All About Meija Moreno & Her Connection to the ’Summer House’ Drama
The Summer House reunion is under way, and Part One on May 26 featured Ciara Miller accusing West Wilson of having a “girlfriend” named Meija amid his headline-making scandal with Amanda Batula. A previously-released clip for the reunion, which will air Parts Two and Three on June 2 and June 9, respectively, showed Ciara, Kyle Cooke, and Carl Radke also reiterating that they believed West had a “full-blown girlfriend” when he got involved with Amanda earlier this year (he and Amanda confirmed their relationship on March 31).
This isn’t the first time that Meija’s name has been tossed into the Summer House mix. When West was a guest on Watch What Happens Live on March 24 (the same appearance, we should note, where he referred to Amanda as “a friend,” despite later admitting that they had already shared a kiss weeks earlier), he was wearing a tie made out of actual horse hair and revealed that his “friend Meija” made it for him.
Swooon rounded up everything we know about Meija and her relationship with West.
Who is Meija Moreno?
Meija is an artist and the creator of Snarl Studios. She makes handmade pieces, such as the tie made of horse hair that West wore on WWHL. On the Snarl Studios Instagram page, Meija has posted videos of herself wearing similar horse hair ties and shown close-up looks at the custom products.
According to her LinkedIn, Meija previously worked as an administrative assistant at an eye care office.
Where does Meija Moreno live?
Meija currently lives in Philadelphia, but she previously lived in Montana. In a 2025 TikTok video, Meija revealed that she had “recently moved to Philadelphia from Montana/Idaho.” West, meanwhile, currently lives in New York City.
“I was born in northern Idaho, of all places, and that is where I grew up,” Meija revealed in a recent interview. “I moved to a suburb of Chicago for a year and then right before seventh grade started, we moved to Montana. That’s where I did the rest of middle school, high school and college.
Is Meija Moreno dating West Wilson?
While West now appears to be dating Amanda (they attended his cousin’s wedding in Italy together at the end of May), it was previously reported that he was in an “exclusive” relationship with Meija when news about his romance with his costar broke. Page Six reported on April 1 that West told Meija he wasn’t sleeping with other people at the time.
When Meija was brought up at the reunion, West confirmed he had been “seeing someone,” but said she was “not a girlfriend.” Lindsay Hubbard revealed that Meija slept over West’s apartment the night before the March 24 WWHL appearance, which he did not deny (at this point, he and Amanda were already secretly seeing each other).
Meija has mostly kept tight-lipped about the situation, although she jokingly posted a TikTok captioned, “Clearing up the speculation,” where all she did was reveal the correct way to pronounce her name in a video. She also commented on Instagram that “the cops would have been called” if she was in attendance at the Summer House reunion.
West referenced Meija on a Season 9 episode of Summer House in 2025 when he was asked if he was seeing a specific girl that he wasn’t telling anyone about. “No,” he insisted. “The girl [Jesse Solomon’s] talking about lives in Montana. And if I was seeing anyone seriously, he’d probably be the first to know.”
Notably, Meija and West’s ex/Amanda’s best friend, Ciara, followed each other on Instagram amid the West and Amanda scandal.
How did Meija Moreno and West Wilson meet?
Meija and West both went to Montana State University, but since he’s older than her, they “didn’t hang out” at school, she revealed. However, they had “a bunch of mutual friends” and officially met at a wedding in 2023.
“We kind of lived together for a week, and that was the first time we ever met, and then we kept in touch afterwards,” she explained.
