Jennifer Fessler has responded to accusations from Ciara Miller that her former partner, West Wilson, had a romantic involvement with the Real Housewives of New Jersey alum.
During a conversation with Page Six on Friday, May 8, the 57-year-old F Major cofounder dismissed Ciara’s assertion that she was involved with West, who is 31. Jennifer, who has been married to Jeff Fessler since 1999, remarked, “It’s flattering that anyone would think someone who slept with Ciara Miller would be interested in sleeping with me.”
Ciara, 30, made her unverified claim following Jennifer’s remarks about West at Vulture’s The Masterminds of Reality TV event on Thursday.
The RHONJ alum stood by West amid criticism over his new relationship with his Summer House costar Amanda Batula, who was once friends with Ciara. At the event, Jennifer described West as “the cutest, sweetest golden retriever puppy dog,” emphasizing that he means no harm and just wants to have fun, urging people to give him a break.
When Jennifer’s comments surfaced on Threads, Ciara responded on the platform, stating, “Lol, because they slept together too.”
West addressed the rumors on his Instagram Stories on Friday, humorously dismissing the speculation by writing, “news to me,” and tagging Jennifer in the post.
West and Ciara, who briefly dated, confirmed their final breakup at the Summer House season 8 reunion in May 2024.
Meanwhile, Amanda, 34, and her husband Kyle Cooke, 43, announced their separation in January after four years of marriage. Speculation about Amanda and West’s relationship grew, and they addressed the rumors with a joint Instagram statement in March, acknowledging the new nature of their relationship and the need for privacy amid complex dynamics.
Jennifer has previously opened up about challenges in her marriage to Jeff, including infidelity that surfaced seven years after they married. On the “I Do Part 2” podcast in February 2025, she shared that during that time, both she and Jeff were not prioritizing their marriage, leading to emotional and physical disconnection. Despite these struggles, they worked through their issues, though Jennifer admitted to feeling deeply affected upon discovering Jeff’s affair.
