This just in: Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller remain bestie goals. On Thursday, January 22, the Summer House cast members blessed fans with another inside look at their years-long friendship and booming influencer careers. The pair had recently traveled to Palm Beach, Florida, for an exclusive shopping event celebrating Galentine’s Day — the February 13 holiday recognizing the importance of female bonds.

Amanda posted a series of photos featuring her and Ciara at an Amazon storefront, where they browsed a selection of Galentine’s must-haves.
“So many laughs celebrating Galentine’s Day with [Amazon] and my cici,” Amanda captioned the carousel. “And SO many good gift ideas for the ladies in your life.”
Ciara took to the comments section to declare Amanda her “FAVORITE GALENTINE.”
“We already knew [Amazon] was for the girls, but this night confirmed it,” Ciara captioned a video of the event.

Amanda Batula reflects on “strong female friendships” amid Kyle Cooke split
As part of the retail experience, Amanda spoke to In Style magazine about the importance of Galentine’s Day and maintaining “strong female friendships.” She said the holiday was “all about spending time with her girls,” whether that be “getting glammed up and going out or getting in your cozies and sharing your favorite things.”
The event occurred just days before Amanda confirmed her marital split from Kyle Cooke. The husband and wife, who tied the knot in Summer House Season 6, announced their separation in a joint Instagram statement, insisting the decision was mutual and amicable.
“We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing,” the exes wrote. “It feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time since we’ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter. Amanda & Kyle.”

“This isn’t, like, a big breakup where there’s a smoking gun and there’s a lot of hate,” he said. “There’s absolutely some frustration … I’ve done things, she’s done things. But we’ve got each other’s back[s]. We care about each other. We still love each other.”
Where does Ciara Miller stand with Kyle Cooke?
Back in November, Ciara addressed her friendships with Amanda and Kyle after filming Summer House Season 10. While speaking on a BravoCon 2025 panel, Ciara was asked which of her Hamptons housemates was the “most faithful friend” in the upcoming season.
“I know you and Amanda are close, but give me another [name],” moderator Danny Pellegrino told Ciara.
“You know what? Kyle rides for me till dawn, and I love that,” she replied before alluding to Kyle and Amanda’s marital issues. “Now, I do have a hard time on his side sometimes because I’m battling between him and Amanda, but Kyle does ride or die for me.”
