Jesse Solomon is sharing an insight into the moments that made him suspicious that something might be going on between his Summer House costars West Wilson and Amanda Batula.
Appearing on the Tuesday, April 21, episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the 32-year-old also revealed when he found out about Wilson, 28, and 34-year-old Batula’s romance.
“I had my suspicions, but I did not know until they made their joint statement,” Solomon shared, referencing the pair’s March 31 Instagram posts confirming their relationship. “They both denied it to my face, multiple times.”
Guest Kristin Cavallari then asked Solomon when he started to suspect something was going on, with Solomon replying, “Late Feb into March.”
“Amanda then text me apologizing, sorry that I lied to you,” Solomon continued, adding that Wilson has not apologized to him and the “trust is a little broken.”
He also revealed that both he and Wilson’s ex, costar Ciara Miller, “were suspicious” leading up to the statement and that Miller, 30, had told him, “Just wait for the reunion.”
Host Andy Cohen then asked the reality star what made him “suspicious” of the two.
“There was a lot of just, like, flirting,” Solomon explained. “The boys went to brunch one day, and West went to brunch with Amanda after and didn’t tell us he was going to brunch with her.”

Solomon then revealed that he and Batula’s estranged husband, and fellow costar, Kyle Cooke, “ran into them at a bar.”
The singer shared that the encounter happened in March, while he also revealed that in “late Feb” Wilson and Batula “went to dinner without me in Miami when we were all there at the same time. Originally, I was just, like, offended, but then it made sense later.”
Cohen, 57, then asked Solomon if he thinks anything happened between Wilson and Batula last summer while season 10 of the Bravo show was filming.

“I really hope not, it’s easy to look back now and hindsight’s 20/20, but I don’t think that they were,” he explained.

Solomon also commented on Wilson breaking his silence on his relationship with Batula during an episode of his Show Me Something podcast.
“I saw it … A for effort,” said Solomon.
During the podcast, Wilson attempted to clarify the timeline of his and Batula’s romance, which came following his breakup with Miller.
"I know there's a thousand different theories on the internet right now, but that is one thing that for sure did not happen. Everyone was single,” said Wilson.
Batula and Cooke, 43, announced their separation after four years of marriage in a statement shared on Instagram on Jan. 19.
In an appearance on Watch What Happens Live earlier this year, Batula said the pair started living separately right before BravoCon 2025, which took place Nov. 14-16.
Batula and Wilson confirmed they were romantically involved in a March 31 Instagram statement.

"We've seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” the statement began. “It 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 need a little space to process things privately before speaking on it."
"We've shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what's developed recently was the last thing either of us expected," they continued. "Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care."
