Love is in the air on season 9 of Summer House! Or at least it was until Jesse Solomon and his toes sucked it out of the room. From the moment Lexi set foot in the Hamptons, Jesse Solomon showed what he would do, apparently, is send Lexi mixed signals. Jesse told Lexi she was hot — but ditzy. Jesse told the boys he wasn’t going to be single much longer after one day of knowing Lexi — but then complained about how she wouldn’t sleep with him until they were exclusive. Most confusingly of all, Jesse flirted with Ciara all night long — but told Lexi he was thinking about her so much he had to jerk off to release the pressure???
It was an overshare worthy of giving a girl the ick into a different millennium, but, hey, at least Lexi thought it was cute. What Lexi didn’t find so charming was that Jesse got his toes sucked in a foursome with Imrul (a sentence I cannot believe is real) or, even worse, his shameless flirting with Ciara. Are Jesse and Lexi still together? I’m unpacking their Summer House drama to find out.
Are Jesse and Lexi still together?

While it’s not confirmed, Lexi’s latest social media behavior has hinted at no. Not only did Lexi crop Ciara and Jesse out of a cast photo, but she’s been getting sassy on TikTok, too. Go on, girl!

Lexi lip-synced to a sound from Euphoria where Maddie calls out Nate for lovebombing her. Guess Lexi finds that toxic behavior relatable! In another TikTok, Lexi addressed a commenter who was shocked that Jesse’s toe-sucking incident was shown by Bravo to last for 37 minutes (don’t worry, we’ll get there) with the caption, “You learn something new every day.” Between Lexi’s distaste for Jesse’s extracurriculars and his “real feelings” for Ciara only heating up in the midseason trailer, it feels v unlikely these two made it out of the exclusive zone.
What happened between Jesse and Lexi on Summer House?
After Jesse and Lexi started dating from day one, things seemed to be going well, even though Jesse was telling everyone but Lexi he was worried about her jealous side and becoming exclusive so quickly. Pressured or not, Jesse asked Lexi to be exclusive over drinks in episode 8, and Lexi said yes, yippee!
The good times came to a crashing halt when Lexi found out Jesse had a big night the weekend before when she was away. In episode 7, Jesse told Ciara he would have made a move on her the previous summer if West hadn’t “called dibs” first and told Amanda he liked any “red-blooded male” and he’d be interested in dating Ciara if it was on the table.
Just when Lexi was trying to get up from being hit with that news at the group kickball game, Lindsay also spilled that Jesse got his toes sucked.
Summer House Toe Sucking Theories, Explained
After day-drinking at the pirate party, followed by an impromptu boys’ night out, Imrul brought two women home. Jesse decided to make their threesome a foursome by “barging in” to “check on them,” and he stayed in the room for thirty-seven minutes, as the editors so graciously documented. Unfortunately, the full sound of whatever went down in the room wasn’t shared, but the audio did include Jesse saying “soooo good” before exiting the room.
In his confessional, the producers also reminded Jesse that he had gone into the room with socks and shoes on yet had come out barefoot. Jesse told West about this harmless 37-minute-long toe-sucking session the next morning and reluctantly admitted it to the rest of the group during a debrief by the pool. But when Imrul wanted to chat it up about Jesse’s participation in episode 8, Jesse told the cameras he was annoyed at Imrul for bringing it up, thinking it would be “their thing.”
On the flip side, Imrul confessed it was weird how Jesse was acting like Imrul was the only guy in the room. Jesse continued to act defensive about the situation during his confessionals, declaring that if he had wanted to have a foursome, it wouldn’t be with Imrul of all people, which felt like a weird way to imply that would be an honor he saved for his BFF, West.
This whole thing is… interesting, to say the least. You could say that toe-sucking happens to be a very convenient activity to admit to, in that it’s just sexual enough to be believable but not bad enough to justify a breakup from a certain high-stands Canadian queen, perhaps? As Lexi pointed out after the kickball game, the toe-sucking was “strange,” but letting her find out from other people was even “more strange.” If it was all fun and games, why hide the truth? Whatever went down, I trust Lexi and her lipliner to get to the bottom of it.
