‘Summer House’ Star Carl Radke Says He Hasn’t “Kissed Anybody” Since Lindsay Hubbard

Since the beginning of Bravo's hit reality series Summer House, plenty of cast members, including Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard, have had relationships with fellow costars. For most of the show, viewers have witnessed several hookups between these two, which led to many fans shipping Lindsay and Carl together. Though they tested the waters in Season 4, things didn't work out at the time due to Carl's battle with alcoholism.

As fate would have it, Carl and Lindsay reconnected in October 2021. Then, in August 2022, the Bravolebrities became engaged. Their engagement and wedding plans played out on Summer House, as they were both initially excited to walk down the aisle. Unfortunately, their excitement didn’t last long.

Fast forward to August 2023, and the couple shocked everyone by calling off their wedding just a year after the proposal. The aftermath of their breakup was a significant storyline in Season 8 of Summer House, and the tension spilled over into the reunion.

In the Season 8 reunion, Lindsay confirmed she’s moved on from the breakup and is dating someone new. But is Carl doing the same? Here’s what the Loverboy Advisor has said about his post-Lindsay dating life.

During the sitdown, he admitted to Lindsay, host Andy Cohen, and their co-stars that he hadn’t even been physical with anyone since he called off their wedding. Carl said he missed having Lindsay in his life and the bond they shared.

"I know I made this decision, it's my choice that I said what I said, but she's been a big support to me. I've been through a ton with her," he explained. "You know, I haven't kissed anybody since Lindsay. I haven't hooked up with anybody since Lindsay. And that's f------g embarrassing, but that's where my head has been. Because I hurt someone I cared about."

The reunion was the first time Carl and Lindsay had been in the same room since their split. The breakup occurred on camera and aired during the Season 8 finale. In February 2024, Lindsay said on Summer House that she felt “blindsided” by Carl’s decision to end their relationship. She said she initially thought their conversation in the finale would be about their finances and not a breakup.

Andy said at the reunion that production had no idea the breakup would happen. Carl also previously fought against her claim of being blindsided and said their issues were apparent on Summer House.

"I think a wedding is to celebrate your relationship, and there were foundational things that were not stable to move forward with a lifetime of marriage..." Carl said on Watch What Happens Live in March 2024. "I mean, I believe in having a stable relationship before you celebrate a wedding, and we were not in that position, I believe, to move forward with the wedding."

Carl may be single, but he said he would rather be alone than in a relationship that no longer serves him. In another section of his March 2024 WWHL appearance, he confirmed he doesn’t “regret” breaking up with Lindsay on camera. Carl said he felt that he and Lindsay did the right thing and didn’t doubt that they did the right thing.

“I don't regret anything [with] the way that it went down," he declared. "I actually think it was the best decision for the both of us not to move forward with the wedding."

Carl expressed similar sentiments at the Summer House Season 8 reunion. When Andy asked how he felt about Lindsay dating again, he had nothing but positive words about his ex’s new relationship.

"I mean, I want her to be happy,” Carl shared, per The Daily Dish. “I wish her nothing but happiness. "I hope he takes great care of her and is good to her. That's all I can ask for."

While Carl and Lindsay may never be what they were, it’s good to see him trying to make amends.

Summer House is available to stream on Peacock.
