<p id=”par-2_18″>After a period of speculation, Batula and Wilson shared a post revealing that they were <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/amanda-batula-west-wilsons-joint-statement-grossed-summer-house-fans.html/”>in a relationship</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-3_61″>“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” the statement began. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_50″>They noted that their romantic connection “grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship.” They also expressed regret to anyone they may have hurt with their relationship. Notably, however, they did not directly apologize to Batula’s ex-husband, Kyle Cooke, or her close friend, Ciara Miller. Miller <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/amanda-batula-claimed-cut-west-wilson-fing-second-ciara-miller-asked.html/”>was previously involved</a> with Wilson.</p>
<p id=”par-5_55″>“As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless,” they concluded. “We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_12″>The statement sparked immediate backlash from the cast and the show’s fans.</p>
