Ciara and West Share Intimate Moment on ‘Summer House' While Amanda Is Away

Ciara Miller and West Wilson shared an intimate and emotional moment on the latest Summer House episode - all while Amanda Batula was back in the city.

After West, 31, apologized to Ciara, 30, on the Tuesday, April 21, episode of the Bravo series for kissing another girl while sitting right next to her, Ciara agreed to finally hash out their two years of drama without any outside voices.

"I'm almost scared to be nice to you or scared to be myself around you because I'm afraid of being embarrassed," Ciara confessed to West as the pair waited for the rest of their friends to meet them at the docks for a boat day - except for Amanda, 34, who was in New York all weekend. (Amanda and West confirmed their romance in March after Ciara dated him in 2023 and vented to Amanda for years about her mixed emotions on their current relationship.)

Ciara explained during the heartfelt conversation, "The very thing that I was afraid of happened and you sat right next to me and didn't see me. I feel like all of that is very triggering."

West acknowledged that "subjecting" Ciara to his makeout session one week prior with a random girl was "f***ed up" after he and Ciara dated in 2023 and were flirty throughout filming of season 10 in summer 2025.

Ciara and West continued to have a heart-to-heart for the first time since he broke up with her ahead of the holidays in 2023 and she accused him of "playing games" with her heart after becoming famous.

"I did really consider you my best friend. I felt like we had such a great friendship. I think that's what was so hurtful about it," Ciara told West on Tuesday's episode while wiping away tears. "I don't call people my best friend lightly. I don't have the type of relationship that I had with you with everyone. It really felt like I didn't know you because I didn't expect that from you."

West confessed it was "really sad" to hear Ciara's true feelings about their past. He admitted that talking about her and their breakup to the press before really speaking with her about it was something he deeply regretted.

The exes sat side by side for a few minutes before West joked, "I knew you weren't going to make out with Jesse [Solomon]," referring to Jesse's desire to kiss Ciara earlier in the summer - despite "bro code."

"I'm pissed that you said you didn't care. Are you kidding?" Ciara said after laughing at West's ability to break the ice.

West wiped Ciara's tears from her face and replied, "What was I going to do?" to which Ciara laughed, "Stop it! Save me," which caused West to burst into laughter as well.

While West and Ciara appeared to be on much better terms without anyone else running interference in their friend group, their heart-to-heart would be short-lived.

Six months after they filmed that scene by the docks, West and Amanda sparked romance speculation after being spotted together in February and March in New York City. (Amanda and estranged husband Kyle Cooke announced their split in January.)

West and Amanda confirmed on March 31 that their platonic relationship had turned into something more, claiming they weren't purposely hiding their romance. The backlash, however, came fast and in waves, as Summer House stars and fans questioned the timeline - and Ciara's feelings.

West claimed during his and Sophie Cunningham's "Show Me Something" podcast on Monday, April 20, "There was no overlap," for him or Amanda when they started seeing each other.

Kyle, 43, however, took a jab at West on April 1 when he said in a TikTok interview, "West seems to be the kinda guy playing multiple women at the same time."

Ciara, meanwhile, broke her silence over the scandal on Friday, April 17, telling Glamour, "At the end of the day, a guy's a guy. Whether or not West and I are working on a relationship, you just can't put anything past a man."

She added, "But I just never would think that it would come from someone like Amanda, who has been what has felt like in my circle and in my corner for so long. I think that's the craziest part."

Summer House airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
