The Summer House<\/em> cast was in the dark regarding Amanda Batula<\/strong><\/a> and West Wilson<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s romance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been going on for at least a month and a half, but they kept it completely under wraps,\u201d a source exclusively tells Us Weekly<\/em>. \u201cNo one had a clue, and the cast brushed off the rumors at first. The general consensus was that there was no way it could be true, but as time went on, neither of them denied it, and more evidence started to surface. It left everyone completely shocked.\u201d<\/p>\n

The discourse surrounding Amanda, 34, and West, 31, began in early March when celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi reported that they are dating. The report came two months after Amanda separated from husband Kyle Cooke<\/strong> after four years of marriage.<\/p>\n

The dating rumors reportedly caused tension with Amanda\u2019s best friend Ciara Miller<\/strong>, who dated West in 2023.<\/p>\n
