Before KJ Dillard<\/strong> and Mia Calabrese<\/strong> were roommates in the Hamptons, the Summer House<\/i><\/span><\/a> stars had a connection through their extended families.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom and @miagcalabrese\u2019s sister were college roommates and friends,\u201d KJ shared via Instagram on Tuesday, May 12, with a throwback photo<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThis is me as a baby with both of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSummer House newbie Mia Calabrese is all in on the idea of a spinoff with her BFF Ciara Miller. \u201cI love it,\u201d Mia, 34, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Vulture Reality Masterminds Celebration on Thursday, May 7. \u201cI love Ciara so much, and I think that idea is great.\u201d Mia, however, pointed out that [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mia may have had the best reaction when she celebrated the shocking connection to her costar that goes back decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still cannot believe this! So insane,\u201d she wrote. \u201cWe\u2019ve been family forever!\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in February, KJ and Mia made their Summer House<\/i> debuts. Mia joined the group through her good friend Ciara Miller and was \u201cready to bring the heat, the fun and a little mess,\u201d according to Bravo<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for KJ, the Kansas City native was saying goodbye to his life as a pro skateboarder and leaning into modeling and music during his single era.<\/p>\n

When filming Summer House<\/i>, the show\u2019s newest cast member formed a special friendship with Mia and fell in love<\/span><\/a> with Dara.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re boyfriend and girlfriend<\/span><\/a>,\u201d he exclusively shared with Us Weekly<\/i><\/a> in March. \u201cI love her tremendously. She\u2019s the best. I wish she was here right now. She has a completely different upbringing than I do, which I\u2019m attracted to, but emotionally we\u2019re very similar, and I love that about her.\u201d<\/p>\n

While KJ\u2019s first season of Summer House<\/i> has brought plenty of surprises, the biggest shock may have come when Ciara Miller<\/strong>\u2019s ex-boyfriend West Wilson<\/strong> confirmed he was dating Ciara\u2019s once-BFF Amanda Batula<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although KJ has made it clear that he doesn\u2019t approve of the relationship and is Team Ciara, he couldn\u2019t help but get emotional when reading a text<\/span><\/a> from West on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen<\/i> after taping the season 10 reunion.<\/p>\n
