West Wilson has been sharing his life with Bravo viewers since he joined Summer House. West joined the Hamptons-set Bravo show in Season 8, the same season that Jesse Solomon, who is also currently on the cast, joined the show.
In his first season, West was navigating changes in his career as well as the dynamics of his dating life, as was the focus on his Season 8 cast bio, which noted that West is “a 28-year-old sports journalist, West Wilson was introduced to the group through Lindsay [Hubbard], whom he met out one night in the city. After being laid off during a mass staff change, he is on the hunt for the next opportunity. When it comes to dating, West’s biggest hurdle is being able to commit. As he turns on his Midwestern charm and quickly focuses his attention on a fellow housemate, will this be his chance to push himself to take things past the casual dating stage?”
Take a closer look at West’s Summer House journey since he joined in Season 8.

West’s second season took place in Season 9. In Summer House Season 9, his bio read: “Unsure of where he stands with a few of his housemates, West enters this summer determined to have a good time. As he finds himself navigating the pressures of a new job and sharing a house with his ex who wants nothing to do with him, he’s thankful to have his best friend, Jesse, to help him navigate his dating life, but will Ciara’s lingering feelings make it too difficult?”
West is currently appearing as a cast member on the current season of the Bravo show. His Summer House Season 10 bio reads: “With his sports media career taking off, West is determined to rally the house for a fun and more connected summer. He’s ready to date again and prioritize his happiness as he moves into his first solo apartment. Will West be able to confidently date in front of his housemates, or will he find himself retreating into a shell when things get complicated?”

West Wilson and Amanda Batula release a statement addressing relationship speculation
Amid Season 10 airing, West Wilson and Amanda Batula released a statement addressing speculation about their relationship in a joint statement on March 31, in which they confirmed their “connection.”
Amanda and West wrote on Instagram Stories at the time, “We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
“We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” the statement continued. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care. As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”

“I don’t regret bringing West because he was the best cast member on Summer House as of like two months ago until all of a sudden he was the worst,” she said, referencing the current drama involving West following him and Amanda confirming their relationship. “So I can’t go off what fans are telling me to feel. He was a good cast. Until he wasn’t.”
