Ciara Miller of Bravo's Summer House has broken her silence following the confirmation that her ex-boyfriend, West Wilson, is now dating her close friend and co-star Amanda Batula. The 30-year-old model, attending the Euphoria season three premiere on April 7, offered a succinct update on her well-being to Entertainment Tonight, stating simply, "I'm thriving."
This public appearance marks Miller's first since Wilson, 28, and Batula, 34, addressed weeks of swirling romance rumors with a joint statement on March 31. In their Instagram post, the new couple acknowledged the "complicated relationship dynamics" involved, noting their connection "grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship." They emphasized taking time to process privately before going public, stating, "It was never our intention to purposely hide anything."
The development adds a complex layer to the current tenth season of Summer House, which is airing scenes of Miller and Wilson tentatively exploring a potential reconciliation after their messy 2023 breakup. A recent midseason trailer hinted at renewed tension, showing Wilson admitting to a friend, "It’s hard to ignore the sexual tension," while also expressing fear of hurting Miller again. The teaser culminated with an emotional Miller declaring, "I don't want to keep living like this," after an unseen confrontation.
Batula, who announced her separation from husband Kyle Cooke in January, and Wilson concluded their statement by asking for understanding as they navigate their new relationship, which they claim impacts no one beyond themselves as a couple. Miller's brief but pointed "thriving" comment serves as her first direct response to the situation that intertwines friendship, past romance, and reality television drama.
