Dibman claimed that Radke had not informed her of his romance with Hubbard. (The Bravolebrities previously gave dating a shot during summer 2016.)
The blond bombshell told us, “I’ll say I was surprised I didn’t get any texts saying, ‘Hey, so Lindsey and I are together.'”
“I don’t get a single message like, ‘Hey, I hope you’re okay,’ I think it says a lot about his feelings for me and how sincere they were at the end. But I will say it was a wonderful time when I was in it – even if the following months were pretty confusing for me.”

Debman told Page Six that much of her relationship with Radke reflects the precipitous bliss she experienced during her first stint on the dating show.
“Our first date, we went to the Yankees game, and then we walked all over the place [New York City]Then we went to dinner, then we went and got ice cream and then we sat on the roof. So we did it all on one date. But that’s what our histories have been like.”
