When you head into the warmer months, most of us want a cute fling to keep those dog days of summer at bay, so when I saw Summer House star Ciara Miller and West Wilson putting their best moves out on the metaphorical dance floor, I instantly started to root for them. Currently, the two are inseparable as they have gone on a few dates in the city and cuddled up close on the Montauk couch. Ciara is loyal, quite wise, discerning, and independent, so she needs a dude who can embrace all her positive traits. I think West is just the guy.
The Austen era
Again, I don’t understand why any of these strong, powerful Bravo women were falling for the “Honda Civic” of men. But Ciara was under Austen Kroll’s charming spell, and the rest is history. The two first met at Winter House, and I genuinely thought there might be a love connection. But naturally, the Southern Charm star couldn’t hide his playboy ways forever and came back the following summer flirting hard with Lindsay Hubbard. Lindsay invited him to her birthday, where they made out, leaving Ciara feeling pretty disrespected and foolish.
Austen is messy and follows a clear pattern, so again, I can’t grasp why the women of Bravo continue to allow his bad behavior. I mean, this is the same guy who tried to gaslight Madison LeCroy when she found him having a threesome. In my opinion, Austen does the bare minimum when it comes to relationships, too. I’ve never seen him make a massive gesture towards the women he dates unless he’s trying to get out of the dog house.
Wild wild West
When West and Ciara first met in the summer house, it was an immediate yes for me! I mean, he is a sweet, Mid-Western guy who knows how to treat a woman with more respect than Austen, though I assume it is not that hard to do. He showed that he was interested in the model, making sure to ask her out and compliment her a lot. West is a vibe, and I want him to continue to vibe with Ciara because she needs to put herself back out there.
West’s calm and steady personality is a huge change from Austen’s chaos. But West’s personality shines through. I loved how thrilled he was when Danielle Olivera won a prize at the carnival. He seems to want the best for everyone around him. I can see how his humor and genuine lust for life are shining through. If Austen were to stand next to him, he would be overshadowed by the rays of positivity.
Are they together?
Okay, sleuths, I have a deep dive to determine if Ciara and West are trying to throw us off the scent. Ciara is not known to post much of her personal life on her social media. Between her model photos and sponsored ads, it isn’t often she puts out life dumps. Ciara was extremely open with her PDA posts with Austen, so I would guess she is a bit scarred for life and isn’t about to make the same mistake with West. The only breadcrumbs I can find that lead me to believe they are hanging out is the fact that they are in the same place at the same time but just not posting photos.
Rumors swirled that they weren’t together after Cirara didn’t like one of West’s photos. I wouldn’t bet real money on these kinds of leads, so let’s keep looking. I did notice, however, that West’s mother is following Ciara on Instagram, and the matriarch doesn’t follow any other cast members. Also, how cute is it that both women are in the medical field? It is a perfect thing to bond over. Very interesting. There have also been multiple Bravo tea pages that have seen the duo out and about in New York City. I know it’s only been three episodes, but I am so here for their love story.
