NBCUniversal Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke on "Watch What Happens Live."
“Summer House” star Paige DeSorbo suggested she thinks her castmate Carl Radke made the correct decision when breaking up with his now ex-fiancee, Lindsay Hubbard, in August 2023.
According to People magazine, DeSorbo and her former “Summer House” co-star Hannah Berner discussed Radke and Hubbard’s split on the October 6 episode of “Vanderpump Rules” personality, Scheana Shay’s podcast, “Scheananigans with Scheana Shay.” DeSorbo stated that she believes the breakup “was a shock to [Hubbard].” She stated, however, that “a lot of things factored into it” and teased that “Summer House” fans will have more clarity as to why Radke ended his relationship once the show’s 8th season airs.
“I think watching the season coming out, the viewer might not be as shocked as the person — the people involved in the relationship were. I think it is just two people broke up,” said DeSorbo.
The fashion influencer also referenced that Radke and Hubbard intended to marry at some point during November 2023.
“In my opinion, I wouldn’t want to walk down the aisle to someone, who in the back of their head is like, ‘I don’t really want to be here.’ So and then the next time you walk down the aisle, like you don’t want to think, ‘Oh he didn’t really want to be there.’ So I think she doesn’t have to compare it to anything and in the long run, he did both of them a favor,” said the 30-year-old.
People magazine reported that Hubbard addressed her breakup in a September 2023 Instagram post. The 37-year-old wrote that it “was not [her] decision” to break up with Radke. She also stated that she has “spent the last couple of weeks finding [her] own closure and peace” following the split.
“I am forever grateful to my best friends who have not left my side, and have been picking up the pieces of my heart and life every day from the fallout,” wrote Hubbard.

Craig Conover Shared His Opinion About Carl Radke Following His Breakup
DeSorbo’s boyfriend and “Summer House” co-star Craig Conover shared his opinion about Radke and Hubbard’s split while speaking to Us Weekly in September 2023. He stated that he does not believe Radke should be villainized for ending his engagement. He asserted that Bravo fans “can’t judge somebody for the end result without all the context.” The “Southern Charm personality clarified that he does not know “what went down between” the former couple before their breakup. The lawyer also shared that he “feel[s] bad for both” Hubbard and Radke. In addition, Conover suggested he believed Radke made the correct decision not going forward with his wedding.
“I think that people that have been in that position and got married and were like, ‘We’ll just deal with it later,’ probably would recommend to people not to do that because I think getting married probably makes things more complicated. So if you are not on solid ground beforehand, you know, you probably shouldn’t do it,” said the Bravo personality.

Hubbard also shared that she believes she had feelings for Radke before they officially embarked on a relationship in early 2022.
