Carl Radke is dipping his toes back into the dating world on Season 9 of Summer House. The Bravo star has been candid about taking time off from dating after his split with Lindsay Hubbard, admitting he hasn’t had sex with anyone in a year.
In Season 9, Episode 6, Carl decided it was time to dust off the dating cobwebs and get back out there. Lindsay took a weekend off from the Hamptons, giving him the perfect opportunity to get his flirt on. He invited a girl he met online named Lil Aronoff to his shipwrecked party. The two engaged in some mildly cringy flirting while wearing pirate outfits. Not your typical first date. Bravo fans were intrigued by the new woman in Carl’s life. If you’re curious to learn more about his new fling, we got you covered.
Here is everything we know about Lil Aronoff.
Lil Aronoff reached out to Carl Radke through DMs
Lil first heard of Carl through her parents, who were seated next to him at a soccer game in 2023. She reached out to him through Instagram DMs in the fall of that year and the two began chatting. The two didn’t meet in person until the summer of 2024 when Carl invited her to the Hampton’s for the group’s fourth of July bash.
“I actually remember seeing her in her bikini going down the waterslide at one point at the Fourth of July party and being like, ‘Oh wow, OK,’” he said on the Summer House After Show.
He invited her back to the house for the shipwrecked party and tested out his rusty flirting skills on her.
What does Lil Aronoff do for work?
Lil is a dancer, fitness instructor, model, and photographer. She currently teaches classes at The Ness, a NYC fitness studio. In addition to her fitness career, she’s signed to the boutique modeling agency Onyx Unity and runs a photography account on Instagram. Her photography account mostly consists of photos of dancers with some other content sprinkled in.
Her Instagram Bio reveals that she graduated from the New York University’s Tisch Department of Dance. According to the NYU Tisch School of the Arts website, the dance program is “very competitive,” accepting less than 25 percent of applicants. Ok Lil! Yes girl!
What do Carl Radke’s Summer House co-stars think of Lil Aronoff?
At the time. Carl’s housemates seemed supportive of his pursuit of Lil. However, the cast shared their true feelings on the Summer House After Show. Paige DeSorbo joked that the two looked like “brother and sister,” while newbie Imrul Hassan implied Carl’s fling was “making eyes” at him during the pirate party. The group said Lil was “nice” but felt she wasn’t the right woman for their friend.
“I think he likes the idea of having someone who is so opposite of Lindsay, but [she’s] way too quirky,” Imrul said. Gabby Prescod said she doesn’t think Lil is the girl for him.
Are Carl Radke and Lil Aronoff still dating?
It appears Carl and Lil are no longer seeing each other. The Bravo star revealed he is single during a January appearance on Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler’s podcast Two Jersey’s Js. He admitted he’s been hesitant to jump back into a public relationship after his split with Lindsay.
“Being a very public person, it presents a layer of challenge sometimes with meeting and dating,” he shared. “So I’ve had some things where people maybe have ulterior motives, or someone I’m interested in just doesn’t want anything to do with this. So it can be either way.”
The 40-year-old may not have found the love of his life yet but he is back on the dating scene.
“I’ve been going on some dates, putting myself back out there,” he told the hosts. “It took me some time to kind of get back to my own, getting my confidence level back … it took me some time to heal.”
Summer House is available to stream on Peacock.
