the rumors disappear.
