Summer House’s newest singleton is taking bed-rotting to a new level. Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller have admitted Jesse Solomon to their group.
Naturally, following her split from Kyle Cooke, Amanda has her own apartment. And her new endorsement deal with LoveSac has her morphing from bedbug to couch potato.
“I think we’ve all heard Kyle complain about how much time I spent on the couch,” she said. “So why not have a couch that will literally last forever with me?”

“Kyle and I are both doing really well right now,” she told Page Six. “We’re … just focusing on healing and continuing to better ourselves.” She added that Ciara has been “an incredible support” and is “always checking in” on her.
“Obviously, I’m obsessed with the couch and bed,” she continued. “I love being horizontal as much as possible. So working with a brand that literally specializes in couches, I think it’s a no-brainer.”
Previously, her furniture style was very “millennial beige … Everything was white, clean, crisp,” she shared. But that was before she and Kyle adopted two puppies. After the dogs came into their lives, her old white couch became “disgusting and dirty.”
“Now I’m trying to lean more into neutrals, pops of colors,” she explained. “And I’m really trying to add more color into my apartment with artwork and furniture pieces.”
She also added one whimsical item of decor, a nod to her struggles with depression: a pillow in the shape of a Prozac pill. Amanda’s been open about her mental health issues.
“That’s the vibe. It’s, like, fine, silly, light, just living in color,” she said. “I just want to be surrounded by … the things that make me happy and comfortable and feel warm.”
In the meantime, the swimwear designer looks forward to a new chapter, which includes a Summer House spinoff. She’s excited about In The City, which will show the Summer House cast in their day-to-day lives with their “real true friends” back in NYC.
“Enjoying every day just feels better and better,” she concluded. “And that’s been a really amazing thing to happen.”
Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
