Summer House stars West Wilson and Amanda Batula were caught fleeing the country prior to the first part of the reunion airing tonight.
Ever since the pair confirmed they were in a relationship â prior to the Summer House season 10 reunion taping â there has been a slew of drama surrounding them.
Deuxmoi received a photo of the pair at the airport, leaving the country. The outlet also received a tip about the couple.
âPlease note this picture is at the airport, headed to ItalyâŚÂ Summer Houseâs West Wilson and Amanda Batula leave the country ahead of Summer House reunion,â they wrote alongside the photo.
They also included someoneâs tip over the pic, which read, âWest and Amanda spotted in Rome a few hours ago!!! Restaurant called Civico 4.â
Prior to beginning the reunion taping, West shared in a confessional what he hoped to get out of the day.
While he admitted that he was ânot stoked,â but rather âhappy to get it over with,â he said there was a âlot of good truth to be told today.â
âAs scary as today is, good things can come today as well,â he said. âI think a timeline of this, of our modern relationship, is important to address, because thereâs a lot of different speculations.â
âI donât picture everything being perfect and kosher after, but I hope my accountability and like genuineness reaches through enough that like we leave today thinking that progress can be made down the road, you know?â he added.
Amanda also shared her hopes for the reunion in a separate confessional video.
âThis is obviously the most nervous Iâve been, easily,â she noted, insisting she was ready to âclear everything upâ and âface the chaos.â
âClearing up the timeline and that there was like no affair and nothing malicious and itâs just two people that had feelings for each other that shouldnât have,â she continued.
While she noted that making amends with everyone was potentially not possible, she said she hoped to move forward with some of her co-stars.
âI know that I might, like, not be able to make amends with everyone, but Iâm hoping that after I say my piece and I clear everything up, weâll be able to walk away with more understanding, process, and hopefully thereâs some people I can move forward with,â she added. âI know it wonât all be forgiveness, but Iâm hoping that there will be a path forward in some capacity.â
Amanda and West officially confirmed they were an item in a joint social media statement on March 31, noting theyâd âseen the growing speculationâ and thus decided to âprovide some clarity,â even though this was âstill very new.â
âIt was never our intention to purposefully hide anything,â they shared at the time. âGiven the complicated dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.â
âWeâve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and whatâs developed recently was the last thing that either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care,â they elaborated.
Amanda and West explained they stayed mum as their âfeelings evolvedâ because they wanted to âtake time to understand exactly what [they] were feeling.â
âWe also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless,â they also shared. âWe truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.â
