To sum everything up from part three, The Hollywood Reporter is breaking down the third and final part of the Summer House reunion.

West and Amanda Say They Didn’t Hook Up in the Summer, But They Did Become Closer
Logo textWilson and Batula confirmed their romance in late March as the final episodes of Summer House season 10 were still airing on Bravo, leaving viewers to watch closer for any breadcrumbs of the beginning of their romance. Both parties claimed during the third part of the reunion that they did not, in any way, shape or form, begin their relationship during the summer of 2025, when season 10 was filmed.
The cast tried to explain to Wilson and Batula that because they had such a close friendship, watching certain moments back hinted at how they could have developed further feelings. Batula made it clear that they were not physically intimate with one another in the summer of 2025; however Wilson gave barely an inch to the claims when he agreed with his cast saying that they grew closer during Summer House season 10 filming.
Kyle Cooke, Batula’s husband whom she’s separated from, raised a valid question that sparked when the romance rumors began swirling — that of Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy claiming he heard they had begun their romance as early as the 2026 Super Bowl. Wilson and Batula insisted this was false, sticking to their earlier story.

West’s Ex Thought They Were in an Exclusive Relationship When His Romance With Amanda Began
Logo textAnother key topic that was discussed during part three of the reunion was Wilson’s relationship with Meija Moreno. The Summer House star had been seeing her for over a year, along with a number of other women, he said, although Miller, Cooke and Lindsay Hubbard argued that Moreno said they were supposed to be in an exclusive relationship.
When asked bluntly by Cooke if he was exclusive with Moreno, Wilson offered, “No, she thought we were.”
Moreno shed light on the timeline of their relationship during a FaceTime call with Miller in part two of the Summer House reunion. There, Moreno said that she and Wilson had been dating since last summer and he called her his girlfriend, and that the bounds of their romance were that they were “not in a public relationship.”
When asked by Miller why Wilson didn’t want to make their relationship public, Moreno said, “He thinks he’ll get fired from the show if he’s in a relationship with someone who’s not in the Bravosphere.”
“The other reason he would use too is, ‘If I bring you into this, obviously that’s putting you in a situation where now people have eyes on you,’” Moreno said. “Also, in hindsight, I’m like, you’re concerned about people maybe pitting me against Ciara if I ever came on the show as your public girlfriend, but you’re very comfortable just dumping me and then all of a sudden popping out the next day in a new relationship with Amanda?”

West and Amanda Have Been Monogamous Since They Released Their Statement
Logo textA major question that was asked (and answered) was the bounds of Wilson and Batula’s new romance — specifically if they are dating only each other. Shockingly (but not actually shockingly), Wilson admitted he had not been monogamous with Batula since they “expressed feelings,” but had been since they released their joint statement on March 31.
Wilson also admitted he felt pressure to make their relationship work, and explained they weighed their options and decided to go for their romance if they felt it would be worthwhile.

West Says He Took a Beta Blocker Pre-Reunion
Logo textHost Cohen asked Wilson the question that many Bravo fans had been wondering online: “No offense, are you on a bunch of beta blockers, or what?”
The stoic nature of Wilson and Batula, specifically their lack of emotion towards the havoc their relationship caused Miller and the rest of the Summer House cast, has been quite polarizing to viewers. Cohen called this out, continuing to ask Wilson, “Because everybody’s so emotional around you, about you and their relationship with you, and you’re like this,” he said, as he waved his hand over his face. “I’m just curious what’s going on? I’m talking to you, [West.]”

“I’m trying to stay composed as much as possible,” Wilson said, before Jesse Soloman reiterated Cohen’s question. “I took a beta blocker, but I don’t know if that’s why I’m not, like, sobbing, but this matters to me,” Wilson responded.

West and Amanda Are Exclusive, But Not in Love
Logo textAnother key question was answered toward the end of part three — are Wilson and Batula in love?
“We are not using the word love right now,” Wilson said as Batula chimed in, “So early.” Wilson added, “It’s been two months, three months.”
Wilson said that he was “very much committed to this relationship,” as Cohen also asked if they could be falling in love. Batula clarified that that’s partly why they took a risk in pursuing their romance.
“That’s the conversations that we’ve had. That’s the reason that I’ve waited,” Batula said as some of her Summer House co-stars started laughing. “You can laugh at me all you want.”
Carl Radke was dumbfounded by Batula, after uncovering so many revelations about Wilson’s dating history and inconsistencies with the truth surrounding his romance with Moreno, still wanting to pursue their relationship.
“And you still wanna be with him, after all this shit, Amanda? Like, you see this behavior: he’s hooking up with four different girls and your former best friend. That’s fucking crazy,” Radke said. “I hear you,” Batula responded.
Cohen asked another valid question to Wilson: “Do you think you are able to give Amanda what she needs in a partner?”
“I am committed to making the effort to do it. I know, again, my history does not say so. But I think if Amanda and I can get back to what our early days were, those were very special days, and days that I…” Wilson said as he was cut off by Cohen, “Your early days, like, six weeks ago?”
“Just like when this relationship was blossoming and we started to feel things,” he said. Earlier, the host also asked Batula if it was worth it, to which she said, “That’s an impossible question to answer in this moment, because I wish I could have both, even though that’s not the case.”

Summer House Season 10 Will Have a Bonus Episode
Logo textJust when you thought that was the end of Summer House’s 10th season, things are about to heat up, as it was revealed during the credits scene that a special episode filmed post-reunion with the cast is in the works.
Entitled Summer House: The Aftermath, the special episode will feature conversations with Hubbard and Batula; Cooke and Wilson; and Miller and Moreno, and will air on June 16 at 9 p.m.
In the teaser for the special, Wilson admits to Cooke that he loves Batula, and he has “for a very, very long time.”
“Three weeks after the emotional reunion taping, Lindsay gives Amanda some tough love while Kyle seeks honesty from West. Ciara meets up with Mieja in-person,” a descriptor for the episode reads.
The Hollywood Reporter unpacked the news Josh Brown, vp of current production for Bravo; Brown told THR that the special episode was “something unexpected that came together at the last minute,” and Cohen was the one who suggested the additional hour.
“Andy comes from news, as he’s often talked about, and I think he feels these are really important conversations in the context of the series,” Brown said. “Sometimes when you cut things too short, you can’t get to the deeper levels. I think viewers will see in watching this bonus episode that we’re able to get to some deeper levels by allowing the conversations to play at longer lengths.”
