Ben Waddell will leave Summerhouse after just one season.
Waddell and his girlfriend Sabrina Bell have exited the reality series ahead of Season 11, Page Six has confirmed.
“Ben and Sabrina had the best time last summer,” Waddell’s team said in a statement. “There’s so much love between our friend group and our entire Bravo family.”
The spokesperson added: “Only time will tell about the future. They are looking forward to what lies ahead.”
Deadline first reported the news.
Waddell, a model from Melbourne, Australia, first gained attention when she starred in Season 11 of The Bachelor Australia, which was canceled in 2023.
On the show, he chose a contestant named McKenna Lee and chose to have an affair with her rather than propose marriage.
Shortly after the final episode aired, the couple announced their breakup.
Waddell joined the main cast of Summerhouse ahead of Season 10, while Bell joined the show midway through the season.
Prior to Bell’s introduction, Waddell told some of the cast that he was “falling more and more in love with this girl every day” and called her “priority number one.”
When Bell finally showed up and got in on the action, she told the cast that she and Waddell first met in March 2025. The two eventually “reunited” after deciding to go their separate ways.
“When I reached out to Sabrina and told her I was thinking about her, she was so open and positive and so ready to go,” Waddell said in a confessional.
“It feels so special that she gave me another chance,” he continued. “Because I realized that I care about her very much, and this is what I want to do. So I’m nervous as hell.”
On the day of the Season 10 finale, Waddell shared an Instagram post reflecting on his experience.
“A lot has happened since last summer, but one thing remains: There’s still a lot of love left in this group 🤍 and that will never change,” he wrote alongside a carousel of images of himself, Bell, and several cast members.
Waddell and Bell’s departures coincide with Amanda Batula’s departure, which was reported on the same day, and West Wilson’s firing earlier this month.
Batula and Wilson made headlines earlier this year with a love scandal that shocked not only their co-stars but the entire Bravo sphere.
Season 10 saw the breakdown of Batula’s marriage to estranged husband Kyle Cook, and the former couple announced their separation in January.
In March, Batula and Wilson admitted to their secret relationship, which they had kept secret from their castmates, including Cook and Ciara Miller, Batula’s former best friend and Wilson’s ex-girlfriend.
Production sources told Page Six that filming for Season 11 of “Summer House” will begin over the Fourth of July weekend.
