Lindsay and Carl are Still Together
News broke in late summer that Lindsay and Carl had called off their engagement, just weeks before their much-anticipated Mexico wedding. Lindsay confirmed the news on September 14, 2023, leaving fans shocked and saddened by the sudden turn of events. In a letter to family and friends obtained by PEOPLE, Carl expressed his devastation, stating, “We are not moving forward with the wedding.
The Love Story Rewind
The reality stars first crossed paths while filming the inaugural season of Summer House in 2016. However, their connection was strictly platonic, as both were involved with other people at the time. It wasn’t until the fourth season that sparks flew, leading to a short-lived romance. The rollercoaster of their relationship continued, and they ultimately decided that friendship suited them better.
In 2021, fate intervened at a prom-themed party, rekindling the flame between Lindsay and Carl. In an interview with PEOPLE, Hubbard expressed gratitude for the timing, stating, “I don’t think I’ve ever been in a healthier relationship. Falling in love with your best friend, I don’t think there’s any better feeling in the world.”
The Journey Together
The couple moved in together, providing support during pivotal moments such as Radke’s journey to sobriety and Hubbard’s decision to freeze her eggs. The pinnacle of their romance came in August 2022 when Carl surprised Lindsay with a romantic proposal in Southhampton, a moment documented by Bravo cameras for Summer House’s seventh season.
However, the joy was short-lived as, just a month later, the wedding was called off. The couple’s relationship timeline had taken an unexpected and painful turn.
Trouble in Paradise
During Summer House Season 4, viewers witnessed Radke and Hubbard attempting to transition from friendship to romance. However, things got rocky, leading them to conclude that they were better off as friends.
Lindsay spoke to PEOPLE in February 2020, shedding light on their evolving relationship, stating, “Our friendship chemistry is just so apparent that I think a lot of people were sort of waiting for something to happen.”
March 5, 2020, saw Lindsay defending Carl on Instagram, addressing the challenges they faced. “Our expectations were not aligned, which is where it all went wrong,” she shared. Despite the difficulties, both parties moved on, acknowledging the complexities of their evolving friendship.
The Proposal and the Heartbreak
August 27, 2022, marked a significant chapter in Lindsay and Carl’s journey as they got engaged. Radke orchestrated a romantic proposal at Southhampton’s Dune Beach, surprising Hubbard with a 4.02-carat Nicole Rose diamond ring. The blissful moment, captured by Bravo cameras, was set to be a highlight of the upcoming seventh season of Summer House.
However, almost two months after the engagement, the fairy tale unraveled. Longtime friend Kyle Cooke disclosed that the couple had been in constant couples therapy since the early days of their relationship. Despite their efforts, Carl was the one to call off the wedding, leaving both parties devastated.
In retrospect, it seems the couple faced challenges that even therapy couldn’t overcome. The constant need for therapy raised concerns, with Kyle Cooke revealing, “It’s almost like the only time they could communicate on any given week was in therapy.”
Where Are Lindsay and Carl Now?
As of now, Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke have gone their separate ways following the end of their engagement. While the details surrounding their breakup remain private, it’s evident that both parties are navigating their paths post-split.
Despite their rollercoaster romance and the hopes of many fans, Lindsay and Carl are no longer together. Their journey from friends to fiancés may have come to an unexpected end, but both are undoubtedly moving forward with their lives.
