Has Carl Radke moved on from his trainwreck of a relationship with Lindsay Hubbard?
Rumors are making the rounds that the Summer House star went out with Bachelor alum Maria Georgas following his and Lindsay’s split.
But don’t get too excited. Both Maria and Carl are denying they even know each other, much less are dating. Maria even went so far as to post Keke Palmer’s viral TikTok video featuring her “sorry to this man” moment.
Maria implies that “I don’t know who this man is” in relation to Carl
On February 5, Maria shared the video to her Instagram Stories, with the implication that she doesn’t know Carl.
As Keke says in her clip, “I don’t know who this man is. He could be walking down the street, I wouldn’t know a thing.” Of course, she was speaking about former VP Dick Cheney, while Maria was seemingly denying any relationship with Carl.
After Carl and Lindsay broke up in August 2023, there were rumors of Carl moving on with various women, one of whom was Maria. Allegedly, he and Maria were seen together at Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval’s LA bar TomTom.
In an interview with Nick Viall on his Viall Files podcast, Carl vehemently denied ever having met Maria. “I don’t know who Maria from The Bachelor is,” he swore. “Hand to God, I’ve never met her, and I don’t know what she looks like. You could hold up four pictures of people, and I wouldn’t know [which one she was].”
Maria hoped to get Joey’s final rose on The Bachelor Season 28
The Canadian actress first came to our attention when she spoke French to Bachelor Joey Graziadei in Season 28. She seemed to be a frontrunner until Joey eliminated her following their hometown date.
Some fans hoped Maria would be the next Bachelorette, but that role went to Jenn Tran, a Vietnamese American physician assistant student. Jenn was proudly proclaimed Bachelor Nation’s first Asian Bachelorette.
During a May 2024 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Maria claimed that she was offered The Bachelorette job but ended up backing out. “I was offered the role,” she said. “It was mine until I said it wasn’t. It became very overwhelming to the point where I had to decline.”
Following her induction into Bachelor Nation, Maria has been romantically paired with various men on social media. Besides Carl, there were rumors that she dated troubled SNL star Pete Davidson. She reportedly dated him before he checked into a wellness facility seeking treatment for his mental health in July 2024.
But the Toronto native wasted no time responding to those allegations. “[I] never dated Pete. False rumor!” she shared on her Instagram Stories. “I’m friends with his sister [Casey Davidson]. Case closed. Just spoke to his sister. He’s not in rehab and has been sober for months. Can’t believe this sh*t. It’s very insulting to his recovery and my mental health. He’s literally home.”
Summer House airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo, while The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8/7c on ABC.
