What happens in the Bravosphere is always exposed at BravoCon.
The 2025 fan convention saw 150 Bravo stars appear in Las Vegas from Friday, November 14, through Sunday, November 16, and during various panels, Watch What Happens Live tapings and more, the Bravolebrities were grilled about their hookups within their reality TV world.
And luckily, Us Weekly was there for it all. Keep reading for new romance rumors sparked — including Carl Radke and Venita Aspen — and what various Housewives had to say about their own reported flings. (Here’s looking at you, Jesse Solomon and Erika Jayne!)
What Did Craig Conover Say About Paige DeSorbo at BravoCon 2025?
The fourth annual BravoCon marked the first without Paige DeSorbo, who announced her exit from Summer House ahead of season 10 filming earlier this year. Paige’s ex Craig, however, was front and center to promote season 11 of Southern Charm and was asked about her absence.
“That was a really fun three years and I grew as a person so much,” he said on the Battle of the Sexes panel. “I only have positive memories. … I’m bummed that she’s not here because I know she loves this stuff and enjoyed it, but everyone is on their own journey.”

He added that he doesn’t have a “negative taste in his mouth” when it comes to dating “other Bravo people.”
Later, Andy Cohen poked fun at Craig during his opening monologue at The Bravos.
“Craig Conover is here and ladies, he is single!” he began. “Look at that smile. He’s hot. He’s a jet-setter. He hosts a successful podcast — oh, wait, sorry, those are all words to describe Paige.”
What happens in the Hamptons rarely stays there — at least when it comes to the cast of Summer House and their romances. In fact, some of the show’s biggest stars, including Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke have a history of dating their costars. Lindsay began her time on Bravo during season 1 with then-boyfriend Everett […]
The camera then panned to Craig, who laughed off the comment. He later confirmed Andy gave him a heads-up about the joke. “Oh, it was fine. I thought it was a softball [joke]. Andy texted me last week and said, ‘How hard can I go on you at The Bravos?’ And I said, ‘Honestly, like, eight-and-a-half, nine out of 10.’ Whatever. I’m in a nice place,” he told Decider. “Obviously, Paige is a Bravo legend. The joke is, we were dating for three years. Everybody knew it. But I thought it was nice — as in, there’s a difference between being nice and mean. I was laughing.”
Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard Raise Eyebrows With Friendly Behavior at BravoCon 2025
After calling off their engagement in 2023, things have been icy between the Summer House costars. At BravoCon, however, Us spotted Carl and Lindsay Hubbard being civil — dare we say, friendly — on the red carpet. And during their panel, it was revealed that Lindsay supported Carl at his recent SoftBar opening by attending and gifting him a stuffed animal.
“Part of our issues, I was like, ‘Stop talking about doing something and actually do it. … If you do it, I will come and I will support you,’” Lindsay recalled telling her ex. “And you actually did it and I actually came.”
Kyle Cooke then stirred the pot and suggested Carl was checking Lindsay out during the weekend — telling fans that Carl “got a little excited by her outfit” on Friday — and saying, “Speaking of coming, Carl was checking her out from the back yesterday.”
Lindsay replied by joking, “Carl has not made me come in a while.”
During a different WWHL taping, Lindsay was asked what she missed most about being in a relationship with Carl. While Carl said, “You can say nothing, it’s fine,” as Lindsay debated her answer, she ultimately said, “Our friendship.”
But when asked whether the twosome would ever date again, Lindsay made it clear to Page Six that the answer is no, saying, “Absolutely f***ing not.”
Carl Radke and Venita Aspen Spark Dating Rumors at BravoCon 2025
While he likely isn’t getting back together with Lindsay, Carl did name Venita Aspen as someone he would like to get to know.
“I had a great time hanging out with Venita yesterday,” Carl said on Saturday, revealing that the Southern Charm star has actually been to the Hamptons for cast parties because she’s friends with Ciara Miller. “She’s beautiful, she’s really cool.”
Venita later addressed things at the Southern Charm panel, saying that they went out on a date and hope to go out on a second.
Carl Radke Was Reminded About Comments About Dorit Kemsley at BravCon 2025
Summer House panel moderator Rachel Lindsay reminded Carl that he once said he was open to going out with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley. “I said that?” he replied on Saturday before giving a shout-out to his fellow Bravolebrity. “That cigarette last night was pretty iconic.”

West Wilson was put in the hot seat during the Summer House panel, first being asked about going out with Southern Hospitality’s Mia Alario. “We got dinner in New York,” he said. “I forgot what they were in town for, but a great way to explore New York is to try new restaurants. … I said hi to her yesterday and once today. She’s great.”
Lindsay then chimed in and said, “West was her guide in many ways.”
Mia was asked about the situation during the Southern Hospitality panel — and threw a bit of shade. “I like to call that a business dinner … networking, that’s what we’re calling it now,” she said. “He’s a very, very nice guy, charming, much more handsome in person and a lot taller as well.” She added that the pair are “great friends.”
West Wilson Was Asked About Dating Salley Carson at BravoCon 2025
“I was in Columbia, South Carolina, for work.

“So dodgy,” Lindsay said. “I talked to Salley last. Salley said she had a great night with you.”
Jesse chimed in, “Guy loves Charleston.”

But during an interview with Us on Saturday, Salley dropped a bomb by revealing a secret meet-up with The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys star Steven McBee Jr.
“It was, like, a second,” Salley said of their romantic connection. When her costar Rodrigo Reyes added, “Wow, I bet he’s gonna love to hear that,” Salley laughed.
“No, not like that. I mean, kind of like that,” she replied. “You guys, don’t get me in trouble. … He’s a great guy,” she continued. “He’s amazing, but our personalities didn’t match.”
Alexia Nepola Shuts Down Tom Schwartz’s ‘Crush’ at BravoCon 2025
Months after Tom Schwartz and Alexia Nepola were spotted together in Miami, Andy told the Real Housewives of Miami star that the Vanderpump Rules alum had a little crush. During a panel at BravoCon, however, Alexia shut down the idea of ever dating Schwartz (who does currently have a girlfriend).
“We saw each other at [BravoCon], but no,” Alexia said. “I feel like the Bravo boys, like, kiss and tell. I would never hook up with a Bravo guy.”

It was reported in May that the Summer House star and Erika hooked up. When asked about the situation at his panel, Jesse gave an odd answer.
“Let me just clear this up. We met at the Upfronts. We had a fun, flirty afternoon,” Jesse said. “That’s all I have to say about that.”
After West responded, “So, not clearing it up at all?” Lindsay called Jesse “dodgy AF.”
“I wish there were other Bravolebrities that I was excited about, but it’s Saturday,” he said, asking the crowd for suggestions. When Rachel Lindsay said she heard fans calling out Real Housewives of Potomac’s Ashley Darby, Jesse didn’t seem to know who she is but said, “I’d love an introduction.”
Kyle then reminded Us that Ashley had a past with their former costar Luke Gulbranson. “Ask Luke,” he quipped.

During a WWHL taping on Saturday, there was a flirty moment between the Summer House star and the Southern Charm veteran, who had previously hooked up in the past. Lindsay then hinted that something happened between Austen and another girl, saying, “He had different plans last night.” It’s unclear what she was referring to — and Austen claimed they cleared this up before they got on stage — but Lindsay said someone approached her and his other ex Madison about Austen’s alleged antics in Sin City.
Captain Jason Continues to Deny Heather Gay Hookup at BravoCon 2025
Heather Gay hinted on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City that something went down with the Below Deck Down Under Captain Jason Chambers, but he told a different story in his press, saying they’re just friends.
“Look, she knows I get embarrassed, and she knows I’m a bit sarcastic too.

Ciara Miller Hints at BravoCo 2025 That Something Happens With Jesse Solomon on Summer House Season 10
“This season you’ll see us filter out some of our flirting. We had to filter it, maybe, do some yard work on that,” Ciara said of her connection to Jesse.
While we didn’t get any clarification on what “yard work” means, Jesse added, “Can you blame me? How beautiful and amazing is Ciara?”
Ciara Miller Reveals at BravoCon 2025 That She and West Wilson Mended Fences
It was revealed at their panel that exes Ciara and West had a conversation that was “two years in the making” on season 10 of Summer House.
