Amanda Batula and West Wilson were reportedly caught being “extremely flirty” with one another at a New York City bar in February, over a month before confirming their romance with a joint statement.
As Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, 49, shed new light on the timeline of Amanda, 34, and West’s relationship, a leaked photo of the Summer House stars, who struck up a romance behind the backs of her estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, 43, and her best friend, Ciara Miller, 30, was shared on Instagram, as a couple of insiders dished on what took place between them during the outing.
“West and Amanda at Blind Tiger,” read a caption of a post shared by @Brav0Lady on Instagram on March 31.
Along with a photo of Amanda and West, 31, on February 22 at 1:43 p.m., an unidentified source said that they’d seen the couple at the bar on a “massive snow day.”
“They were EXTREMELY flirty with one another touching each others legs when sitting etc. she was also wearing what I assume was his clothes,” the person alleged.
Then, after the photo was shared, a second source reached out to @Brav0Lady, confirming that they, too, were at The Blind Tiger and saw Amanda and West being handsy.
“I’m the girl to the left with the slick back and can confirm! He was straddling her while she stroked his face, we were shook,” wrote the second source.
Meanwhile, Dave spoke out on social media, as well, claiming that he learned about Amanda and West’s romance from Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, 26, at the Super Bowl, which was held on February 8.
“Yawn. Chickenfry told me this at the [Super Bowl]. Old news,” he wrote in a March 31 message shared on X.

As Summer House fans may recall, West actually sparked rumors of a rekindling with Ciara, whom he dated amid season eight, at the event as the two were seen hanging out with friends.
