Ben Waddell Departs Summer House After Debut Season

The 39-year-old model and reality television personality has confirmed his departure from Bravo's Summer House as the network prepares for its 11th season.

Waddell's announcement came Monday, June 29, marking the latest cast shakeup for the reality series. His girlfriend Sabrina Belle will not be returning to the show either.

"Ben and Sabrina had the greatest time last summer. There's so much love that exists between the friend group, and the entire Bravo family," a statement from Ben's team provided to Deadline read. "As for the future, time will tell. They're looking forward to what's ahead."

The departure comes after Waddell's first season with the show. He joined Summer House for season 10, which was filmed during the summer of 2025 in the Hamptons. Prior to his time on the Bravo series, Waddell appeared as one of the bachelors on The Bachelor Australia Season 11 in 2023.

Waddell's exit announcement arrived on the same day that fellow cast member Amanda Batula revealed she too would be stepping away from the series before season 11 launches. Batula's decision to leave follows the emergence of her relationship with castmate West Wilson, which had drawn attention from viewers and the media. Wilson had previously become the first cast member to announce his departure following season 10.

Meanwhile, questions about another cast member's future remain in flux. A Bravo executive recently commented on Ciara Miller's status with the show as she currently participates in filming for season 8 of Love Island USA in Fiji.
