Flirty Encounter Between Amanda Batula and West Wilson Unveiled in New Spinoff Trailer
The first trailer for Bravo's upcoming spinoff series In The City has been released, offering fans a tantalising glimpse into the developing dynamic between Amanda Batula and West Wilson. The preview, which debuted on Tuesday, captures a notably affectionate moment between the two co-stars, filmed months before they publicly confirmed their romantic involvement.
Intimate Street Scene Hints at Secret Romance
In the trailer, Batula, aged 34, is seen enthusiastically greeting Wilson, 31, on a bustling New York City street with the playful exclamation, "Hey cutie!" Wilson responds warmly with "Hey Mandy," before the pair engage in a close, smiling hug. This interaction appears to have been recorded during the autumn of 2025, directly following the filming of Summer House Season 10, according to an official Bravo press release.
Notably, this flirty encounter likely occurred while Batula was still legally married to her estranged husband, Kyle Cooke. The couple announced their separation in January, after four years of marriage and a decade-long relationship. The trailer strongly suggests that In The City will extensively explore the emotional fallout from this high-profile breakup.
Trailer Teases Relationship Drama and Accusations
The preview does not shy away from the tension surrounding Batula and Cooke's split. One poignant scene features Batula confronting Cooke with the accusatory question, "Who was in our apartment last night while I'm asleep? Do you know how many times you've cheated on me?" Another emotional moment shows fellow cast member Lindsay Hubbard reflecting on the situation, stating, "I am watching my friends demolish their relationship."
The new series promises to follow the cast as they navigate significant life transitions. Alongside Batula, Wilson, and Cooke, the show will feature Summer House alumni Lindsay Hubbard, Danielle Olivera, and Andrea Denver, alongside a roster of fresh faces.
Shock Announcement and Cast Fallout
Batula and Wilson sent shockwaves through the entertainment world when they jointly announced their relationship via an Instagram statement on March 31. In their message, they acknowledged the newness of their romance but expressed a desire to "provide some clarity" amidst intense online speculation.
"As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling," the couple stated. "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." They emphasised there is no evidence of infidelity related to their relationship.
The announcement had immediate repercussions within their social circle. Ciara Miller, Batula's best friend and Wilson's former girlfriend, promptly unfollowed both individuals on Instagram following the revelation.
Premiere Details and Anticipation
In The City is scheduled to make its highly anticipated debut on May 19. The premiere will air immediately after the season 10 finale of the flagship Summer House series, ensuring a seamless transition for dedicated Bravo viewers. The spinoff is poised to deliver a compelling mix of romance, friendship drama, and personal evolution as its cast members grapple with love, loyalty, and life in the spotlight.
