It was a summer romance for Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke — a Summer House romance, that is.

The Bravo stars met while filming the show's first season in 2016, however, things were strictly platonic between the two as they were both dating other people at the time. The duo had a short-lived romance during the fourth season before they ultimately decided that they were better off as friends. Sparks flew once again in 2021, thanks to a prom-themed party where they rekindled their relationship.

Hubbard and Radke have both spoken about how their close friendship paved the way for an eventual romance and provided a good foundation for their relationship.

"We're lucky because eventually, the universe came together and the timing worked out!" Hubbard shared with PEOPLE. "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."

Since reconnecting, the couple have moved in together and supported each other through major life events, including Radke's sobriety journey and Hubbard's decision to freeze her eggs.

In August 2022, Radke surprised Hubbard with a romantic private proposal in Southhampton, a moment that was captured by Bravo cameras for Summer House's seventh season.

From their early days as Bravo costars to their engagement, here's everything to know about Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke's relationship.

"We have gotten closer throughout the years and especially after a couple of summers ago and then fall, winter, spring, we just kept getting closer and closer and then we both wound up single at the same time, which I don't think has ever really happened," said Hubbard. "But our friendship chemistry is just like so apparent that I think a lot of people were sort of waiting for something to happen."

"Our expectations were not aligned, which is where it all went wrong."

Hubbard continued, "He owned his sh– and we have both moved on. It took some time and you will continue to see this play out of course. This is a long season, with 14 episodes, and we're only on episode 5. A LOT happens this season, trust me!"
