Lexi Wood Is Making a Splash in ‘Summer House’: Everything to Know About the Model

Summer House gained two new tenants, Lexi Wood and Bailee Henderson, during season 9 after Danielle Olivera‘s departure after season 8 stopped filming. Lexi got lots of screen time after developing a summer romance with costar Jesse Solomon, but the Toronto native’s background had fans wanting to know more about her outside of making a splash on the Bravo show.

What Is Lexi Wood’s Job?

Lexi is a model and content creator, with 1.2 million Instagram followers as of publication.

She was scouted at 10 years old while growing up in a small town near Toronto, which led her to travel and work around the world.

“It’s been a long journey to get me to where I am now. I started modeling when I was 10, and then moved to Paris the day after my 17th birthday, from Paris I moved to Miami,” Lexi told THE FEM WORD in April 2020. “From Miami, I moved to L.A., after spending 3 months in L.A. I moved to New York. Two years ago, I decided to make the full move to L.A.! I haven’t stopped traveling, but L.A. is home for now!”

Lexi is currently a Big Apple resident, according to her Instagram bio.

Lexi credits her success in the industry to being in the “right place” at the “right time” in various settings.

“I originally started when I was 10 to try to help me get out of my shell. After I grew out of shooting kids clothing I took a bit of a break before being re-scouted at 15 by a mother agent who then signed me to Ford Canada, which was my first big modeling agency,” she told the outlet. “From there I got signed to an agency in New York where I was scouted to move to Paris to work. It was one of those moments where it was like a right place right time kind of thing.”

Lexi Wood Made Headlines Before ‘Summer House’ Season 9 Premiere

Page Six reported in July 2024 that Lexi was going to be the newest addition to the series. However, neither Bravo, Lexi, nor the Summer House cast has announced or reacted to the claims until that December.

Inside Lexi Wood’s Romance With Jesse Solomon on ‘Summer House’

A Reddit user shared a blind item on July 14, 2024, and shared screenshots from a video of the Summer House season 9 cast. It’s unknown if cameras were up, but none were in sight in the photos, where Lexi was kissing Jesse.

Lexi stood in front of Jesse next to their bottle service table before he turned her around and pulled her in for a lengthy kiss. Kyle and Carl were also spotted in the snapshots.

Fans instantly saw Lexi and Jesse’s spark during the season 9 season premiere in February 2025 upon the model’s arrival. The pair’s chemistry was undeniable, but the same couldn’t be said for their compatibility.

During episode 1, Jesse was hypnotized by Lexi’s presence yet proceeded to question if she was “ditzy.” On the bright side, he vocalized his concern to her and after she was taken aback for a moment, she gracefully shut down the claims.

By episode 3, Lexi told Jesse that she wasn’t going to make physical or mental progressions in their romance unless they were “only getting to know each other.”

“It just makes things more like, black and white. And I don’t like gray,” she told Jesse, who replied that being exclusive was “a little soon.”

Fans will see how the pair’s romance will play out during the rest of season 9.

Who Has Lexi Wood Dated?

Lexi is no stranger to making headlines. In 2018, she was photographed kissing Victoria and David Beckham’s eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, while lounging at a tattoo shop in Los Angeles. Their PDA wasn’t the only thing that was of shock value, as Brooklyn was dating actress Chloë Grace Moretz at the time.

Lexi was linked to Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber’s son, Presley Gerber, in 2022. Their whirlwind romance came to a halt one month after going public that November.
