Summer House Stars Trade Hamptons for Montana While Season 11 Rolls On Without Them

There’s a certain irony in Amanda Batula and West Wilson being spotted living their best life in Bigfork, Montana, while Summer House Season 11 begins filming back in the Hamptons — especially given that neither of them will be part of the action this year.

The Bravo personalities were photographed at a small bar in Bigfork on Friday night during a wedding welcome party for Ty Okada, a former Montana State football player turned Seattle Seahawks standout who was teammates with West in college. According to eyewitnesses, the couple mingled freely throughout the evening, both in good spirits as they celebrated alongside other guests. The bar’s intimate size meant Amanda and West were clearly visible as they drank and enjoyed the festivities — the kind of casual, carefree moment you’d expect from two people unbothered by much of anything.

That’s the kicker, though. This sighting comes while Summer House Season 11 is just beginning production, a timing that underscores how completely Amanda and West have stepped back from the Hamptons crew that once defined their summers. Their relationship, which had been a closely guarded secret, exploded into public view earlier this year after months of speculation and whisper campaigns within the friend group. What followed wasn’t a neat resolution — it was fallout. The network ultimately decided neither would return as official cast members this season, effectively sidelining them as the cameras roll without them.

The photos from Montana also put to rest one lingering question: Amanda doesn’t appear to be pregnant, despite fan speculation online. The pink wristband she wore throughout the night was simply a standard 21-and-over identifier issued by the bar, not some cryptic sign of anything else.

For now, Amanda and West seem content trading the yacht clubs and South Fork drama for Big Sky Country. While their Hamptons-loving friend group gears up for what promises to be a season loaded with tension and reshuffled alliances, these two are off the grid — building something away from the cameras that once framed their every move. It’s a curious turn for two people who, not long ago, were at the center of the Bravo universe.
