The Relationship Sparked Months of Drama
Since confirming their romance on March 31, Amanda and West have faced intense online backlash from fans and castmates. The controversy stems from the fact that West previously dated Ciara Miller, who is Amanda’s friend. Amanda also just announced a split from her husband Kyle Cooke in January after four years of marriage.
West went public on his podcast to defend the timeline, stating there was absolutely no overlap between relationships. He emphasized that everyone was single when feelings developed in February, emphasizing the guilt he carries for his actions hurting people he cares about.
Reunion Details Reveal the Seating Drama
The Season 10 reunion taping took place on April 23 at the New York City location. Bravo confirmed some noteworthy seating arrangements that made headlines. Amanda sat next to West directly in prime position, while Ciara Miller sat in an equally coveted first chair on the opposite side.

“That’s the hardest part of this whole situation is my actions have hurt people that I care about, but the reunion is coming up and I can give those apologies face-to-face and also clear up all of the crazy stuff that’s been on the internet.”

Public Displays and PDA Are Ramping Up
Since going public with their romance, Amanda and West have stepped out on multiple dates across New York City. The couple was caught making out at Emmett’s restaurant during a double date on April 11, with Amanda allegedly hiding under her sweater to avoid attention.
Most recently, they turned heads at a New York Yankees game on April 17, where they were caught by the kiss cam exchanging an affectionate moment. Their public display prompted Kyle Cooke to react on Threads, saying he was not prepared to see that footage on the Summer House chat.
Will the Reunion Episode Settle All the Speculation?
Bravo is investigating leaked audio from the reunion taping, with producer Andy Cohen calling the leak disgusting and illegal. The Season 10 reunion is expected to air in May 2026, and nearly every cast member except newcomer Mia Calabrese appeared emotionless upon arrival, suggesting significant tension.
Both Amanda and West are expected to address the full scope of their relationship, timeline details, and the impact on friendships. Ciara Miller previously told Glamour she feels disregarded and disrespected by Amanda’s actions, calling the situation a major mind-bending moment. The reunion promises to be intense, with Andy Cohen reportedly describing it as one of the most intense gatherings he’s filmed.
