Jesse Solomon is seemingly celebrating his return to Summer House season 11 — and he has big hopes for his romantic future.
“Serious question, do we think this is the summer that I finally find love in the Hamptons?” Jesse, 33, said in a Friday, July 3, TikTok video while driving his car to the New York hotspot. “I hope so!”
Further punctuating his point, Jesse wrote, “Fingers crossed” over the video.
Bravo’s Summer House follows a group of friends’ staying at a shared rental house in the Hamptons. Us Weekly confirmed last month that Jesse is set to return for season 11, while costars Amanda Batula, West Wilson, Levi Sebree and Ben Waddell have all been left off the lineup.
Bravo has not publicly confirmed the rest of the new cast, which could also include returning favorites Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Kyle Cooke, Ciara Miller, Mia Calabrese, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan, Bailey Taylor and any potential newcomers.
West, 31, and Amanda, 34, in particular were cut from Summer House season 11 after their viral romance scandal. The duo confirmed in March that they started dating, two months after Amanda’s separation from husband Kyle, 43.
“We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” West and Amanda’s joint statement read. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

They continued, ““As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
While West and Amanda denied any relationship overlap, the news especially blindsided Ciara, 30, who was Amanda’s close friend and West’s ex. The group all reunited for the cast’s emotional season 10 reunion, where West and Amanda’s attempts to clear the air only further divided the group.
Weeks after the reunion aired, Us Weekly reported that West wouldn’t be a main cast member in the new episodes.
“I wanted to tell it on my own but that [exit news] is true,” he revealed via social media late last month. “In [Bravo’s] defense, I don’t think it would have been a fun summer.”
Amanda, who also stars on the network’s In the City spinoff, has not publicly addressed her departure.
