Here's where Ciara and Amanda stand now after shocking betrayal

Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller were long considered one of Summer House’s most solid, low-drama girl duos, the kind of friendship that felt real both on and off screen.

Which is exactly why the Amanda-West romance reveal hit so hard.

With Ciara and West’s history already messy, fans immediately started asking the same question: how did we get here?

To understand why this feels so personal, you have to go back to how close Amanda and Ciara were before everything changed.

Amanda and Ciara’s friendship goes back years

Amanda and Ciara’s bond really does go back years. Ciara joined Summer House in season five, which aired in 2021, and over time, she grew especially close to Amanda, who had already been one of the show’s core cast members.

What started as simple housemate chemistry turned into a genuine off-camera friendship, with the pair regularly appearing together at events, in social content, and in Bravo coverage that leaned into their “bestie goals” energy.

By early 2026, that closeness still seemed very much intact.

Bravo reported in January that Amanda and Ciara had recently attended a Galentine’s-themed Amazon event together, with Amanda calling Ciara “my cici,” and Ciara replying that Amanda was her “favorite Galentine.” That was not giving distant co-stars; that was giving real friendship.

And Amanda herself made it even clearer just weeks before the current drama exploded. She told Marie Claire that Ciara had been a huge source of support during her split from Kyle Cooke, calling her “one of the kindest, most loving, loyal friends” she’s ever had.

Complicating everything, Ciara and West Wilson had their own romantic history after West joined Summer House in season eight.

Their connection became a major storyline, and even in March 2026, Bravo suggested there were still unresolved feelings or at least unfinished conversation between them.

Where do the Summer House stars stand now?

Right now, the clearest answer is: not in a good place. On March 31, 2026, Amanda and West confirmed they are dating, saying their relationship grew out of a long-standing friendship and is “very new.”

But almost immediately, it appeared that Ciara had unfollowed both Amanda and West on social media, which is the kind of move that speaks volumes.

There are also other signs the friendship has fractured.

The US Sun noted that Amanda and Ciara, who had been expected to appear together for promotional content, ended up doing appearances separately as speculation swirled.

PEOPLE said Ciara and other cast members felt blindsided, especially because Amanda and West had publicly downplayed rumours before confirming the romance.

So where do Amanda and Ciara stand now? As of April 1, 2026, there is no public sign that they’ve reconciled, and the most visible evidence points to a real rupture rather than a minor bump in the road.
