Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirmed their romance on Tuesday, but did it begin much earlier than they alluded?
Although the Summer House stars suggested that their “connection” was “very new” when they posted a joint statement on their Instagram Stories, fans are starting to believe otherwise, especially as old images and clips from season 10, which was filmed last summer, continue to resurface on social media.
“West & Jesse comforting Amandas was so cute,” read a caption to a clip of West, 31, and Jesse Solomon, 32, approaching Amanda, 34, after a beach argument with her now-estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, 32.
“How are you? You okay?” West asked her, feeding her a sandwich as Jesse told her they loved her.

After revisiting the scene, one person wrote, “Everyone should buy a case of Loverboy online right now.”
“They were absolutely messing around last summer…you can’t tell me they weren’t. What man feeds a married woman like that? too intimate,” shared another.
“This sandwich bite stuck out to me, too,” replied a third.
Another person admitted, “Watching this when it aired, I just knew something was uppp.”
“How everything makes so much sense now,” someone else agreed.
It was also alleged that Amanda and West “were banging before this season started.”
“She checked out last summer due to West,” another IG user suspected.
Meanwhile, going back into West’s feed, fans took notice of a photo he shared of himself holding Amanda by the neck outside of their Hamptons vacation home.
“Yikes yikes yikes,” one new comment exclaimed.
“[Amanda Batula] by the throat?” asked another.
Others labeled the photo “diabolical” and said, “choking his wife while y’all were cheating is wild work.”
Another clip featured West grabbing Amanda by the waist and included the caption, “Right in front of our faces…”

“[I] hate that she was gaslighting Kyle! That can make you feel crazy. When you know something is true [and] someone keeps saying it isn’t!!” one person commented after seeing West getting handsy with Amanda.
“Even started dressing like him,” another noted.
Other comments on the post said, “West is sooo comfortable being so touchy with someone’s wife at the time damn,” and, “Nope! I clocked this asap it was all over the season!!! 100 percent hooking up all summer.”
Summer House season 10 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
