Amanda Batula Spotted Out, West Wilson Chats With Women in NYC

A pair of Manhattan nights pushed Amanda Batula and West Wilson back into the gossip cycle, but the least dramatic detail mattered most: sources said the couple was still together. Batula was photographed at Bar Pisellino in Greenwich Village on Friday evening, May 8, 2026, drinking with a friend and appearing deeply engaged in conversation.

The separate sightings became a fresh example of how ordinary nightlife gets recast as relationship drama. Wilson had been out the night before, after a kickball game, at a Lower East Side bar where eyewitnesses said he chatted with several women. The images and eyewitness accounts quickly fed speculation, even as sources close to the pair said there was no breakup and no split to explain.

Batula and Wilson publicly confirmed their romance in a joint Instagram statement on March 31, 2026, calling the relationship “very new” and saying they had taken time to process it privately because of the scrutiny that comes with reality television and their “complicated relationship dynamics.” At the time, Batula was in her tenth season on Summer House and Wilson was in his third. Batula and Kyle Cooke had announced their separation in January 2026 after marrying in 2021.

Wilson later addressed the timeline on his podcast, saying he and Batula got together only after everyone involved was single. He said things became “maybe a little bit serious” in February 2026 and that he planned face-to-face apologies at the reunion. That sequence has kept the relationship under pressure on and off screen, with each public outing treated like a clue rather than a simple night out in New York.

The fallout has extended beyond Batula and Wilson. U.S. Magazine reported that Ciara Miller remained upset and was not speaking to Wilson, while Kyle Cooke publicly criticized Wilson over the impact the romance had on Batula and the rest of the cast. Bravo’s spinoff In the City was expected to address the consequences as the franchise continued to blur the line between private relationships and televised plotlines.
