Summer House fans are speculating that Amanda Batula is soft-launching a relationship with Aidan Blake after she posted a cryptic video of herself holding hands with a mystery man.
Ahead of the new season, Amanda and her husband, Kyle Cooke, announced their split. Throughout the episodes, the now-former couple opened up about their marital issues. Amanda wasn’t happy with Kyle’s drinking and partying, and at one point, she claimed he slept at a fan’s house.
Now, viewers are speculating that Amanda soft-launched her romance with a man named Aidan Blake. According to fan account @youknownat on Instagram, Amanda recently posted a video of herself holding hands with a mystery man.
A fan commented that the mystery man is not West Wilson (as some theorized at the time).
“It was Aiden Blake!” said the account. “He hung out with them on the snow day as well. He also was on tonight’s episode of [Summer House] at the singles party.”
In Amanda’s video, an unidentified man in a green sweater reached his hand back toward her so she could hold it. You Know Nat then shared a photo of Aidan in what seemed to be the same sweater. Aidan also appears to have the same hairstyle and chain necklace.

Both Amanda and Carl Radke apparently follow Aidan on social media, and Amanda has ‘liked’ several of his recent posts.
On his Instagram bio, Aidan describes himself as someone who’s “having fun in New York City” and enjoys “running, tinned fish, ice cream [and] friends.”
Last month, Amanda and Kyle confirmed their split.
“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” said the exes in a joint statement on Instagram. “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing. It feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time since we’ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter.”
