Television personality Carl Radke, known for his role on the reality series “Summer House,” is embracing a joyful and relaxed approach to summer relationships. Recently partnering with Coffee Mate to promote their new Situation-Sip Mixed Fruit Flavoured Creamer, Radke uses the campaign to share his personal philosophy on casual connections and living in the moment.
In a candid discussion, Radke refers to his current state as a carefree “situationship,” remarking, “I’m in my kind of single, fun era.” He elaborates that this summer, he is not looking for anything too serious, stating, “Being in a situationship with Situation-Sip… there’s no strings attached.” For him, simplicity and enjoyment are key, and he encourages others to seek the same light-hearted approach this season.
Following the end of his engagement to fellow cast member Lindsay Hubbard in September 2023, Radke recognises the challenges of navigating summer romances. Humourously admitting that he may not be the best authority on the topic, he emphasises the importance of clear communication regarding intentions in casual relationships. “Make sure you’re clear with your intentions in advance,” he advises, highlighting that summer is the perfect time to enjoy freedom and spontaneity.
Radke’s own summer plans include embracing a newfound sense of adventure. He is keen on staying active by “staying out later” and “dancing more,” whilst also remaining open to fresh experiences. Reflecting on his personal growth since becoming sober over five years ago, he expresses eagerness to build new friendships and enjoy exhilarating moments as they come.
The reality TV star’s collaboration with Coffee Mate includes a light-hearted promotional video that playfully depicts the ups and downs of a “situationship.” From sharing cuddly moments to humorous disputes over a watermelon—a nod to an incident from a previous season of “Summer House”—Radke showcases the playful side of modern relationships in a tongue-in-cheek manner. “I’ve had my share of love and loss, but now I’m onto something new,” he quips, adding that his “situationship” with Situation-Sip has been an enjoyable experience.
As a lifelong fan of Coffee Mate, Radke reveals that the new creamer, featuring a blend of strawberry, citrus, and mixed berry flavours, has become a staple in his iced coffee routine. He typically enjoys one cup in the morning and may indulge in another later in the day, ensuring he remains moderate with his caffeine intake.
In addition to his partnership with Coffee Mate, Radke has ventured into the entrepreneurial realm with the opening of Soft Bar, a non-alcoholic café and bar located in Brooklyn. Since its launch in early September 2025, he describes the experience as both “exciting” and “fulfilling.” The venue hosts a range of events, from running clubs to knitting meet-ups, and has quickly established a community feel.
“I’m really proud of what we’ve built,” he shares enthusiastically, noting the popularity of their signature drink, the Golden Hour—an appealing, citrusy spritz that he describes as “very crushable, very sessionable.” Radke’s eyes light up when discussing the thriving atmosphere of Soft Bar, expressing optimism for its future as they continue to grow and expand their offerings.
As part of the promotion for the new creamer, Coffee Mate is offering fans a chance to obtain the Situation-Sip Mixed Fruit Flavoured Creamer for free on select dates this month. Residents are encouraged to visit coffeemate.com/situationship to take advantage of this limited-time offer.
In the spirit of summer and casual encounters, Carl Radke continues to advocate for fun, clarity, and spontaneity in relationships, all while enjoying his new partnership with Coffee Mate and the exciting journey that lies ahead with his bar. As he puts it, summer is the perfect time to let loose and embrace whatever the season may bring.
