Reality TV circles were buzzing after Mia Alario, star of Southern Hospitality, raised questions about the beginning of West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s relationship during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Her comments have reopened debate about when the pair actually began seeing each other and whether timelines offered by the Summer House stars match what insiders remember.
Mia Alario’s claims on live television and why they matter
Alario told Andy Cohen she went on a date with West Wilson last September. She said that, at the time, Amanda Batula had already spent solo time with Wilson — a detail that, if accurate, clashes with the couple’s claim that their romance began in February.

Alario also said Batula told her she had given Wilson dating advice before Alario’s date, which added fuel to the timeline questions. Alario described the conversation as friendly at the moment, but said the memory now feels uncomfortable.
Key moments and alleged encounters that shaped the controversy
- Alario says she dated Wilson in September.
- She claims Batula told her she had pregamed with Wilson at his apartment before that date.
- Wilson and Batula publicly announced their relationship on March 31.
- Wilson has maintained the pair became serious in February and denies any overlap.
What Alario actually shared on WWHL
During the late-night segment, Alario recounted meeting Batula at BravoCon in November. She said Batula casually mentioned the pregaming detail, which Alario initially thought was harmless. Looking back, Alario called the situation messy and said she wants distance from it.
She admitted she enjoyed her date with Wilson, but claimed she had no sense of any deeper situation at the time.
Wilson’s response and his version of the timeline
On his podcast, Wilson pushed back. He emphasized that those involved were single when he and Batula started seeing one another. He told listeners the relationship began to feel serious in February and framed the matter as straightforward.
Wilson insists there was no overlap between previous relationships and the start of his romance with Batula.
Other cast members weigh in: Jesse Solomon and Kyle Cooke
Fellow Summer House castmate Jesse Solomon described moments that raised his own suspicions. He referenced a late-February Miami dinner that excluded him, and an occasion when Batula and Wilson had brunch alone then later ran into others at a bar.
Kyle Cooke, who split from Batula in January, said he would be shocked if the relationship began last summer. He told Page Six he hopes the reunion will clarify the timeline, calling a secret summer affair “diabolical” if true.
Chronology of notable relationships and breakups around the cast

Why the sequence matters to viewers
Reality TV audiences closely track when romances start. Overlapping relationships can create rifts among cast members and drive reunion drama. Fans expect precise details during the Summer House reunion, where many hope questions will be answered.
