Bachelor’s Maria Appears to React to Carl Radke’s Comment About Dating

The Bachelor alum Maria Georgas appeared to subtly respond to rumors that she dated Carl Radke — just after he did.

Georgas, 30, shared a TikTok video of Keke Palmer via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, February 5. The clip featured Palmer’s viral “sorry to this man” moment.

“I don’t know who this man is. He could be walking down the street, I wouldn’t know a thing,” Palmer says in the clip. While Georgas didn’t explicitly say she was referring to Radke, 40, both Bachelor Nation and Summer House fans were quick to assume she was responding to his recent comments.

After Radke split from fellow Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard in August 2023, rumors started swirling that he moved on with Georgas. (Previously, they were allegedly spotted together at TomTom in Los Angeles which led to relationship speculation.)

“That’s not true,” Radke said during his “The Viall Files” podcast appearance on Wednesday. “I was there, but I don’t know who Maria from The Bachelor is. Hand to God, I’ve never met her, and I don’t know what she looks like. You could hold up four pictures of people and I wouldn’t know [which she was].”

Georgas has been making headlines since appearing on Joey Graziadei’s The Bachelor season last year. She quickly became a controversial cast member, with some vying for her to be the next Bachelorette after getting eliminated following her hometown date.

The title went to Jenn Tran instead, but Georgas claimed during a “Call Her Daddy” podcast appearance in May 2024 that she was offered The Bachelorette gig and backed out.

“I was offered the role. It was mine until I said it wasn’t,” she said at the time. “It became very overwhelming to the point where I had to decline.”

In the months following her Bachelor Nation debut, Georgas has continuously been romantically linked to various men in the public eye.

Other than Radke, there were rumors that she was dating Pete Davidson. The U.S. Sun reported in November 2024 that Georgas and Davidson, 31, were together before he sought treatment. Georgas was quick to set the record straight on their relationship — or lack thereof — and the rehab rumors.

“Never dated Pete. False rumor! I’m friends with his sister. Case closed,” she shared via Instagram Stories at the time, referring to Davidson’s younger sister, Casey Davidson. “Just spoke to his sister he’s not in rehab and has been sober for months. Can’t believe this s— it’s very insulting to his recovery and my mental health. He’s literally home.”
