Just as Summer House Season 9 was getting underway, newbie Bailee Henderson, sadly, missed a couple of weekends in the Hamptons. The good news, however, is that Bailee is back on Summer House — and she made up for lost time by dropping a major bombshell.
Returning in Episode 8 for Carl Radke‘s Soft Bar launch event in New Jersey and then the “Besties and Chesties” kickball game in New York City, Bailee took some time to catch up on all the tea with Paige DeSorbo, Lindsay Hubbard, Gabby Prescod, and Lexi Wood. After Lindsay revealed her suspicions about Carl cheating, Paige said she had some “gossip” of her own involving Imrul Hassan and Jesse Solomon.
“Last weekend at the party, Imrul had a threesome,” Paige revealed, after which Lindsay interjected, “And then I found out that Jesse wanted to watch.”
That’s when Bailee chimed in with, “Yeah, and he got his toe sucked.”
Clearly in shock, Lexi (aka Jesse’s newly exclusive love interest) asked, “Jesse got his toe sucked?! Who said that he got his toe sucked?”
“Jesse said. And Imrul,” Bailee answered during her brief reappearance.
Bailee Henderson’s Summer House Season 9 absence, explained
As it turns out, Bailee may have been having some relationship drama of her own, too.
Though she brought a guy’s suitcase with her to the Hamptons in the Season 9 premiere, the nanny and influencer wouldn’t say the two were dating. By the second episode, Bailee revealed that she and the mystery man were experiencing some tension, and he wouldn’t be visiting the Hamptons share house anytime soon.
Then, in Episode 4, West Wilson noticed Bailee was conspicuously absent for the group’s weekend kickoff toast. When he asked if anybody knew where she was, Lexi, who lives near Bailee in NYC, replied, “Oh, Bailee’s not here this weekend,” before adding, “I think she’s having boyfriend issues.”
Ciara, for her part, responded with a knowing “Ohhh.”
What is Bailee Henderson’s relationship status now?
Though Bailee told Jesse she was single during the Season 9 premiere, the comments that followed painted a slightly more complicated picture of her relationship status. “I’m kind of talking to this guy back in the city,” she explained, “We’re not serious, though.”
Still, they were serious enough that Bailee borrowed his suitcase the summer, but as she joked, “I didn’t realize it had a f–king AirTag in it!”
However, Bailee has yet to reveal if she and the man ever worked things out — much less made their relationship official — during her break from the Hamptons.
While you wait to see if Bailee offers any clarity on her romantic situation, don’t miss all the other relationship drama still to come on Summer House Season 9, by checking out the midseason trailer.
