The Bravolebrity doubled down, claiming \u201ceveryone was single\u201d when he and Batula, 34, got together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe realized things were maybe a little bit serious in February, and that\u2019s when this all started,\u201d he explained. \u201cThere\u2019s not a whole lot more to it than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Wilson defended Batula against the \u201cbrunt\u201d of online comments from people with \u201cs\u2013t to talk,\u201d he did acknowledge that their bombshell relationship has \u201churt people [they] care about.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reality star noted that he hasn\u2019t yet \u201cgotten responses from everybody\u201d he\u2019s texted from the cast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get it,\u201d he told podcast listeners. \u201cBut the reunion is coming up<\/a>, and I can give those apologies face-to-face and also clear up crazy s\u2013t.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for how Wilson is faring, he quipped that he\u2019s \u201cbeen better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson said, \u201cA lot has happened in a very short amount of time, obviously, and [I\u2019m] trying to take it a day at a time and just stay off my phone. But the Internet is a very scary place to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rumors began swirling<\/a> in March that Batula and her BFF Ciara Miller\u2019s ex-boyfriend were an item.<\/p>\n

The duo confirmed their \u201cconnection\u201d<\/a> in a joint Instagram Story statement late last month, with Page Six reporting they are in a \u201cfull-blown relationship.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

We heard Wilson was in an \u201cexclusive\u201d relationship<\/a> with a woman named Meija Moreno\u00a0when his and Batula\u2019s secret was exposed.<\/p>\n

A source told us Wilson had assured Moreno, publicly referred to as \u201cMontana girl,\u201d that rumors about himself and Batula were simply speculation.<\/p>\n

Reps for Wilson and Batula did not respond to Page Six\u2019s requests for comment at the time.<\/p>\n

Batula has not spoken out about the scandal \u2014 besides a social media statement earlier this month about returning to \u201csome sense of normalcy\u201d<\/a> \u2014 but has flaunted the romance<\/a> on multiple public dates, from movie nights<\/a> to Yankee Stadium PDA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Miller, for her part, blasted the couple\u2019s \u201cmindf\u2013k\u201d of a betrayal<\/a> in a Glamour interview published last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, a guy\u2019s a guy. Whether or not West and I are working on a relationship, you just can\u2019t put anything past a man,\u201d the 30-year-old nurse, who dated Wilson in 2023<\/a>, said Friday. <\/p>\n

\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Batula\u2019s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, made headlines over the weekend for commenting a barf emoji<\/a> on his ex\u2019s baseball game makeout with Wilson.<\/p>\n

\u201cWas not prepared to see that. And that. And that,\u201d he wrote via Instagram.<\/p>\n
