“Summer House” stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson just confirmed that
the rumors about their secret relationship are true.

The couple shared a joint statement to Instagram on Tuesday, noting
that they never expected something like this to happen.

“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very
new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” the reality stars posted to
Stories.

“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. 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 statement 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.”

Batula and Wilson said their friendship developed into something more,
and they opted to take the public reveal slowly.

“As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly
what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact
beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be
perceived as careless,” the social media update went on.

Making matters especially complicated is the fact that Batula separated
from her husband, fellow “Summer House” star Kyle Cooke, in January
after four years of marriage, as Page Six noted. Wilson used to date
Batula’s best friend Ciara Miller, who also appears on the popular
Bravo series.

Several “Summer House” co-stars have shown their support for Miller in
the wake of the scandal. Miller hasn’t released a public statement, but
she did unfollow both Batula and Wilson on Instagram, the outlet noted.

The news comes as Season 10 of “Summer House” airs on Bravo, marking
the tenth season for Batula and the third for Wilson.

“Summer House” follows a group of friends who share a house together on weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The reunion special,
moderated by Andy Cohen, is coming up in a few weeks and promises to be especially dramatic in light of these new revelations.
