Lisa Barlow Offers Dating Advice to West Wilson After His Split with Ciara Miller
Lisa Barlow, star of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, recently shared some wise dating advice with West Wilson after his romance with Ciara Miller fell apart on Summer House Season 8. In an interview with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea, Barlow revealed that she urged Wilson to be more selective when it comes to dating. “I told him, ‘You have to be really selective.’ It’s easy to go out and hook up with a lot of people. I’m like, ‘You’ve got to be super selective,’” she said. Barlow, who recently collaborated with Wilson on a Bravo-themed Wendy’s commercial, believes that it’s more attractive for a single man to be choosy about who he dates rather than juggling multiple casual relationships.
West Wilson’s Recent Breakup and Lisa Barlow’s Take on His Behavior
Barlow, who has a soft spot for Wilson, admitted that she initially sided with Miller during the height of her public conflict with Wilson. “I love Ciara so much that I did tell West that I did say, ‘F West,’ in a text [to Miller] when he was doing her dirty,” she confessed. On the current season of Summer House, Wilson has been keeping his romantic interactions private, even avoiding questions from castmate Jesse Solomon about a mysterious off-camera rendezvous. Barlow thinks Wilson is making the right move by keeping things under wraps. “I love West. I love Ciara. I think he’s really cute … I think keep your hookups on the down-low,” she advised. “Don’t rub them in anyone’s face and be selective.”
Wilson, for his part, explained that his decision to stay mum about his personal life stems from the fallout with Miller. During a group dinner, Miller called him a “f–king loser,” which deeply affected him. “I’m just trying to keep — if it’s not peace in the house, it’s my own peace right now,” he said in a confessional. “I just ball up when things are uncomfortable. I’m not hiding secret wives or girlfriends.” Wilson also added that he doesn’t feel the need to share intimate details about his interactions with others, saying, “If I end up on a couch [with someone], like, I don’t need to put it on a projector and share what positions we did and what color her hair was.”
The Rollercoaster Relationship Between West Wilson and Ciara Miller
The drama between Wilson and Miller began in the summer of 2023 when Wilson joined the Summer House cast, and the two quickly hit it off. However, their relationship took a turn for the worse by December of that year, leading to a messy breakup. During the Season 8 reunion, the two addressed their issues, with Miller accusing Wilson of “playing a game” with her and ending their relationship for “show-related reasons.” Despite the lingering chemistry between them in certain scenes, Barlow believes the two should not rekindle their romance.
“I absolutely don’t think they should. I think West should stay on the trajectory he’s on and I think Ciara needs some finance guy that’s super smart, that can be a good dad … future-thinking for Ciara,” she said. Barlow went on to explain that Wilson is at a point in his life where he should focus on having fun, figuring out what he wants, and discovering who he is. She believes Miller, on the other hand, deserves someone who is more settled and ready for a serious commitment. “And I think West is at a point in his life where he should be having fun, figuring out what he wants, who he is and I think he should just keep doing that. And I think she should date someone else. I think they’re both so cute individually and they’re maybe just not right for each other.”
Lisa Barlow’s Partnership with Clorox: Cleaning Up Life’s Messes
When she’s not dishing out advice to her friends or navigating the drama of reality TV, Barlow is passionate about keeping things clean and tidy—thanks to her longtime partnership with Clorox. “I only work with brands that I use and I believe in. My mom got me on Clorox. My mom was always like, ‘Clorox is the best,’” she shared. Barlow recalled how her mother instilled in her the importance of cleaning, even when they were on vacation. “Even when we were little kids going on vacation, my mom, as soon as we would get off an airplane, my mom would always have us go to the store and get Clorox, and she would clean the showers in the hotel,” she said. Today, Barlow swears by the brand, saying, “I’ve always used Clorox and thought of it as the best cleaning product.”
