'Summer House's Jesse Solomon Dodges Ciara Miller Dating Question, Says He's 'Focused on Friendship' Instead
What would Summer House star Jesse Solomon do if the opportunity to date Ciara Miller ever came up again? Apparently… not give a straight answer.
Throughout the season, some fans wondered whether Jesse and Ciara's playful friendship could evolve into something more-especially after Jesse awkwardly floated the idea of making out with Ciara to West Wilson before ever asking Ciara out herself.
While chatting with Parade via Ring during his "Happy To Be Here" tour, Jesse hesitated when asked whether there was "any world" where he and Ciara could ever date. "I don't know," he admits before doubling down on where they currently stand, adding, "I think Ciara and I have proven that friendship is the most important thing, and that's what I'm focused on right now."
So… was that a soft no? Fans may still be trying to decode it. After a drawn-out "um," Jesse laughed that he "just woke up" before adding that "Ciara is an amazing, amazing girl and I'm hopeful and excited to see her in the Hamptons this summer."
Jesse took his shot at possibly striking up a romance with Ciara this season, but but the situation became messy fast. Instead of simply asking her out on a date, he joked with housemates about wanting to make out with her. He ultimately had a cringey exchange with West-who was seemingly pursuing Ciara after their painful breakup-about wanting to kiss her. Taken aback, West questioned why Jesse brought it up to him instead of Ciara directly, adding, "I don't think he's there yet, which is why I'm like, why would you bring it up to me?"
When word got back to Ciara about Jesse's intentions, she was confused and hurt as to why he didn't come to her first because she felt they had a strong enough friendship to talk it out. Plus Ciara said in a confessional, "Everyone knows I'm more traditional than your average girl. And me and Jesse are real friends. So, I just don't understand why you only see me in this light of, like, oh, a good time girl, when that's so not my vibe anyway."
Later in the season, when West and Ciara finally buried the hatchet and decided to be friends again, they jokingly revisited Jesse shooting his shot. "At first I was like, wait a minute," Jesse tells Parade about watching the moment. "But then I was like they were just joking around so I didn't take it personally."
Something he is taking seriously, however, is his Summer House Season 11 bedbug status.
"Can I tell you something? I hope I get the master this year," he spills. "Because I'm friends with everyone in the house. And now are there any couples left?"
Well, he may have to fight KJ Dillard and Dara Levitan or Ben Waddell and Sabrina Belle for the master bedroom, but he seems determined to stake his claim.
"I would love to be in there and then everybody can just come hang in the bed," Jesse says about how he plans to establish gossip central for season 11. "It's a complete open policy. So yeah, I think the bedbugs will live on in some capacity. Tough to say exactly what it will be. But there will be beds and there will be bugs."
Jesse also revealed that historically, room assignments have always favored seniority and that "the couples take the good rooms and the big rooms." He added that he's always been pretty easygoing about where he crashes.
"There have been some arguments over the years. Some have been shown some have not," he says. "But I'm pretty easy going, as long as there's a bed, I'm happy."
Part one of the Summer House Season 10 reunion airs on tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
