During the walk, the two shared a hug. Naturally, the timing is quite interesting considering that Amanda and West literally shared a joint statement on Instagram informing fans of the show about dating each other, in which they called their relationship “very new.” As a reminder, Amanda and Kylie announced in January that they were splitting after four years of marriage.“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything,” Amanda and West wrote in the statement. “Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we need a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”Amanda Batula//Instagram“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,” they continued. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”But a source told People that Amanda and West went out of their way to hide their romance from the rest of the Summer House cast. They “kept this very secretive and were openly lying about it,” said the source, “which forced everyone else to put it together over the past few days as the rest of the world did the same.”“There's a lot of hurt, a lot of confusion and a feeling of betrayal among the friend group,” the insider continued, noting that the cast is “rallying around Ciara and Kyle,” in light of the drama.Now, the future of Summer House may be in jeopardy. “It’s just a lot to take in,” Kyle said in an interview with Adam Glyn. “It’s not just me, Amanda, West, Ciara. It’s, like, our whole friend group. I mean, Carl is a mess. It really does put into jeopardy what the show’s about because you can’t shoot Summer House if the vibes are off. We’re not actors.”View full post on TikTok“There’s no reason not to do Summer House,” he added. “Obviously every single year we go through the casting process. I think the real issue would be, ‘Can we actually, as a group, film?’ I’ve never had an issue with filming with anybody that I had beef with in 10 years. I would never do that to West, I would never do that to Hannah, but I have real issues with a dude that managed to use his charm to get whatever he wants, says the right thing at the right time.”On that note, I am anxiously awaiting the reunion special…Who Is Everyone in the ‘Summer House’ Cast Dating?Summer House Is in “Jeopardy”‘Summer House’ Cast React to Amanda & West RumorsA Timeline of ‘Summer House’ Love Triangle Drama
