Italy Getaway: Amanda and West's Pre-Reunion Power Move

Just when the Summer House drama seemed to reach its boiling point, Amanda Batula and West Wilson decided to hit pause—or rather, hit the airport. According to gossip account Deux Moi, the couple was spotted at an airport on Tuesday, May 26, ahead of what sources claim was a romantic escape to Rome, Italy. The timing? Absolutely wild, considering the Season 10 reunion had literally just wrapped and things got heated when the cast confronted them about their freshly minted romance.

Here’s the context that makes this trip so loaded: Amanda and West went public with their relationship on March 31 after months of speculation, and the fallout was immediate. Amanda’s currently separated from costar Kyle Cooke, and West previously dated Amanda’s close friend Ciara Miller. So yeah, not exactly a low-key situation. When the reunion cameras rolled just three weeks after they confirmed dating, cast members grilled the newly-minted couple hard. Mia Calabrese told Us Weekly exclusively that a lot of difficult questions were answered at the 2026 American Music Awards on Monday, May 25.

West didn’t sugarcoat his experience during an episode of his Show Me Something podcast. He acknowledged that he’d caused damage to friendships and called the reunion the darkest form of therapy you could imagine. What’s telling is that he framed it as a turning point: You don’t normally get that much feedback on how your actions impact other people. Whether the Italy trip is a victory lap, a breather, or a romantic declaration to the doubters, it signals that Amanda and West aren’t backing down—they’re leaning in.

Part 1 of the Summer House season 10 reunion airs on Bravo Tuesday, May 26, at 8 p.m. ET, so fans will finally get to see exactly how ugly things got before this couple jetted off to Rome.
