A weekend of fan engagement, show announcements, and relationship updates culminated at BravoCon 2025, with a potential new romance between Venita Aspen of Southern Charm and Carl Radke of Summer House taking center stage. The convention also highlighted Radke’s entrepreneurial ventures and the surprising support he received from an unexpected source.
Aspen and Radke Spark Connection
The possibility of a blossoming relationship between Aspen, 32, and Radke, 40, emerged during panels at BravoCon 2025. When asked directly if she would be open to a second date with Radke, Aspen responded affirmatively, prompting enthusiastic cheers from the audience. This followed reports that the two Bravo stars had previously connected.
“I am,” Aspen stated, according to reports from the event.
Radke later elaborated on their history, revealing a pre-existing acquaintance. “She’s beautiful, she’s really cool. We’ve known each other kinda through Ciara. Venita’s actually been at the summer house, like several parties, several seasons ago,” he explained. He added that they had only recently begun to get to know each other better, stating, “But no, Venita and I got to know each other just a little bit more yesterday. So, we’ll see.”
Radke Celebrates Soft Bar Launch, Receives Unexpected Support
Beyond the potential romance, Radke also discussed the opening of his new venture, Soft Bar, and the outpouring of support he received from friends, family, and co-stars. He described the opening day as a resounding success, noting the presence of loved ones.
“It was awesome to get it open. More importantly, like everybody on this stage was there at the opening day, and I was like, it’s amazing to see my friends, my family, my mom was there. Everybody on this stage has been supportive — for them to show up, it was a vibe,” Radke shared.
The most surprising show of support, however, came from his former partner, Lindsay Hubbard. When asked who surprised him the most, a fellow panelist interjected, “Lindsay Hubbard.” Radke confirmed, “I mean, Lindsay showing up was incredible.”
Hubbard Explains Her Support
Hubbard herself addressed her attendance at the Soft Bar opening, explaining her motivation. “Okay, you guys, I always told Carl, like, part of our relationship issues was that I was like, ‘Stop talking about doing something and actually do it.’ And I always told you, if you actually do it, I will come and I will support you, and you actually did it, and I actually came,” she said. This statement underscores a commitment to supporting Radke’s ambitions, even after their romantic relationship ended.
Fans can look forward to seeing more of both Aspen and Radke on their respective shows, with Season 11 of Southern Charm premiering on November 19, and Summer House returning in 2026.
