Summer House star Laurent Wirkus has been keeping busy since season 2 aired, and here’s what she’s been up to. Believe it or not, seven years have passed since Bravo TV’s Andy Cohen decided that viewers needed a New York answer to the Jersey shore and introduced one of the best reality TV shows. In 2017, ten friends gathered, but not to “GTL” on the Seaside boardwalk. Instead, they got together to “rosé all day” at a summer house in the Hamptons.
Lauren and Ashley Wirkus joined the case of overworked and well-paid entrepreneurs. The two women were known as “the Barbie twins.” On the surface, these identical twin sisters may seem like they are all beach and no business, thanks to their sun-kissed tans, blonde hair, and long legs, but there’s more to them than bronzed skin and statuesque height. While Lauren won’t be appearing on Summer House season 8, there’s still curiosity regarding what happened to her after the show.
With features that could grace the couture runway, Lauren and Ashley proved that hot blondes have more fun. However, the twins are no-nonsense women who have the utmost respect for others and themselves. The premiere season of the show saw Lauren falling for entrepreneur housemate Carl Radke a bit too fast for her older sister’s liking. At first, it was sweet to witness Ashley being protective of her younger twin sister, but after a while. Lauren appeared to be smothered by her sister’s dating advice.
The couple that never really was got off to a shaky start. Having known each other for only two weeks, viewers saw Lauren get jealous when it appeared that Carl had possibly been keeping his distant girlfriend a secret. Throw a seductive fit model from Texas into the mix and Lauren found herself in a race to win Carl’s heart. With the series continuing through a second season, things heated up and quickly cooled off between Lauren and Carl. The two had questioned their relationship right into the friend zone. where it apparently remained.
Lauren and Ashley Wirkus did not sign on for Summer House season 3, which left fans baffled. Considering they were two of the most well-liked characters on the show, their absence from filming did not go unnoticed. While Ashley seemed to have a new direction in life with her husband and business, Lauren was still searching for her one true love.
Lauren is a Summer House alum who left her friendship with Carl behind and finally found her soul mate. She married David Raih in June 2020. The couple recently welcomed their firstborn child, Goldie, on April 16th, 2021. Lauren and Ashley continue to run their successful twins’ lifestyle blog. The Summer House alum also offers messenger/shout-out services via the Cameo app. While she’s likely to never grace Summer House screens again, she’s moved on and happier than ever.
