So, you’re curled up on the couch, watching the Summer House crew scream over a spilled seltzer, and you suddenly wonder: how old are these beautiful disasters, anyway? Are they seasoned professionals in their prime, or are we watching a bunch of college kids who just borrowed their parents’ Hamptons beach house? The answer, my friend, is a glorious, chaotic mess of ages that makes zero sense on paper.
Let’s start with the OGs, because they’ve been doing this since dinosaurs roamed the Earth (or, you know, 2017). Kyle Cooke, the human tornado who loves a business plan and a keg stand, is currently 42. Yes, you read that right. He’s old enough to be a dad to some of the newer cast members—and honestly, he acts like one when he’s not projectile vomiting after a Jell-O shot. Meanwhile, his wife Amanda Batula is a cool 33, which means their age gap is exactly “let’s start a lemonade stand and also a sweater line” energy.
Then you’ve got Carl Radke, who is 38 and looking like he just walked out of a Patagonia catalog after a sobriety-fueled spa day. He’s the wise elder now, but remember when he was the guy who couldn’t hold a job or a relationship? Aging is wild. Also at the grown-up table: Lindsay Hubbard, who is 38 and has the emotional stamina of a marathon runner who also carries a sledgehammer. She’s been through more breakups than Taylor Swift, and she’s still the main character. That takes serious years of practice.

Now, let’s talk about the babies of the house. Paige DeSorbo is 31, which feels impossible because she gives off “I’m 27 and I’ve already planned your wedding” vibes. But her boyfriend Craig Conover from Southern Charm is 35, so at least she’s dating someone who can legally rent a car. Speaking of shockers: Ciara Miller, the model nurse who could snap you in half with her abs, is just 29? How is that possible? She has the emotional intelligence of a 45-year-old therapist and the dance moves of a 22-year-old at a rave. Can’t explain it.
And then there’s the “new blood” that makes you feel ancient. Jesse Solomon is 28, and he still thinks partying until 6 a.m. is a personality trait. West Wilson is also 28, which tracks because he has the energy of a golden retriever who just discovered Instagram. Meanwhile, Gabby Prescod is 29, and she’s already more mature than half the cast combined. The math is simple: the younger they are, the more chaos they bring. It’s a direct correlation, folks.
‘Summer House’ Season 7: Everything to Know | Us Weekly
Here’s the surprising fact: the average age of the main cast is around 33. So if you’re sitting at home at 33, eating popcorn in your pajamas, you are literally the same age as the people screaming about who hooked up in the bad room. You are not old; you are just not on reality TV. And that’s a blessing. Imagine having to do a confessional at 8 a.m. after a three-day bender. Nightmare fuel.
So, next time you watch Summer House, remember: it’s a beautiful blend of 20-somethings who party like they’re immortal and 30-somethings who party like they’re rebelling against their 401(k)s. They’re all aging in dog years, but somehow, they make it look like the most fun midlife crisis you’ve ever seen. Cheers to the wrinkles, the hangovers, and the sheer audacity of it all.
