Amanda Batula clarifies West Wilson relationship timeline

Amanda Batula is addressing the nature of her relationship with West Wilson during his cameo on "In the City," which aired on June 2, 2026. She clarified that Wilson was "my friend" when he appeared alongside Ciara Miller in scenes filmed in October 2025. During this period, Amanda was experiencing marital difficulties with her then-husband, Kyle Cooke.

In a confessional recorded on May 5, 2026, Amanda firmly denied any romantic feelings for West during the October 2025 filming. She explained that both West and Ciara were important friends who supported her through a challenging time with Kyle. The episode showed West and Ciara being supportive as Amanda decided to move out of her home with Kyle.

The article highlighted a moment from the reunion where Ciara claimed Amanda had turned off her phone's location, which contrasts with Ciara's claim that Amanda and West were dating behind her back. Amanda, however, maintained that she had a 'perfect little trio' with West and Ciara.

Amanda also shared that she informed Kyle about moving out on their fourth wedding anniversary, emphasizing they were not divorcing and were not single. The group dynamic showed West and Ciara rekindling their relationship, with West offering Ciara his jacket. Amanda's decision to move out stemmed from frustration with Kyle's behavior, including his late returns home.

Rumors of Amanda and West hooking up surfaced four months after the filming, and the pair confirmed their romance in late March 2026, stating their first kiss occurred in late February 2026. An ex-girlfriend of West's, Dara Levitan, advised Amanda on dating him without consulting Ciara first.
