Kenny Martin, the latest addition to Bravo, is stirring excitement by hinting at the dramatic fallout from Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s unexpected romance on the show In the City.
Before the show’s premiere on Tuesday, May 19, Kenny spoke exclusively to Us Weekly, revealing, “I wasn’t directly involved, but the cameras are definitely rolling again. I didn’t engage much in those conversations, though I heard they were quite intense and heavy.”
While Kenny has chosen to maintain a bit of distance from the drama between Amanda, 34, and West, 31, he has been in touch with Amanda’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, discussing the developments since the couple’s split.
“In my talks with Kyle—he’s been very respectful—I think he has some insights that might have given him a clearer picture in retrospect,” Kenny shared. “I hope they address some of these things during their reunion. Kyle seems protective, but looking back, he probably sees how things add up now. We’ll have to wait and see.”

After four years of marriage, Kyle and Amanda announced their separation in January. By March, whispers began spreading about Amanda’s new relationship with West, who is also the former partner of her best friend and costar, Ciara Miller. Amanda and West confirmed their relationship with a joint statement on March 31.
While the fallout has not been airing on Summer House season 10, Bravo fans are set to get some answers when the reunion airs next week. The network also picked up the In the City cameras to film the scandal’s aftermath.
Kenny told Us that he’s “had conversations” with Amanda since the scandal broke but really wanted to know how Kyle was doing.
“Kyle’s my boy,” Kenny said. “My priority and focus was just making sure that Kyle was and is OK.”
Lindsay Hubbard has a lot going on at the moment. “Girl, we’re busy,” Hubbard, 39, told Us Weekly exclusively while promoting her partnership with Schwarzkopf. “We are really busy these days.” With two reality shows — Summer House and In the City — and her newfound role as a mom to 16-month old daughter Gemma, […]
Kenny’s relationship with Bachelor alum Whitney Fransway will also be showcased throughout In the City — and it’s a lot less scandalous.
“We made the decision — Whitney and I — at one point, where it was like, if we’re going to do this, let’s just put it all out there and be vulnerable,” Kenny said. “Hopefully, it’s received well.”
The show’s trailer, released last month, teased Whitney’s move across the country to be with Kenny.
“She is honestly the most amazing person in the world. She is so awesome,” Kenny gushed. “We had an interesting start to our relationship. We started dating a while ago, but I was going through some personal things with my family. … I wasn’t in the place to be able to have the emotional availability to deal with both.”
Fans will get to see when their relationship “really took off” throughout In the City.
“It was such a natural progression for us. She’s been very patient with me throughout this whole relationship,” he continued. “We’ve done this super organically, and it feels like it’s been on our timeline. Everything has felt right, and something about it makes the foundation feel just 10 times stronger than anything I’ve ever felt.”
In the City premieres on Bravo Tuesday, May 19, at 9:00 p.m.
