The stars of Summer House issued a joint statement on Tuesday, confirming their budding romance after weeks of speculation. This announcement prompted insiders to reveal how Ciara, 30, and Amanda’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, 43, are reacting to the news. Additionally, co-star Mia Calabrese, 34, unfollowed the new couple on social media, signaling her support for Ciara.
“Ciara is heartbroken by this,” an insider shared with Us Weekly on March 31. “She and Amanda were very close, and this situation has left her feeling more betrayed than ever by both of them.”
The report suggests that Ciara’s sense of betrayal is particularly intense because she and West, 31, had recently been exploring the possibility of rekindling their relationship.
According to the report, the betrayal felt “deeper” to Ciara because she and West, 31, were “casually seeing each other and seeing if things would work out again recently.”
“Ciara cut off both Amanda and West after finding out,” a second source shared. “She’s furious at West but even more hurt by Amanda. ‘Disappointed’ doesn’t even cover it. This is so much more to Ciara than just breaking girl code.”
As Summer House fans may have seen, Amanda, 34, and West posted their statement on their Instagram Stories.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” the statement read. “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.”
“We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” they continued. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
While Amanda and West insisted that they “never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless,” an insider revealed to Page Six that their romance is “not just a hookup.”
The outlet also said that the couple’s castmates, including Ciara and Kyle, are “pissed” and “disappointed.”
TMZ is also adding that Kyle was completely blindsided by all of this. After rumors started swirling about the romance weeks ago, Kyle reportedly asked Amanda and West about it multiple times, and they kept denying it up until this weekend.
Sources say while most of the public’s sympathy has gone to Ciara, Kyle also feels hurt by it all after spending 10 years with Amanda.
Although many have been silent in the hours since Amanda and West’s statement went live, Mia unfollowed them on Instagram and showed support for Ciara on her Instagram Story by sharing a throwback post from Ciara’s past photoshoot with Victoria’s Secret.
