Dustin Lynch confirmed he and Lindsay Hubbard have a “great” relationship — but it’s strictly platonic.
The country music star shared the update on Thursday, June 6, during CMA Fest 2024 in Nashville. Before kicking off his eponymous pool party, Dustin took some time to speak with an Us Weekly reporter, who asked about those old dating rumors involving him and the Summer House cast member.
“Oh, it’s so much — I mean, rumors get started. We’ve been through years of this stuff,” Dustin said with a laugh. “No, we’re great friends. I’m so pumped she’s got a house here [in Nashville] now that’s doing great. She’s making some new friends here in town. It was a great experience to, uh — I haven’t been in the Bravo world ever, but to see what that fanbase is like is intense.”
What sparked the Lindsay Hubbard and Dustin Lynch rumors?
Lindsay and Dustin were romantically linked in late 2023, shortly after Lindsay split from her ex-fiancé, Carl Radke. The dating rumors seemingly stemmed from Lindsay’s November 8, 2023, appearance on the Viall Files podcast, where she was pressed about the kind of guy she was looking for.
“Do you like country singers?” host Nick Viall asked. “Dustin Lynch? He’s on the market.”
“He says hi, by the way,” Lindsay replied with a smirk. “Anyone else?”

Andy Cohen questions Lindsay about mystery “country singer”
The comments, naturally, got the rumor mill running — so much so that Lindsay was asked about a mystery “country singer” on the November 28, 2023, episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
“Well, you know, let’s just say we have bros in different area codes,” said Lindsay, who was in the Clubhouse audience at the time.
“Very good. I like this,” host Andy Cohen said. “I want you to have fun with everybody.”
“I am,” Lindsay said with a laugh.
Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke end their engagement
Lindsay and Carl were set to tie the knot in November of 2023, but the latter called off the engagement just months before the ceremony. Lindsay has maintained she was “blindsided” by the decision, which she described as a “betrayal. But, as seen in Part 1 of the Summer House Season 8 reunion (June 6), Carl wasn’t convinced that his ex was all that heartbroken — at least, not anymore.
“You’re happy now,” Carl said during the tense sitdown. “Lindsay, you’ve been dating someone since January. You have the apartment. I paid half the rent for nine months. I’ve been courteous. I’ve done everything I’ve been legally bound to do. I also paid over $125,000 for the wedding. I took care of the apartment and the wedding. You did not.”
“You took care of the cancellation fees because you canceled!” Lindsay fired back. “Do you want a pat on the back for that?”
Lindsay Hubbard says her new boyfriend is a former flame
Lindsay confirmed she is now in a new relationship, but has kept her beau’s identity under wraps. She spoke about her boyfriend during the May 21 episode of the Bitch Bible podcast, saying she had previously dated him in late 2020.
“He’s wonderful. I actually met him and went out with him three-and-a-half years ago,” she said. “Some of my friends call it a boomerang, where you go out the first time, the timing wasn’t right, and they come back around. So, that’s basically what happened.”
