Ben Waddell<\/strong> and his girlfriend, Sabrina Belle<\/strong>, will not be returning to Summer House<\/em><\/a> after 1 season on the show.<\/p>\n

A source confirmed to Us<\/em> that The Bachelor Australia<\/em> alum Ben, 39, and Sabrina, 29, are departing the Bravo show as part of a larger cast overhaul. (Deadline<\/a> was the first to report the news.)<\/p>\n

\u201cBen and Sabrina had the greatest time last summer. There\u2019s so much love that exists between the friend group, and the entire Bravo family,\u201d a spokesperson for the couple confirmed to Deadline on Monday, June 29. \u201cAs for the future, time will tell. They\u2019re looking forward to what\u2019s ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Us<\/em> has reached out to representatives for Ben and Bravo for comment.<\/p>\n

Ben rose to fame on The Bachelor Australia<\/em> in 2023, and later joined Summer House<\/em> in 2025 alongside fellow newcomers Mia Calabrese<\/strong>, KJ Dillard<\/strong>, Dara Levitan<\/strong>, Levi Sebree<\/strong> and Bailey Taylor<\/strong>. Sabrina recurred in the latter half of season 10.<\/p>\n

News of Ben\u2019s Summer House<\/em> exit comes on the same day as Us<\/em> confirmed that Amanda Batula<\/strong><\/a> was \u201cnot invited back to season 11,\u201d<\/a> per a source. The insider indicated that producers want season 11 to focus on \u201corganic relationships with the rest of the cast\u201d and with Amanda, 34, on the outs with the majority of the cast due to her relationship with West Wilson<\/strong>, both sides agreed that a change was needed. (Amanda appeared on Summer House<\/em> in season 1 before officially joining the following year.)<\/p>\n

\u201cAmanda seems to agree it\u2019s not a good fit,\u201d the source told Us.<\/p>\n

Us<\/em> reported on June 15 that West, 31, would also not be returning<\/a> to Summer House<\/em>. (Per a separate insider<\/a>, it was a \u201cmutual decision between the network and West\u201d that he leave the show because he was \u201calready feeling like his time on the show was coming to an end.\u201d)<\/p>\n

A third source confirmed to Us<\/em> on Monday that Amanda now \u201cwants to focus on her mental health\u201d following a tense Summer House<\/em> season 10 reunion, where she and West, 31, were peppered with tough questions about the timeline of their relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmanda doesn\u2019t feel those are her genuine friendships anymore and wants to focus on her next chapter and what that looks like,\u201d the source says. \u201c[She] and West are at ease that they will not be on the show. They are both OK with moving on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amanda and West went public as a couple in March, just two months after she\u2019d announced her separation from estranged husband Kyle Cooke<\/strong>. (West previously dated Amanda\u2019s former bestie Ciara Miller<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n
