Kyle Cooke Says West Had a Serious Girlfriend in Summer House Reunion Showdown

Summer House dropped the first look at the season 10 reunion, and yeah, it ’s exactly the kind of mess you were expecting. The clip premiered at the NBC upfronts on Monday, May 11, and pretty much everyone is pointing their finger at West Wilson.

The reunion tease, in short

• Kyle Cooke lays it out to Ciara Miller, Carl Radke, Mia Calabrese, and Ben Waddell: he’s most focused on what he calls West’s ease of lying. Kyle is 43; West is 31.
• Ciara, 30, drops a bomb and says West had a girlfriend the entire time. Kyle backs her up and says the relationship has been exclusive since February 2025. His words: they have receipts.
• As the teaser fades to black, Mia slips in a perfectly dry "Can’t wait."

How we got here

This is the first official footage after those reunion audio clips leaked in April. Bravo investigated and says they’ve ID’d who leaked them. So now we get the real thing, on purpose, with cameras and context.

Amanda and West: the reveal that set the house on fire

To make West’s reunion even spicier, he’s not just answering for on-screen drama. He and Amanda Batula, 34, confirmed in late March that they’re dating after weeks of denying rumors. Yes, you read that right. Amanda was previously married to Kyle. And West dated Ciara - one of Amanda’s best friends - for a few months back in 2023. It’s a lot.

"We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. It was never our intention to purposely hide anything."

That was the gist of Amanda and West’s joint message when they went public. Translation: they know it looks bad, they say it wasn’t a cover-up, and they’re trying to get ahead of it.

West, in his own words

On the May 5 episode of his Show Me Something podcast, West didn’t pretend everything is fine. He says he hurt friends, filming the reunion was brutal, and he’s trying to own it and move forward.

"These are my friends, and I’ve caused a lot of damage, which f***ing sucks."

He called reunions the darkest form of therapy because you don’t usually get that much blunt feedback on how your choices hit other people. His goal now, per his chat with cohost Sophie Cunningham, is simple: be better. Not catchy, but fair.

The road ahead

Bravo hasn’t dropped the full reunion yet, but it’s set to air later this month. Given the accusations, the receipts talk, and that tangled Amanda-West-Kyle-Ciara history, West’s hot seat is about to be a bonfire.
