Mia Alario, known for her role in “Southern Hospitality,” recently stirred the pot regarding West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s relationship timeline. Appearing on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” this past Wednesday, Alario suggested that the romance between the two “Summer House” stars may have begun earlier than publicly stated.
According to Alario, when she went on a date with Wilson in September, he was already spending personal time with Batula. This revelation challenges the couple’s narrative, as they have consistently claimed their romantic involvement began in February.
During her appearance on Cohen’s show, Alario recounted a conversation she had with Batula at BravoCon in November. “Amanda mentioned they got together at West’s apartment before my date,” Alario revealed, reflecting on the moment as a seemingly friendly gesture at the time.
Alario, who is 28, further disclosed that Batula, 34, admitted to offering Wilson some advice prior to their date. This interaction hints at a closer connection between Batula and Wilson than initially believed, possibly rewriting the couple’s relationship history.
Alario, 28, also claimed that Batula, 34, told her she gave the sports journalist “some advice and some tips” before their one and only date.
“I was like, girl, did we get the same tip or what?” Alario said. “Damn. I don’t know.”
Alario explained that in hindsight, she realizes Wilson and Batula’s relationship is “a messy situation.”
“I don’t want any part of that at all,” she insisted.
But Alario did admit that she had “a fun time” with Wilson, 31, on their date, though she noted that she didn’t know his real “morale” at the time.
Since Batula and Wilson went public with their romance on March 31, there’s been speculation about when they really starting fooling around behind everyone’s backs.
On Monday’s episode of his podcast, Wilson insisted that “everyone was single” and “there was no overlap” when the pair got together.
“We realized things were maybe a little bit serious in February, and that’s when this all started,” he explained .”There’s not a whole lot more to it than that.”
Wilson previously dated Batula’s BFF Ciara Miller in 2023, while Batula split from husband Kyle Cooke in January after four years of marriage.
When their co-star Jesse Solomon appeared on “WWHL” on Tuesday, he said there were several instances that made him suspicious of Batula and Wilson, including when they went to dinner without him in Miami in late February.
He also claimed there was a day where Batula and Wilson got brunch alone, and then Solomon and Cooke ran into them at a bar afterwards.
Cooke, 43, told Page Six last week that he thinks it would be “diabolical” if Batula and Wilson were secretly hooking up last summer.
The Loverboy founder also said he wants Batula to clear up the relationship timeline at the upcoming “Summer House” reunion.
“I hope I’m correct at the reunion that this was recent,” Cooke shared.
