West Wilson is addressing the buzz surrounding his recent trip to Italy with Amanda Batula, dispelling rumors that the getaway was an attempt to dodge the Summer House season 10 reunion.
“I saw all the chatter about our Italy trip being an escape, just because Amanda and I went for a wedding,” West, 31, humorously remarked on the Friday, June 5 episode of his “Show Me Something” podcast.
The Bravo personality assured listeners that the speculation arose before people realized the trip was for a family celebration.
“To the person who snapped our picture in the customs line at the Rome airport, I know exactly what you look like—a blonde woman,” West quipped. “It’s just us with our backpacks; it’s ridiculous.”
He further explained, “My cousin was getting married, so that’s why I went.”
Instagram gossip account DeuxMoi shared the photo of West and Amanda at the airport on May 26 along with a second message claiming that the couple were spotted at a restaurant in Rome.
West continued to address rumors about the trip on Friday after eagle-eyed fans appeared to clock that Amanda had taken out her credit card and paid for one of their meals in Italy.
“That’s f***ing crazy, they watched her use her credit card?” West said. “I handled the flights and the hotels, motherf***ers. How’s that sound?”
He added, “I grew up in a house where my family split the f***ing bills.”
West and Amanda’s Italy trip came as the Summer House season 10 reunion began airing on May 26. The pair found themselves in the hot seat for most of the reunion after details about their relationship were revealed.
Summer House stars West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s relationship is still going strong — even with the public backlash. “West and Amanda are still dating,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, revealing that “the cast doesn’t think they’re going to last.” Despite their costars’ doubts about the romance, West, 31, and Amanda, 34, are moving […]
West and Amanda released a joint statement on March 31 confirming that they are dating. Amanda was previously married to fellow Summer House costar Kyle Cooke, while West dated her best friend Ciara Miller in 2023.
While they’re officially back in America, photos and videos from West and Amanda’s recent trip abroad have continued to go viral.
DeuxMoi posted another photo on Friday which showed West and Amanda dining in Sicily, Italy. One image showed Amanda seemingly spitting into West’s open mouth. He backed away shortly after.
Fans have had a lot of thoughts about West and Amanda’s romance, but actor Jerry O’Connell — a huge Bravo fan — shared a different take last month.
“I am about to get eviscerated,” he wrote in the comments section of the airport photo. “What if these kids make it? Also, kinda want to go to a watch party in LA, for reunion. Anyone have info? I will also go to someone’s house/apt and bring White Claws.”
