Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s “Summer House” co-stars are reeling over the new couple’s romance bombshell, Page Six has learned.
A source connected to the situation told us shortly after news broke that their castmates — including Wilson’s ex Ciara Miller and Batula’s ex Kyle Cooke — are both “pissed” and “disappointed” in them.
Our insider said the general vibe is “Team Ciara,” who previously dated Wilson and is navigating unresolved feelings for him on the currently airing 10th season of the Bravo reality show.
Notably, the model and Batula were best friends — until recently. Miller, 30, has since unfollowed both Batula and Wilson on Instagram.
On Tuesday, Batula, 34, and West, 31, issued a joint statement confirming their secret “connection” following weeks of speculation and mounting evidence.
Their co-star Lindsay Hubbard was quick to shade the statement via her Instagram Story. “The new publicist?” she wrote atop a photo of “Love Is Blind” Season 10 villain Alex Henderson.
Also on the current season of “Summer House,” fans are watching the deterioration of Batula and Cooke’s four-year marriage. They announced their separation in January.
Cameras captured Miller — and Wilson — having Batula’s back as she navigated her relationship struggles.
The Amanda Batula Swim founder praised both Miller and Wilson for their support in a March 3 interview with Marie Claire. Two days later, Deuxmoi reported that Batula and Wilson were spotted being “openly flirty, allegedly even holding hands under the table” at an event in New York City.
At the time, neither publicly denied the chatter.
Then when the topic came up during Wilson’s appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” last week, he twice noted that Batula is “single” and added, “I kinda gotta show her the streets, you know? If it’s not clear, that’s a very important person to me, and I, like, care about her a lot.”
He called her “a friend” when pressed further.
Meanwhile, Batula recently agreed with an Instagram user who theorized that she would “never date” Wilson because he’s “a safe boy bestie.”
As for Cooke, he told Cohen on a March 10 episode of “WWHL” that he doesn’t “think there’s any merit” to speculation that his estranged wife is seeing his pal.
The Loverboy founder, 43, admitted it would “catch [him] by surprise” but that “Ciara would probably have something to say” about it if it turned out to be true.
One minute before Batula and Wilson posted their shocking statement, Miller was photographed slumped over on a NYC sidewalk being comforted by an unidentified male companion.
