Season 9 of Summer House has officially begun, and it looks like some fresh faces will be spending the season in the Hamptons alongside Paige DeSorbo, Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, Carl Radke, Lindsay Hubbard and the rest of the Summer House squad we know and love.
During the premiere episode — which aired on February 12 via Bravo, with next-day streaming via Peacock — we met two women who are seemingly a part of the Season 9 cast: besties Lexi Wood and Bailee Henderson.
While we got to know a little bit about the former during the premiere episode — as she has several flirtatious "get-to-know-you" chats with the one and only Jesse Solomon — what is the latter all about?
For everything you need to know about Bailee ahead of Episode 2, just keep scrolling.

How Did Lexi And Bailee Become A Part Of Summer House Season 9?
Briefly mentioned during the premiere episode, Lexi and Bailee joined Summer House through Amanda, who shares some friends with the latter.
"Bailee and I have mutual friends that we met through," Amanda explained in a confessional. "She's just like, a quirky, spunky girl."
"I get her awkwardness. I appreciate it," Amanda added, and we seriously could not agree more. Bailee is the breath of fresh air that we needed on the show!
Living "down the street" from Lexi in New York City, it is safe to say that Bailee brought her bestie boo with her to the Hamptons, and that is how Lexi joined Summer House as well.

Everything You Need To Know About Bailee Henderson
While fans of the show definitely have learned more about Lexi than Bailee, the 27-year-old shared some fun facts about herself in passing during the premiere episode.
Bonding with West Wilson over their midwest roots — yes, pun intended — Bailee hails from Lexington, Kentucky, however, she now resides in the Big Apple.
Despite flirting with West — and telling Jesse firsthand that she was single — Bailee's relationship status on Summer House Season 9 is complicated (to say the least).
"I'm kind of talking to this guy back in the city," she shared towards the end of Episode 1, admitting that the suitcase she brought to the Hamptons belonged to her mystery man.
"We're not serious, though," she continued, but it looks like things might have progressed post-filming...
"POV: you're dating your bestie" she wrote in a TikTok video back in November, seemingly confirming her relationship with said mystery man.
Speaking of TikTok, while Lexi is a model, Bailee works as a nanny and a social media influencer instead. Her LinkedIn biography is as follows:
"I am a content creator that is professional, highly educated and detail-oriented within all social media. I have over 40.2k followers on TikTok and over 20.9K followers on Instagram. I am proficient with editing software such as Final Cut Pro. I know how to create eye-catching content and cross-promote on all social media platforms."
Now with over 812.5k followers on TikTok and over 71.4k followers on Instagram, it looks like Summer House might have launched her even further into the limelight.

Everything You Need To Know About Summer House Season 9
We may only be one episode into the reality television series, but Season 9 of Summer House is already gearing up to be the most dramatic season yet.
As teased in the trailer, conflict will be inevitable as Lindsay Hubbard — who is now pregnant — is forced to spend the summer with her ex-fiancé, Carl Radke. We all remember the falling out (and eventual split) that happened in Season 8 of Summer House, right?
Nevertheless, speaking of former flings, tensions are high as Ciara Miller and West Wilson are forced to spend the summer together as well, after their romance from Season 8 also ended in a rather rocky fashion.
To top things off, it looks like we will even get a glimpse into the split heard around the world, with beloved Bravo couple Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover breaking up rather recently. With the details of their breakup still relatively unclear, we cannot wait to see what Paige has to say...
To see for yourself, catch brand-new episodes of Summer House Season 9 Wednesdays at 9pm PT/ET via Bravo, with next-day streaming via Peacock. Be sure to set your DVRs, because it's certain to be a season for the books!
