Batula and Wilson went public with their romance Tuesday via an Instagram Stories post.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,\u201d the statement began.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a joint statement via their Instagram Stories, Batula and Wilson insisted it was never their intention to \u201chide anything.\u201d Instagram\/ Amanda Batula<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what\u2019s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair noted that their \u201cconnection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship\u201d and explained that they took time to go public their relationship because they wanted to \u201capproach this with care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

A source connected to the situation claimed to Page Six that the two are in a \u201cfull-blown relationship.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt would have been a very difficult summer to get through without Ciara. She is one of the kindest, most loving, loyal friends I\u2019ve ever had. She sends me texts out of the blue, reminding me how strong, powerful, smart and kind I am \u2014 I don\u2019t think she even realizes how much I need those texts,\u201d Batula told the magazine just days before the hookup rumors surfaced.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also meant so much to me how supportive West has been throughout the season, sometimes in ways I wasn\u2019t even aware of when filming. It\u2019s not performative; it\u2019s just really authentic to who West is. He checks Kyle and puts him in his place, and you\u2019ll continue to see him be there for me throughout the season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ciara Miller was shocked to find out her best friend, Amanda Batula, is dating her ex, West Wilson,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":577246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[224034,64,63,447,1581,134,23397,11252,67833,427],"class_list":{"0":"post-577245","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-amanda-batula","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-celebrity-news","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-reality-stars","15":"tag-reality-tv","16":"tag-summer-house","17":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=577245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/577246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=577245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=577245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
