The ‘Summer Vacation’ star said he hopes for “some sort of civil relationship” between him and ex-fiancée Lindsay Hubbard after the couple announced their wedding in September
Carl Radke isn’t ready to think about getting back together with his ex-fiancée Lindsay Hubbard.
During the Bravo2Bravo: Bromance panel at BravoCon in Las Vegas on Saturday, Summer house star, 38, opened up about reconciling with Hubbard after they called off their engagement in September.
“I don’t think it’s going to be a possibility right now,” he said of reuniting with his ex. “I hope that in the future there could be some kind of civil relationship. For now, we’ll go get treatment separately and see what happens.”

The Bravo star also revealed what he’s looking for in a new partner following his split, saying: “Right now I’m still in recovery … ultimately I want a partner, I want a best friend, I want someone I can really be myself with.”
“Obviously, alcohol is not a part of my life. I want someone with whom I can be active, a healthier lifestyle,” he added.
Radke teased that fans will see a new “Carl 1.0” in the upcoming season Summer house. “There’s a guy joining who reminds me a bit of a younger Carl 1.0,” he said. “I know you’re nervous and scared.”

“I’m really just trying to move forward with respect and not make it a bigger deal than it is,” he added.
He said he hopes the new season will provide “some clarity and a little more context to a very difficult situation,” referring to his split with Hubbard.
At BravoCon on Friday, Radke opened up to PEOPLE about the end of his relationship with Hubbard.
“We had a very difficult summer and I think people will see that,” Radke said. “But it just shows the seriousness of the situation when I really felt deep down that I needed to talk to her about where we were in our relationship and moving forward with the wedding.”
The reality star has denied rumors that he called production to film the break-up ahead of their November wedding.
“I didn’t call the production to set her up,” said Radke. “I don’t decide what will be filmed at Letnikovac. I really don’t. I only respond to what is asked.”

Radke said the split was “incredibly emotionally difficult for both of us” and added that, “if there’s a way to make it better in some way, I would.”
It took Radke the last few months, which he called “very challenging and difficult,” to “process and heal.”
“I had to take some space and be quiet,” he continued. “This is the first time I’ve spoken in two months because I wanted to show respect because it’s painful for both of us. There is still some closure and things that I feel will have to be figured out at some point. But I’m just one day at a time. I’m just trying to take care of myself.”
A year after their August 2022 engagement, PEOPLE confirmed in September that Hubbard and Radke had called off their November wedding. Radke announced the news in a letter he shared with family and friends, saying the former couple were “incredibly sorry to all of our guests for the confusion and lack of communication” as they were “left trying to figure out exactly how this all happened before we could even have the opportunity to determine the way forward yourself.”
“There have been many false stories and misunderstandings that have made this even more painful, but unfortunately we are not proceeding with the wedding at this time,” Radke continued in the letter, obtained by PEOPLE. “The fact of the matter is that Lindsay is devastated and I am devastated that this has all happened. I am kindly asking for some patience and grace as we heal and recover as we go through this extremely difficult time.”
