The gossip intensified when fellow cast members Austen Kroll and Rodrigo Reyes added fuel to the fire by liking a post that hinted at the pair’s potential relationship.
The backdrop of this budding romance comes just after Carl Radke’s highly publicized split from Lindsay Hubbard, his co-star on Summer House.

In a twist of irony, just a year after their breakup, Lindsay celebrated her newfound freedom with a dinner party, announcing her pregnancy with a new partner, Turner Kufe.

As for Carl Radke, he has remained relatively private since the end of his engagement. That changed recently when he was spotted looking particularly cozy with Venita at a gathering, an encounter shared by TikTok user @talk_show_lady, who has a knack for uncovering juicy Bravo scoop. The buzz didn’t stop there; according to fan account Queens of Bravo, the likes from Austen and Rodrigo have further piqued audience interest, leading many to question the nature of Carl and Venita’s relationship.
Neither Carl nor Venita have officially commented on the whispers swirling around their supposed romance, leaving fans to speculate and dissect every detail of their online interactions and public appearances. This silence often adds to the allure, creating a compelling narrative for followers who thrive on reality TV relationships.
In reflecting on the past year, Lindsay Hubbard has been candid about her personal journey following her split from Carl. On Instagram, she posted a heartfelt message marking the anniversary of their breakup, expressing how the experience was “one of the most difficult, humiliating & traumatic events” of her life. Yet, she also emphasized her newfound happiness, highlighting her pregnancy and the positive changes she has made in her life over the past year.

As fans dissect the developments and personal narratives of each reality star, the question remains: Are Carl and Venita an item, or is this merely a friendship that fans are eager to turn into something more? The increasing attention from fellow cast members certainly suggests that there’s more than meets the eye.
