The last two seasons of Summer House featured major cast breakups. During Season 9, Paige DeSorbo called off her romance with Southern Charm star Craig Conover. And the season before that, Carl Radke ended his engagement to co-star Lindsay Hubbard. And Season 10 Summer House viewers will see Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke’s marriage implode.
In January 2026, before the show premiered, Kyle and Amanda announced their separation. They were married for four years, but were an item for a decade. The news didn’t exactly shock the Bravo-verse. Now, Carl is weighing in on his friends’ decision to part ways.
Summer House OG Carl Radke said “sometimes love isn’t enough”
According to Amanda, there was no “one final straw” that broke the proverbial camel’s back. And she doesn’t feel that a reconciliation at this time is likely. Meanwhile, Carl is being supportive of both sides.
“I think we all should pause and just give Amanda everything we can and support her. I’m obviously supporting Kyle,” Carl told DECIDER. “I love them dearly. It’s not easy putting it all out there like they have for the last 10 years.”
When asked if Kyle’s budding career as a DJ was the cause of the couple’s split, Carl didn’t deny it. “I think there are a lot of variables. I think that’s something that you can point to. But there’s a lot more than his music career,” Carl explained.
He continued, “They have different personalities and some things that maybe weren’t complimentary, I guess. I think they loved each other dearly.” Carl added, “But sometimes love isn’t enough.”
During the press events for Summer House, Carl was glad to see them in a good space. “It made me really happy to see them getting along and friendly, and everything was pretty good, honestly, all things considered,” he said. Meanwhile, Carl and Lindsay are working their way back to being friends after their messy breakup.
Summer House airs on Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock the next day.
