Lexi Wood is revealing more details about her whirlwind romance with Summer House castmate Jesse Solomon.
Though the model is new to the cast, it didn't take long for her to warm up to Jesse in Season 9. By the end of their first weekend in the Hamptons, it seemed like these two were on a fast-track to becoming exclusive. But was it Lexi or Jesse pushing their foot on the gas pedal? It depends who you ask.
"I told him, I was like, 'Look it, I'm an old-school girl. As much as you're telling me that you're exclusive with me, I want a little prom-posal type vibe," Lexi admitted on the Summer House After Show.
However, she notes that Jesse was also coming on strong in those early days. "He told me as soon as we met that we're exclusive. He like wanted me to go to his family reunion with him the week that we met. Like, it was a whole thing," she shared.
And Jesse isn't denying that he may have rushed into things. "I don't like girls often, but when I do ... " he said, trailing off.
Still, Paige DeSorbo, Ciara Miller, and Amanda Batula can't help but wonder if Jesse made things exclusive because that's the only way Lexi would sleep with him. In earlier episodes, Lexi told him that she's a "relationship-sex girl," essentially cutting off the possibility for a summer fling.
"His options were to be exclusive with her and have sex with her or not to talk to her at all," Amanda said of what Jesse told them.
Paige said she's been there and done that so she doesn't fault Lexi, but recognized "you really don't need to do that if it's supposed to be."
For his part, Jesse said that he asked Lexi to be his girlfriend because "that was just the direction our relationship was heading." Plus, he saw how West Wilson was with Ciara last summer and he thought to himself, "I want that."
But, perhaps most important, was the fact that Jesse didn't want Lexi to hook up with other people. "That's for sure," he added.
Just before Lexi and Jesse made things official, Jesse had his toe sucked by one of the two girls Imrul Hassan hooked up with at the cast's recent house party. This bit of information was revealed by Imrul at Carl Radke's Soft Bar launch party and later shared with Lexi at a kickball game.
Naturally, Lexi was enraged. "You were making it seem like I'm some crazy, jealous girl when, like, you let a random girl suck your toe," she said when she confronted him.
On the March 26 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Jesse admitted that this interaction was a mistake, but he just had his toe sucked, which Imrul confirmed: "He got his toe sucked and then just left right away. He was like, 'That's too much.'"
