Ciara Miller apparently thought she had something special with West Wilson just mere months before he started dating Summer House costar Amanda Batula.
“As weird as it is, I do feel like he is my person,” Ciara, 30, tells BFF Mia Calabrese in a Friday, April 24, preview for the next episode of Summer House. “We have this really weird friendship, and it’s hard to ignore that, you know?”
Ciara and West, 31, casually dated in 2023 but broke up when the sports journalist struggled to balance his relationship with his then-newfound Bravo fame. As the cameras rolled on Summer House season 10, Ciara and West mulled giving their romance another shot.
“Everyone knows that I’m not the most warm and fuzzy person. I am warm. I might not be fuzzy, but I’m warm,” Ciara said via confessional in the teaser clip. “I guess making up isn’t really my thing, but I’m trying to be less rigid, which is a theme of my summer, OK?”
Elsewhere in the trailer, Ciara and Kyle Cooke called Amanda, 34, while she was away and revealed that West had “the best night” in the Hamptons in her absence.
“When West said, ‘Best night of my life’ and you said, ‘Damn,’ was that, like, sarcasm?” Kyle asked, to which Amanda explained her reaction was “like way to rub salt in the wound.”
“So, she was feeling jealous,” Kyle added. “West’s best night of his life was the one night I’m not there? Yeah, that feels great.”
Months after the cast wrapped season 10 in summer 2025, West confirmed that he was seeing Amanda amid her separation from estranged husband Kyle.

“While this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. It was never our intention to purposely hide anything,” Amanda and West said in a joint March 31 statement. “Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
The pair continued, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
Ciara, meanwhile, felt blindsided that her good friend Amanda was seeing her ex. (Us Weekly also confirmed earlier this month that Ciara and West hooked up at the start of the year.)

“I read [their statement] with the rest of the world. There’s something about the lack of being able to say each other’s names in the statement that I found very telling, but I don’t know,” Ciara told Glamour in an April profile. “It’s one thing to experience hurt behind closed doors. To experience it so publicly is like another layer, and then to have to see what you thought was your life still play out in season 10. It’s a major mindf***.”
Ciara Miller is still sorting through her feelings after longtime friend Amanda Batula started seeing her ex-boyfriend, and their Summer House costar, West Wilson, earlier this spring. “Ciara has told friends that if they really are in love, she will accept it,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, noting that if West, 31, and Amanda, […]
Ciara reunited with West and Amanda during the reunion, which was filmed on Thursday, April 23. Footage of the trio’s confrontation was leaked within hours.
“This represents a serious breach of trust and a clear lack of respect for the cast, crew, and the integrity of the production process,” a Bravo spokesperson told Us on Friday. “We take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation and we will take appropriate action based on our findings.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
