Ben Waddell is leaving Summer House. According to Deadline, the model and television personality will not return for Season 11 after joining the Bravo reality series in Season 10.
He and his girlfriend Sabrina Belle, who also appeared on the show, have decided to exit the franchise.
Details on the split remain sparse. Sources close to the situation suggest the couple had a positive experience during their time on the show. A statement released by producers read: "Ben and Sabrina had the greatest time last summer. There's so much love […]" The message did not explicitly detail reasons for their departure.
This exit marks another shift in the Summer House roster, which has seen significant cast changes over its decade-plus run. Fans reacted on social media, with responses split between those wishing the couple well and those curious about what prompted the one-season decision.
New cast members sometimes test a single season before deciding whether the lifestyle suits them. Whether Ben and Sabrina wanted to step back from the reality TV spotlight or if behind-the-scenes factors played a role remains unclear.
Summer House Season 11 will premiere without the couple as Bravo continues to adjust its castings across its reality franchises.
