Jesse Solomon shaded Lexi Wood during a recent interview, claiming she was never really his girlfriend.
Although Jesse, 31, asked Lexi, 27, to be exclusive amid filming on the ninth season of Summer House last year, he told New York City journalist Adam Glyn that she was “not [his] girl” as he downplayed the relationship they shared just months ago, dished on his friendship with Ciara Miller, 29, and confirmed Paige DeSorbo‘s split from Southern Charm cast member Craig Conover, 36, was discussed at the season nine reunion.
“[She’s] not my girl … We were never really boyfriend/girlfriend, but yeah, she’s … I hope she’s doing great,” Jesse told Adam earlier this week while in the Big Apple for the NBCUniversal Upfronts.
Meanwhile, during a separate interview with Life & Style on May 13, Jesse detailed his relationship with Ciara after being spotted with his castmate at Coachella last month.
“We weren’t there together, but we just met up and partied a little bit and she was actually in Miami over the weekend we were together,” Jesse explained. “Ciara’s just a friend. And she’s becoming a pretty good friend, which is nice.”
Although he admitted that he and Ciara are still “flirty,” he insisted they were only “friends” and have “never crossed that line.”
“We text and FaceTime and keep in touch and hang out and that’s what friends do,” he clarified.
Then, looking ahead to a potential 10th season, Jesse predicted the series would return.
“I think it’d be crazy for Summer House to not do a season 10. I mean, they’re casting, so whether there’s a show or not, you’ll find me in the Hamptons,” he shared.
Also speaking to Life & Style, Jesse teased the season nine reunion.
“Paige goes into detail about her breakup with Craig,” he confirmed. “You’ll have to see the reunion to figure out what happened, but Paige is pretty convincing.”
According to Jesse, he wasn’t in the know about Paige, 32, and Craig’s issues until he watched the show play out with the rest of the audience.
“I wasn’t kept in the loop about the Paige and Craig stuff, so it’s kind of interesting having seen from an outsider’s perspective and then what was actually going on,” he stated. “I obviously watch the show, but one time max. I don’t rewatch it. When they send us the episode, I’ll just quickly skim through. Believe it or not, it’s actually pretty tough to watch yourself.”
Summer House season nine airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
