In a recent conversation with *People* at the Television Academy’s Televerse Festival, Hubbard, 40, and Radke, 41, expressed their excitement about being there for one another during their single journeys. The two, who first crossed paths while filming *Summer House* in 2016, temporarily dated before ultimately deciding in August 2022 to take their relationship to the next level with an engagement. However, it was a heartbreaking turn of events in September 2023 when Radke announced he was ending their engagement, leaving Hubbard “devastated.”
Despite the emotional turmoil, they have managed to establish a healthy rapport. Radke mentioned during their discussion that they even play the role of wingman for one another, relishing the chance to offer dating advice. “We’re trying to help wingman for each other,” he said. Hubbard echoed his sentiments, affirming that the two are now focused on celebrating one another’s companionship prospects.
Radke articulated his desire for Hubbard to find someone who will treat her well. “I want her to be respected and have fun,” he noted, adding a humorous caveat for any potential suitors: “If he messes up, we’ll have some words with him.” This blend of light-heartedness amidst their supportive banter reflects the maturity they have reached in their partnership.
The pair spoke candidly about their preferences in seeking new relationships, revealing that they have never relied on dating applications. “I’ve never used one,” Radke commented, while Hubbard admitted the same. Instead, they prefer meeting new people organically or via social media platforms like Instagram. Radke quipped that Instagram serves similar purposes to dating apps since it typically leads to phone number exchanges—an unconventional yet practical perspective on modern dating.
Both Hubbard and Radke hinted that their reality television fame has attracted attention online, with Radke acknowledging a mix of interest in direct messages. However, he prefers forming connections in person or through mutual friends rather than entertaining unsolicited messages.
Hubbard discussed her transformation following a challenging postpartum period after welcoming her daughter, Gemma Kufe, on December 8, 2024. She noted that it took time for her to feel entirely herself again after a year of adjustments that involved balancing motherhood and obligations to two television shows. By early 2025, she finally felt rejuvenated and ready to embrace a new chapter in her life.
As the pair reflects on their evolving personal lives, they are not alone in their newfound single status—radically, the entire *Summer House* cast will enter Season 11 as single individuals, a first for the series. Radke highlighted that in previous seasons, at least one couple always existed within the group, but this time, everyone is ready to explore their independent lives.
With the upcoming season promising a fresh take, Hubbard and Radke reminisced about Kyle Cooke’s remarks from earlier seasons. Cooke famously stated his opposition to couples in the house, and now, the group is preparing to put that ideology into practice. Radke expressed anticipation for what these changes will bring: “Trust me, it’s fun… and singles should be fun.”
Additionally, the new season will include special events, such as Hubbard’s 40th birthday celebrations, a crossover trip with the cast of *Below Deck*, and new faces joining the house. Hubbard remarked on the excitement surrounding these developments, setting the stage for a unique summer full of fresh beginnings.
With their history behind them, both Hubbard and Radke are fully invested in their respective journeys, cherishing the support they continue to provide each other. As filming for Season 11 progresses, fans of *Summer House* have much to look forward to, with the promise of a light-hearted and entertaining season ahead. All episodes from previous seasons of *Summer House* are currently available to stream on Peacock, while the latest instalments are in production and set to delight viewers in the near future.
