After ending a heartbreaking engagement with Lindsay Hubbard in September 2023, Carl Radke – the star of the reality show Summer House – surprised fans by publicly expressing his feelings for his co-star Ciara Miller. This revelation not only sparked a frenzy on social media forums but also stirred considerable debate within the show's fan community.
In episode 12 of season 9, during the 'Snooze Fest' party, Carl openly confessed his feelings to Ciara. He did not hide his admiration for her, saying, 'I think you're amazing. I really appreciate you. I have a little crush on you.' This sincere confession left Ciara somewhat taken aback. She gently replied, 'Thank you. I appreciate that.'
Carl went on to emphasize that Ciara is an intelligent, ethical person who genuinely cares about the important things in life. Her nursing career also left a deep impression on Carl. However, what surprised fans the most was the timing of Carl’s confession, considering his breakup with Lindsay Hubbard was still fresh.
As for Ciara, she was visibly flustered by Carl's admission. While maintaining her friendship with him, she expressed that she did not want to jeopardize her bond with Lindsay, her fellow Summer House roommate. 'I really don’t know how to react. I don’t want things to get awkward,' Ciara shared.
For Carl, this is not just a shift in his love life but also a change in his life direction. After parting ways with Lindsay, he has focused on his new business venture – Soft Bar + Café, a non-alcoholic coffee shop set to open in June 2025. According to him, this is a time to renew himself, focus on his mental health, and expand his social circle in a healthy way.
Currently, the relationship between Carl and Ciara remains at the friendship level. While Ciara has not fully opened up to Carl’s affection, fans still hope that after the heartbreaks and turmoil, both will find a new path for their hearts.
In the coming episodes of Summer House, airing Wednesday nights on Bravo and available for streaming on Peacock, fans can continue to follow the latest developments in this relationship.
