“Summer House” star Carl Radke shared new details on his relationship with Lindsay Hubbard nearly three years after he ended their engagement on camera.
The Bravo TV personality appeared on the May 12 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” where he revealed that things are much better now between him and his former fiancée.
When asked if there was a world in which he and Hubbard would get back together, Radke replied, “I mean, I think that ship has sailed. But I do really believe we have a strong bond as friends, and I think there is a future of a strong friendship, and I’m hoping for that.”
“But no, I’m not, I don’t think she wants to go back there. Neither do I,” Radke confirmed.
Carl Radke Said the Rekindled Friendship Is Not Just for Show
Radke and Hubbard were estranged for some time after their breakup. Hubbard moved on to a new relationship and gave birth to a daughter, Gemma, in late 2024. She ultimately split from Turner Kufe, her baby’s father, and now lives solo with Gemma in a New York City apartment.
During the summer of 2025, Hubbard made cameos on “Summer House” and her frosty relationship with Radke slowly began to thaw.
On the May 12 episode of the Bravo reality show, Hubbard stepped in to comfort Radke after he got into an explosive argument with co-star Kyle Cooke that almost turned physical. She told Radke to breathe and calm down as she diffused the fight.
“Something about her presence was just very calming,” Radke said on WWHL. “I looked at her in the eye, and I could tell, like we’re family, I need to calm down.”
On WWHL, Radke said things have only improved off camera since then.
“I’m not like trying to like do this just for the show, but like I think it’s important for people to see how exes can maybe come back together,” he told host Andy Cohen. “It’s co-parenting in a different way.”
Radke also admitted that his romantic relationship with Hubbard probably moved too fast, which contributed to its downfall. “You know I had also just gotten sober and probably should have taken some more time focusing on that,” he shared. “But it was, you know, can’t put the genie back in the bottle.”
Carl Radke Met Lindsay Hubbard’s Daughter, Gemma
Elsewhere on WWHL, Radke revealed that he spent a lot of time with Hubbard at the NBC Upfronts and that it was “really good.” He also shared that he recently met Hubbard’s daughter for the first time at a mutual friend’s birthday party, and he got a high-five from her.
“She was trying to get Gemma to say some words,” the Soft Bar founder said. “It was really fun seeing Gemma run around the party. It’s like little Lindsay running around. It’s like adorable, it’s really sweet. I’m really happy [for her].”
Radke noted that he has a lot of history with Hubbard and will always have a strong bond with her. “I missed her and that friendship,” he admitted. “And I feel like we’re getting closer to being just really happy and in a good place.”
