There’s a lot of romance happening on Bravo’s Summer House, which returns with Season 6 on Monday, January 17 at 9 p.m. (Watch the trailer above.)

First, nearly four months after getting married, Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula took a four-day honeymoon to the US Virgin Islands’ St. John the weekend of January 7, according to Page Six.

“Newlywed life has been great, but we haven’t had a minute to go on a single vacation or take a day off because of Loverboy‘s expansion, Cooke told the outlet. Loverboy is the newlyweds’ successful alcoholic beverage brand.

In other love news about the reality show, which follows a group of nine friends who rent a house in the Hamptons, cast members Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke are back together.

Hubbard confirmed their relationship in an interview with Page Six on January 12. “We are definitely dating,” she said, but added that they don’t use the traditional “girlfriend/boyfriend” labels.

The couples have starred on all six seasons of the Bravo series. Hubbard and Radke’s new romance will be shown on the upcoming sixth season of Summer House, premiering January 17

‘Summer House’: Ciara Miller Describes ‘Seeing Red’ During Explosive Fight With Danielle Olivera (Exclusive)

In a split second, dinner in the Hamptons got pretty ugly. The Summer House trailer teased a fight between Ciara Miller and Danielle Olivera that ended with Olivera covered in red wine and bruised.

Miller described the moment and what led up to the altercation, admitting she went to dinner that night pretty hot. Tension built with Lindsay Hubbard during the season, thanks to Austen Kroll from Southern Charm, and Miller admits she lost it and Olivera essentially got involved.

What happened leading up to her fight with Danielle Olivera?

Kroll and Hubbard built a flirty friendship going into Winter House, which was filmed in Stowe, Vermont last winter. Although they decided to date going into the winter vacation, Kroll quickly fell for Miller and hooked up with her before Hubbard arrived at the house. And while that caused some tension, it didn’t last between Hubbard and Miller.

Miller said she and Hubbard were fine going into filming Summer House. “Me and Lindsay did not have any issue after Vermont and going into the summer,” Miller told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “There was no vocalized issue, at least. Until … I don’t know, somewhere, some time somewhere something changed. But there was never a vocalized issue whether she had a problem with being like, you know, between her and Danielle or in her head. It was never expressed to me at any point in time. So there wouldn’t have been a course for correction on my part if I didn’t know that there was an issue.”

Ciara Miller’s ‘Summer House’ fight started with Lindsay Hubbard

While Miller and Olivera are seen getting heated at dinner and Miller throws a glass of wine at Olivera (in slow motion), she never had an issue with her. “I don’t really feel like me and Danielle ever really had any beef,” Miller said. “Like she wasn’t in Vermont. So really like the last time I had seen Danielle before we came to the house, was probably at the reunion.”

Miller concluded that her fight with Olivera came from her loyalty to Hubbard, who is Olivera’s closest friend. “And that was like months prior, but there really is no real beef between us,” she said. “I don’t feel like [there is]. I mean, other than like, you know, yeah, if your best friend is fighting with someone, then you’re fighting with someone.”

She clarified that the whole fight started with Hubbard. “It was definitely a fight where like it was between me and Lindsay. It started off between me and Lindsay. I was speaking to Lindsay initially and then other people kind of got wrapped into it. And then I just obviously let my emotions get the best of me. And [Olivera] ended up taking the brunt of my feelings.”

Does Ciara Miller have a beef with Danielle Olivera?

“It happened so fast. Seeing the slow-mo of it. It was like very … it was bad,” she admitted. “It wasn’t great. But I don’t even remember it being like a two-motion thing. It just felt like it was all at once. And it’s just like, you know, screw you. And then I was seeing red. It was a dinner that I went into very hot. And then continued to get pissed off throughout it.”

So where do Olivera and Miller stand in their friendship today? “I think there was like some underlying tension,” Miller said. “I mean we’re both Capricorns. And I feel like we definitely hold on to things, especially when we feel like we’ve been wronged. So I really don’t have any beef towards Danielle, currently.”

“I can’t speak about how she feels about me, but I definitely think there needs to be more conversation, you know, in order to sort everything out, and I don’t think we had the opportunity to do that,” she added. “Or we just haven’t taken advantage of an opportunity. But I really don’t have any ill feelings towards her at all.”

Olivera said she “blacked out” during the moment and had some bruises the next day. “After the wine was thrown, she threw the wine glass and it shattered on my chest,” she told US Weekly. “I’m like, ‘What the f***? Like, are you kidding me?’ And so, the truth is the next day, I saw bruises — like I had bruises.”

Summer House Season 6 premieres on Monday, Jan. 17 at 9/8c on Bravo.

Who Is Alex Wach? Meet the ’Summer House’ Season 6 Newcomer

]

A warm welcome! The new season of Summer House is shaping up to be the most ambitious yet with several new cast members and crossover appearances from Southern Charm stars.

In the trailer for season 6, viewers watched Lindsay Hubbard celebrate her single status by exploring her chemistry with Austen Kroll, Carl Radke and newcomer Alex Wach. Although Alex’s scenes from the show are kept scarce in the sneak peek, he does share a kiss with Lindsay at a party.

“I’m a free agent. Accepting all applications,” the publicist tells Kyle Cooke and Danielle Olivera. “I can’t help that I have butterflies and rainbows flying out of my vagina.”

According to Bravo, Alex was originally born in Hong Kong before he moved to the United States when he was a child. The fitness instructor has lived in New York since he was young and he has a commitment to “eating healthy, working out and looking good.”

As fans prepare to watch Alex form a connection with Lindsay on Summer House, Carl confirmed to Us Weekly ahead of the season’s debut that he is now dating his longtime friend.

“I’m happy to report, we are dating and things are really good,” the Loverboy vice president of sales exclusively told Us on January 11. “We’re very happy. She’s someone that’s been an incredible support and part of my life [for years].”

Carl noted that their decision to take their platonic relationship to the new level came after they spent time with the rest of the Summer House crew.

“The bond we have over these summers and over our life — the last six, seven years — is unmatched,” he added at the time. “There’s just been more feelings. We hang out all the time. I can’t tell you how many friends of ours have said, ‘Oh, what about, you know, like, deep down, always wondering [about] me and Lindsay.’ And I ran from that for some reason. I was scared cause dating your best friend really freaking scary.”

For the Pennsylvania native, watching Lindsay having fun with Austen and Alex wasn’t the most appealing part of season 6.

“Obviously, I was very aware even going into the summer. I knew Lindsay and Austen were very close,” he explained. “I’ve always wanted Lindsay to be happy. I am protective of her, but also, she’s an adult. She can have her fun and I wanted her to have the best summer she could have because — based on both of our previous summers — I think we were all needing to let loose a little bit.”

Although the experience may be “a little tough,” Carl clarified that he wasn’t sweating the small stuff.

“I always try to tell myself, like, ‘OK, yeah, these things happen, but where are we right now in this very moment?’ [I like to] be present to some degree,” he noted. “Yes, the show was filmed six, seven months ago, but I try to remain present and just remember where we are right now. I mean, we all have previous relationships, we’ve all had makeouts or hookups that have been on this show. So, it’s like, ‘What’s another one?’”

Summer House premieres on Bravo Monday, January 17, at 9 p.m. ET.

‘Summer House’s Carl Radke on Filming Sober, His Housemates’ Partying and That ‘Ugly’ Wine Toss (Exclusive)

]

Carl Radke is still sending it, just sober. The Summer House star filmed the entirety of season 6 (shot in the summer of 2021) fully committed to not drinking, a feat for a show largely built around partying hard on the weekends.

“Early on, I think, you’ll see me struggle a little bit,” Carl confesses to ET over video chat. “I won’t give away the theme, but we had a theme party that I was just like, ‘I don’t know about that one…’ for various reasons, but I used to get really drunk for our theme, so I didn’t give a s**t what it was. So now it’s like, ‘Do I really want to wear that?’ But I grew some self-esteem. I grew confident as I had more experience because this was all new ground in the Hamptons for me. My relationship with South Hampton and Montauk has been, like, Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night, ’til four in the morning, go, go, go, where this time, at the parties, I was able to enjoy it more for what it was.”

“I was cooking, grilling out and helping, being supportive, but also talking to more interesting people and having better conversations,” he shares. “Also, knowing when to leave the party or seeing the drama unfold going, ‘Ah, I’m going to go over here…’ So it gave me control. It gave me a little protection layer, being sober.”

Carl’s been a main cast member of Summer House since its inception nearly seven years ago. Season 5 saw him attempt living a sober lifestyle, but the unexpected death of his brother, Curtis, to a drug overdose mid-filming sent him into a bit of a spiral. Cut to a year later and Carl stepped into the Hamptons share house with his TV roommates at six months sober. He recently celebrated a full year of sobriety and, in some way, Carl says the show keeps him accountable to himself.

“Honestly, thinking back to how scared I was – season 4 was about to come out and I knew that I, I mean, I’d had conversations with a lot of my close friends, family, like, ‘Dude, you needed some help. You got some problems. For real,’” he recalls. “And watching season 4 back was probably the hardest season to watch back for sure, because it really leans into what I was struggling with is my drinking and my partying.”

“I’m just so proud of the fact that I was able to accept that I knew I had an issue, but that acceptance takes some time,” he says. “Season 4, when it was airing, I was depressed. I was sad. I didn’t even watch some of those episodes when they came out. I would turn off my Twitter and Instagram because there’s a party where I kicked [then co-star Jules Daoud] out. I was just a disaster and a**hole. I regret a lot of that.”

Embracing the realities of those messier moments and being honest about his struggles has only made the audience relate to and buy into Carl more. He says he never expected to become a role model for sobriety when he was just trying to figure his own stuff out.

“People came out of the woodwork and were like, ‘Dude, I can’t believe you shared that. It makes me relate. It helped me.’ I never thought in a million years that me helping myself would actually help others,” he says. “I thought just, ‘Oh, go volunteer at the shelter. Go to a food bank.’ Like, that’s helping others. No, just look in the mirror, Carl. Accept what you were facing. Be honest with yourself about it and present that you’re working on it and sharing your growth and talking about your story because that’s how others get through it.”

Carl jokes he has “a million and a half people” holding him accountable each week, even calling out Instagram gossip aggregator DeuxMoi for its “spottings” round-ups, which often feature sightings of Carl and his co-star/girlfriend Lindsay Hubbard out and about with an asterisk next to his name: “Carl, not drinking.”

Some of that leading by example mentality bleeds over into the house in season 6. While Carl is not drinking, his housemates very much are – and he’s seemingly now hyper aware of just how much they’re consuming.

“I hope that some of my behavior and how I’m evolving and growing can influence them a little bit,” he admits. “Mixing a water in more often, maybe not mixing all sorts of different alcohols, sticking to one thing, maybe not drinking a whole bottle of rosé on the car ride out. I mean, I used to do that, or Twisted Teas or Loverboys. So you’ll see this season, I think, my relationship with Kyle [Cooke] evolves.”

Carl and Kyle are best friends, and also co-workers. Carl is Vice President of Sales for Kyle’s aforementioned canned cocktail line, Loverboy.

“We’re on the same level as friends, and I’m kind of trying to guide him on some of his decision making and trying to kind of just focus him in a little bit,” Carl teases. “You’ll see him, I think the stresses in his life and the pressures he has – that he certainly put on himself – he uses that getting drunk and that let loose as kind of his thing, but there’s other ways to do that that are going to be healthy for his relationship: Working out more. I got him an acupuncture package!”

“I’m like, ‘Dude, you’re stressed the f**k out, you need like to release,’” he adds. “Those are other alternatives than him going out until four in the morning drinking a bunch of Loverboy. I’m just trying to guide him on what’s worked for me, but it’s difficult to kind of go, ‘Well, dude, I don’t know, man…’ I just know he’s someone that when he’s stressed and wants to let loose, there’s nothing going to stop him sometimes.”

One of those moments plays out almost immediately in the season 6 premiere, Kyle out partying until the wee hours while his then-fiancée (now-wife and Loverboy co-worker), Amanda Batula, sits up, unable to get ahold of him. Amanda gets so frustrated that she lashes out, breaking some of his toiletries in their bathroom before throwing his still-packed suitcase out on the front porch.

“What you see in the first episode, Kyle and Amanda will grow from that, I hope,” Carl says. “Definitely it’s a tough season at moments, but I think you’ll see them work through that. But the luggage on the front porch, I still had to chuckle at.”

The season 6 trailer teases a “will they or won’t they?” throughline when it comes to Kyle and Amanda making it down the aisle, but according to Carl, that was never a question for those who know them.

“There were other people in the house, I would say, they thought, yes, but they didn’t have not have the front row seats like I’ve had,” he notes. “They don’t have the daily interactions that I’ve had with Kyle and Amanda. I knew what they were dealing with externally, which name another couple that had been trying to get married for almost three years, filmed a spinoff show in Vermont [Winter House], running a business, foster dogs, getting married, they live together in this smaller apartment and work together. I just have a lot more understanding of the challenges.”

“I give them a lot of credit for opening up their relationship to us and the world,” he continues. “They’ve been a huge part of our show and their journey. I’m sure every couple that watches Summer House is going to see that fight and go, ‘We might have had a fight like that at some point and just no one else sees it.’”

“I do remember kind of being like, ‘Let’s support these guys,’” Carl recalls. “Yes, there’re some challenges and everybody has something to say, but the people have a lot to say aren’t in relationships, have never been engaged… they can talk about marriage, but they’re not in that same conversation. So the people that have opinions about where they are, don’t have healthy relationships either. So I try to reel people in and be like, guys, we love them. We care about them. Let’s get them into the finish line.”

That finish line is the part of the season Carl is most looking forward to, seeing as he officiated Kyle and Amanda’s big day.

“It was an incredible day filled with tons of love and friendship and excitement,” he says. “They were the happiest I’ve ever seen them. Amanda looked unbelievable. Kyle looked incredible. Families were together. It was a really special day and I was a big part of that.”

The wedding plays out at season’s end, with a lot to unfold beforehand. The ball on season 6 was already in motion thanks in part to Winter House, the ski-themed spinoff the majority of the cast filmed in between seasons 5 and 6 of Summer House. Carl sat out the Winter House, though, as the group filmed the show as the Summer House episodes about Carl’s brother’s death aired on TV. Carl didn’t want to put himself in a situation where partying would be an easy copy mechanism for reliving that trauma.

“Listen, when I wasn’t in Vermont, I definitely was like, ‘S**t, I kind of wish I was there,’” he now says. “It felt different because I’ve been part of this show since the beginning. To not be in the same room with Kyle and Lindsay and Amanda and whoever else, it just felt weird because I feel like I’m a big part of that, but I also knew it was more important for me to take care of myself, but I heard a lot of what’s going on.”

“That first weekend [filming Summer House] definitely felt the energy of the group had shifted a little bit,” he adds. “Ciara [Miller] was a lot more confident because she had spent a lot more time with everybody building those relationships. Paige [DeSorbo] has certainly come out of her shell a ton in the last year and a half. Well, she still hangs out in her room, but I think her opening up more on our program is huge. Her relationship with Craig [Conover], or with Andrea [Denver], I personally love seeing that because we haven’t seen… You don’t meet [her ex-boyfriend Perry Rahbar], you didn’t meet some of the guys in the past. You only saw me in the makeout in the pantry. So I think it’s been great for her to come out of the shell.”

“I think Winter House was important for that,” Carl continues. “It gave them kind of some new legs and some new different people to meet, but that first weekend I was like, ‘Wait, am I even friends with these guys?’ Because I missed out on all the inside jokes in Vermont, and then when Craig and Austen [Kroll] came, there’s the Vermont clique a little bit, but I don’t really care. I was happy they got to have a good winter trip, but watching it back, I wouldn’t have been you the right person for that trip.”

Southern Charm stars Craig and Austen definitely shook things up for the Summer House bunch, with Craig now in a pretty serious relationship with Paige and Austen creating a love triangle between himself, Lindsay and Ciara.

“Certainly our show, we have a big group of people this summer and some people that visit really stir it up and that may be great TV, but some of those weekends where the things got stirred up, it was a lot,” Carl teases. “There was definitely an air of uncomfort, and I still have a pair of white pants that are ruined because of all the red wine.”

Carl’s referencing a much-hyped moment from the trailer, which finds Ciara and Lindsay’s BFF Danielle Olivera in a wine-slinging fight over Austen.

Bravo

“It was a very intense moment,” Carl says. “There was wine spilled, there was broken glass. It was one of those moments where I was like, holy st. It kind of transcended everything we had done so far. We’ve had my drunken ‘More life!’ dinners. I’ve been told, ‘Fk off,’ I’ve got a cake in the face, I’ve been told all– it’s never gotten, at least amongst the girls, physical in a place where it felt like they were actually going to go even further than words.”

“I don’t know, I wish sometimes our group could kind of understand why they’re actually fighting,” he laments. “Clearly they were fighting about one person, Austen], for the situation that was kind of growing out of all this Lindsay, Ciara and Austen stuff. Danielle’s an incredible friend to Lindsay and wanted to be there to support her, because I think that dinner was incredibly uncomfortable.”

Carl sums up the incident as “ugly and unfortunate,” but not representative of the season as a whole. For much of the cast, this was a summer of growth and growing up. Nearly half the cast left the summer in relationships, ready to start their next chapters.

“Paige and Craig are having their little thing, and me and Lindsay are starting to have this bond,” he notes. “And Kyle and Amanda finally got married. There’s still so much more to go, but it was just a really nice way to, I think finish off the season.”

“There’s definitely life changes that were going to happen naturally,” Carl says. “I’m glad it’s happened organically and authentically. It’s not like we’re forcing ourselves to get married; it just seems like people are in that right moment to get into a relationship. But I’d love to see that growth of the relationship. I mean, Paige and Craig, I’d love to see how they’re doing a year in. I’d love to see Kyle and Amanda a year in to their marriage.”

For that, fans will have to wait for season 7. For now, check out season 6 of Summer House, airing Mondays on Bravo at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Are Hannah and Des still together?

Fans of Summer House would be thrilled to know that Hannah and Des from the show are still together.

From the looks of it, the couple is busy planning their wedding for the past few months.

Back in October 2021, Hannah, 30, confirmed she and her fiancé were “wedding planning.”

“It’s going to be May 2022. I’m going a little non-traditional with it,” the comedian revealed. Dishing out the details, Hannah reportedly revealed this during an episode of TVTalk, “We’re going to have the wedding in the Hamptons which will be fun by the beach.”

As fans might remember, Hannah and her fiance, Des (46), got engaged on Valentine’s Day 2020, only a few months after starting their relationship.

When were the two on the Bravo show?

Despite being ready to walk down the aisle, Hannah and Des’ social media features very few pictures of them together. The comedians mainly prioritize posting stuff related to their careers.

Hannah starred in the tumultuous season 3 of Summer House. The star found herself in the midst of a load of drama with the other cast members in the 2019 season.

However, the couple was back on in the 2021 season of the show, where they spent the most time together rather than with the large group of cast members.

A look at Summer House season 6

Cast members Ciara Miller, Lindsay Hubbard, Kyle Cooke, Paige Desorbo, Luke Gulbranson, Amanda Batula, Danielle Olivera and Carl Radke are back for Summer House season 6.

This time, the cast is joined by Winter House alum Andrea Denver and newcomers Alex Wach and Mya Allen.

Besides the regular cast, Southern Charm‘s Craig Conover and Austen Kroll, who both also starred on Winter House, will be making guest appearances throughout the show this season.

The trailer shows some tension brewing between Amanda, 30, and Kyle, 39, as the couple prepares for their September wedding.

Elsewhere in the trailer, we also see a love triangle between the cast. The first one is between Paige, Andrea and Craig. We know now that Paige and Craig are a couple. But, it wasn’t the case while filming.

There’s some drama around Lindsay, Ciara and Austen as well.
