00:00Ben Waddell is the latest cast member exiting Summer House ahead of season 11.
00:04Page Six confirms that Waddell, along with his girlfriend Sabrina Bell, have departed the Bravo reality series.
00:10In a statement to Page Six, Waddell's team said the couple had the greatest time last summer,
00:15and that there's so much love between the friend group and the entire Bravo family.
00:19The statement added that, as for our future, time will tell, and said the pair is looking forward to what's
00:25ahead.
00:26Waddell first rose to fame as the lead of season 11 of The Bachelor Australia in 2023.
00:32During the finale, he chose contestant McKenna Leah and decided to pursue a relationship with her instead of proposing.
00:38The couple later announced their split shortly after the season aired.
00:41Waddell joined the main cast of Summer House for season 10, while Bell made her debut later in the season.
00:47Before introducing her to the group, Waddell told his housemates he was falling in love with Bell more every day,
00:53and called her his priority number one.
00:55When Bell arrived, she explained that the two first met in March 2025,
00:59before going their separate ways and eventually reconnecting.
01:02In a confessional, Waddell said he reached back out to Bell to let her know he was thinking about her,
01:07and felt pretty special that she was willing to give him another chance.
01:11He added that he cared about her a lot and wanted the relationship to work.
01:15On the day the season 10 finale aired, Waddell reflected on his experience in an Instagram post,
01:20writing that while a lot happened since last summer, there was still a lot of love within the group that
01:25would never change.
01:27Waddell and Bell's departure comes as Summer House continues to see major cast changes.
01:31Amanda Batula also exited the series the same day, while Wes Wilson was reportedly let go earlier this month.
01:38Those departures follow a headline-making year that included Batula's split from Kyle Cook,
01:43and the revelation that she and Wilson had secretly been in a relationship without telling many of their castmates.
01:49According to sources close to production, filming for Summer House season 11 is expected to begin over the 4th of
01:55July weekend.
