Summer House star Carl Radke confirmed his split from his fellow Bravo fiancée, Lindsay Hubbard, according to a leaked letter to friends and family.
Per People, Radke apologized to their loved ones for the inconvenience posed by canceling their wedding, which was slated to take place in Mexico later this year. “Words cannot possibly express how difficult the last two weeks have been for Lindsay and I,” he wrote.
“We were left trying to figure out how this all exactly happened before we could even have the opportunity to determine the path forward amongst ourselves,” he said. “There have been a lot of false narratives and misunderstandings that have made this all the more painful but sadly at this time we are not moving forward with the wedding,”
Though it doesn’t get into specifics about their breakup, Radke’s letter mentions that “Lindsay is devastated and I’m crushed with how all this transpired.”
The couple met during Season 1 of the Bravo series in 2016, though they did not begin dating until 2021. Radke proposed to Hubbard during Season 7 last summer after less than a year of dating.
According to US Weekly, Radke broke up with Hubbard on-camera while filming their wedding prep for Summer House Season 8. Inside sources say Hubbard felt blindsided by the breakup, while some say Radke “wasn’t in this relationship emotionally for a while.”
“Only producers knew this was coming, very few of the guests were informed before the news broke,” a source told Us this month. “The deadline to cancel their rooms and receive a refund [is over], so many guests were left to eat the costs.”
Below Deck‘s Captain Lee – their potential officiant – also weighed in on the breakup with his own two cents.
“This came really out of the blue for me. I just got a text from [Carl] that I haven’t read yet. But I had no clue because we are supposed to be at the wedding in November,” he told US Weekly. He maintained that he doesn’t know what caused the breakup and seemed just as blindsided as others, considering all the prep that had already gone into the wedding.
If the rumors are true, it looks like Summer House Season 8 will cover the pre-wedding bliss and the post-breakup drama.
Summer House Season 8 is expected to premiere on Bravo in early 2024, but a date has not been confirmed.
