More details are coming to light regarding the timeline of West Wilson and Amanda Batula‘s relationship.
Summer House costar Jesse Solomon has released a timeline of events (from his perspective) of when he started to think that Wilson, 31, and Batula, 34, were becoming more than just friends.
As Star reported, the couple shocked the Bravoverse when they announced on March 31 that they are in a relationship. Wilson dated Ciara Miller during Season 8 of Summer House, and Batula was previously married to fellow costar Kyle Cooke.
According to Solomon’s timeline, Wilson and Batula went to dinner on February 10 “without” him.
By February 27, a friend told Solomon that Wilson and Batula “seemed into each other” and left a bar together. That same week, Solomon claimed, “word gets back that [Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia]’s telling people they’re hooking up.”
During a February 28 “brunch with the boys,” Solomon claimed that Wilson left “to have another brunch with [Amanda] and friends” but “doesn’t mention” that she was there.
“Later, Kyle and I run into them at a bar,” Solomon wrote in his timeline. “[West and Amanda] are sitting next to each other. A jumps up when she sees us, kisses Kyle on the mouth, I joke ‘I can’t believe you and West are dating?’ – she says ‘West is my boii.’ Kyle and I leave. W, A, and friends all apparently head back to W’s place.”
On March 2, Solomon told costar Lindsay Hubbard that he is suspicious of the pair, to which she said, “no way.” Around that time, Solomon also spoke with Wilson, who said it wasn’t “weird” that he went to see Batula at brunch.

By March 6, Solomon wrote, Miller had become “suspicious too.”
“I call Kyle…he still thinks nothing is going on,” Solomon wrote. “He tells me A’s location was off the morning after we ran into them at the bar. He was supposed to pick up the dogs that morning.”
On March 10, Wilson acknowledged online rumors, but said: “There’s nothing to confirm… It was kinda funny for a day but I’m tired now.”
The following day, Solomon said he had drinks with Batula. “I grill her,” he wrote. “Full denial.”
By March 30, Solomon said, “Rumors spreading, but still believe them that ‘nothing’s true’ based on what they’ve told me. I text W love and support feeling bad for them.”
The following day, Batula and Wilson released their statement saying that they’re dating but added that it was “never our intention to purposely hide anything” and that they needed “a little space to process things privately.”
At the time, “I call West out for lying,” Solomon said. “He’s nonchalant. I ask how long it’s been. ‘A little over a month,’ he says. He tells me he thinks he loves her.”
