Summer House’s West Makes Bold Confession About Future With Amanda
West Wilson has delivered his summertime swansong.
One day after it was reported that the sports journalist would be exiting Summer House after three seasons, West made his final appearance on the show in the post-season 10 reunion Aftermath special.
During the June 16 special—which was filmed May 20—the fallout over West and Amanda Batula’s relationship continued, with him having a candid sit-down with Amanda’s estranged husband Kyle Cooke. Upon arriving at Kyle’s apartment, a defeated West acknowledged his "time on camera is over," pointing to the brutal three-part reunion that saw him and Amanda grilled by their castmates—including his ex Ciara Miller.
"The processing and slowing down and letting it all sink in didn't really happen until the last two weeks," West admitted. "I get why my word now is discredited in a lot of regard. But I am here today to have an honest conversation with you."
Kyle didn't hold back in his response, pointing out how the 31-year-old led Ciara on while pursuing Amanda, who is still legally married to the Loverboy founder amid their ongoing divorce. Despite all the hurt and deception West caused in the friend group, he insisted his romance with Amanda is the real thing.
"I'm not gonna be able to sit here on this couch right now and be able to convince you that I'm this changed, perfect person overnight," he confessed. "But I can tell you my relationship with Amanda is the first time I've come from a steady three-year friendship where there's nothing performative about it. Nothing's trying to prove anything."
"I regret so many f--king things, but the one thing I cannot regret is my feelings for Amanda and caring for her," West continued. "I can't apologize for it because it happened."
When Kyle—who confirmed he and Amanda had ended their four-year marriage in January—asked West if he's ready to settle down and finally be in a committed, monogamous relationship, he confirmed, "Yeah, I do."
But does West love Amanda?
"I mean, yeah," he told Kyle. "I really care about her a f--king ton."
And while West acknowledged, "It's hard to say that right to your face," he added, "I hope and I am looking forward to the way I do care and will treat Amanda to lighten the f--king worry you have or the thought that this is just a f--king joke and I don't care about anybody. But that takes time."
While West was coming clean to Kyle, Amanda had her own emotional heart-to-heart with Lindsay Hubbard, who demanded more answers from the couple after the explosive reunion taping. Amanda confessed the attention she received from West amid her breakup from Kyle helped her out of a deep depression.
And, similar to West's admission, Amanda confirmed they have talked seriously about their future together.
"I knew the severity and gravity of the situation," the 34-year-old told Lindsay. "I was like, 'If you really care about me, if what you're saying is true, if this is how you actually feel, this couldn't be casual. You'd have to see a future. You'd have to know I would want to have kids soon.'"
She added, "We haven't talked about having kids, but we've had these conversations."
Still, when all was said and done, Amanda admitted to feeling dumb for how she and West handled everything, to which Lindsay offered one final, hard-to-swallow piece of advice.
"To be honest, you should feel stupid," the 39-year-old shot back. "And the only way to save yourself in this moment is to separate from yourself from the sinking ship that West is. Be the Rose on the Titanic. Let go of the hand. He's gotta go."
Amanda's reply? "I know."

After the longtime friends sparked romance rumors in 2026, they ultimately confirmed their feelings had "evolved." The confirmation proved especially messy, given Amanda's best friend Ciara Miller dated west for several months before a messy 2023 breakup.
"What’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected," the pair wrote in a joint statement in March 2026. "Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care."
Status: Married
Sure, the show probably had to move houses this season after comedian couple Hannah and Des decided it would be funny to have sex in Kyle and Amanda's bathroom, but at least they're the ones who are still together.
After two years of dating, the pair tied the knot in 2022 in a beachside wedding and trust—the comedians have a ton of fun together.
"He lets me be me, and we laugh together," Hannah mused to People shortly after the pair's 2021 engagement. "I make him laugh, and he makes me laugh."
As she put it, "I really just fell in love with how his mind works. And I really listen to his advice, and I really just respect him."
Status: Separated
While this couple's long, winding romance was one that every Summer House fan couldn't help but root for, it ultimately came to an end in January 2026 when the pair announced their separation after four years of marriage and nearly 10 years together.
“I don't think anything can kind of prepare you for a big public breakup,” Kyle admitted during a Bravo conversation at the 92NY that month, per People. "But I think that more important than anything is just making sure that Amanda is good, and it's just been amazing having her support, because it is not easy.”
While they haven't filed for divorce just yet, Amanda went on to confirm a budding romance with West in March 2026.

It might have been on-again-off-again since their start in 2022, but West and Ciara might finally be done for good after their latest breakup. After all, West confirmed a relationship with Ciara's BFF Amanda in March 2026.
But while West and Ciara confirmed their separation ahead of Summer House season 10 premiering in February 2026, Ciara had teased they may have picked things up again, admitting in episode seven that there was some "attraction" between them.

While this Southern Charm-Summer House pair appeared to be going the distance after getting together in 2021, they ultimately called it quits in 2024.
"I have so much love and respect for Craig," Paige said during an episode of Giggly Squad in 2024. "I think he is one of the best people I have ever met in my entire life. I will remain the biggest fan of him and want the best for him and he truly will get the best because he is the best."
As she put of the split, "It was just the right decision for both of us moving forward in our lives and the direction in our lives that we didn’t force."

Simultaneously the best and worst example of modern dating. While their will-they-or-won't-they was one of season four's most compelling storylines, their whatevership nearly destroyed the house the following summer. It's still shocking to remember these two were almost couple goals back in 2020.
Thankfully for everyone, Des slid into Hannah's DMs in 2020, and Luke went on to have a brief romance with Ciara and then Tayshia Adams—though the pair split in 2025.

While the season 10 newbies both started out summer 2025 single and ready to mingle, they quickly found themselves in a committed relationship that is going strong to this day.

Carl Radke has a history of bad decisions and many of those went down during his time hooking up with the single Wirkus sister, who clearly wanted more from him than he was willing to give. Hell hath no fury like a twin betrayed who has a protective doppelganger.
But while the duo went their separate ways for good in 2018, Carl took full accountability for their fallout.
"I chalk that up to a lot of just immaturity on my end," Carl told The Daily Dish in 2019. "Also, I think, just my communication skills with her, I struggled really to be honest with how I felt."
Status: Friends
As an OG Summer House pair—literally entering the house in 2017 as a couple—Lindsay and Everett certainly get points for somehow managing to maintain a friendship after their tumultuous relationship.
Everett tied the knot with Courtney Cavanagh in 2023 and proving the friendly exes theory, Lindsay was present at their Ireland wedding.

While painful to watch back in 2021, Ciara and Luke managed to build a—somewhat strained—friendship after their brief dalliance, which brought Ciara into the Summer House mix.
Ciara had an on-again-off-again romance with West until 2026, when they appeared to break up for good.

This pairing mostly happened off-screen in 2020, as Paige's boyfriend of one year all but refused to be on-camera. The Giggly Squad host went on to begin dating Craig Conover a year later, before they ultimately split in 2024.
Perry, meanwhile, appeared to have gotten engaged in 2023, according to his Instagram.
Status: Broken Up
After a flirtation in the earliest episodes of Summer House, the pair ultimately stayed friends until confessing feelings at Kyle and Amanda's 2021 wedding, kicking off a whirlwind romance.
By 2022, the former couple moved in together and Carl proposed to Lindsay later that same year. And although a wedding date was set for 2023, the couple never made it to the altar, with Carl calling off the wedding.
"I was completely blindsided," Lindsay told US Weekly at the time. "He blew up my entire life. I was crying, I was angry, and I had to find closure on my own. Now I’m at a place where I feel really good about moving on."
Months after their breakup, Lindsay announced she was pregnant, welcoming Gemma with then-boyfriend Tanner Kufe, in 2024.

While this couple was every Summer House fan's unproblematic faves, they ultimately went their separate ways in 2023. Initially, Danielle said they ended things "amicably" but things changed when she saw how quickly Robert moved on.
"He's with someone he works with, and someone I had called out during our last breakup conversation and he told me I was crazy," Danielle told The Daily Dish in 2023. "Women's intuition, every time."
Danielle has since gone public with new boyfriend, tech entrepreneur Eoin Heavey.
Status: Friends
This couple's 2018 romance was so brief, it's almost unbelievable they ever dated. Despite any drama that occurred at the time, they had a clean break—with Carl even grieving Paige's 2025 Summer House departure.
"I love Paige," Carl told E! News at the time. "We're sad to see her not be a part of it, but understanding that she had a lot going on this summer."
Status: Broken Up
This was never going to last, as Lindsay was always going to eat Stravy alive long before he was finally able to make her that sandwich. Though their romance flamed out in 2021 after about two years together, Summer House fans will always have his season five PowerPoint presentation.
