Summer House’ Exes Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard Reunite in Uber Eats Instagram Ad

The sponsored Instagram skit leans into a viral “Carl’s a mess” meme to hint at friendlier terms after their 2023 breakup.

Overview

  • Radke and Hubbard posted a joint Instagram video sponsored by Uber Eats that shows Hubbard handing Radke tissues as he appears emotional, with the caption reading “Can confirm, Carl is A MESS.”
  • The ad is staged in a living room with an Uber Eats bag in view, snacks on the table, and Hubbard joking, “Is it soft enough for you?” as Radke clutches a remote under a blanket.
  • Hubbard told commenters she unblocked Radke to make the video, which marks a public step forward after she had blocked him on social media following their split.
  • The spot riffs on a catchphrase that spread after castmate Kyle Cooke said “Carl’s a mess” in an interview, which fueled memes and Loverboy merchandise.
  • The playful reunion follows earlier signs of a thaw, including Hubbard’s visit to Radke’s Soft Bar opening in September 2025 after they called off their November 2023 wedding.
