NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The cast of 'Summer House' is gearing up for a fun-filled Season 7 with the addition of newcomer Chris Leoni. According to Bravo, Chris is the 'only' single man on the show.

When 'Summer House' aired on Bravo in 2014, people fell in love. The network's franchise was particularly likable  because of its mix of young, working adults. In "East Coasters," the housemates showed viewers how they worked hard throughout the week in the concrete jungle of New York City, but also knew how to relax in the beach paradise of Long Island. Over the course of several seasons, fans threw in their favorite Loverboy and settled in for jam-packed seasons of hookups, fall-outs, and winery tours. With some familiar stars like Luke Gulbranson leaving the series, new faces have emerged to take their place. Viewers look forward to meeting the new and returning cast members as they unwind in the Hamptons.

Who is Chris Leoni?

Chris hails from Florida, according to his Bravo bio, where he grew up in a "strict" Honduran-Uruguayan home with two brothers. Chris, a former Marine, left the service to follow his true passion for photography and filmmaking in New York. He joined the Marine Corps in 2010 and retired in 2014. He worked as a field radio operator and was responsible for establishing and maintaining communications in his company.

Christopher Leoni is a Latin American writer/director whose goal is to expand the representation of Hispanic culture. Christopher hung up his gun after serving in the Marines and took up the pen to help others by sharing their experiences. He created and directed 'INK' (6 minutes), which was nominated for a New York Cinematography Award in 2020. In 2019, he organized and directed the Cinema Collective film festival at the SVA Theater, which drew over 500 attendees. His favorite genres include humor, action and thrillers.

In 2021, he graduated from the School of Visual Arts with a Bachelor of Arts degree in cinematography and film/video production. He was a student senator for the film department. His role in the film department was to be the voice of the student body.

Chris's LinkedIn indicates that he also loves walking the runway, so the newest 'Summer House' star has many interests. Chris has modeled for TRUE Model Management for the past eight years and has worked with Weather Proof Vintage, UniQlo, Under Armour, and Ralph Lauren. He has written and directed several films, including 'A Moment for Glory,' 'Pitch Boys,' and 'INK.'



 

Chris is the sole single guy on 'Summer House' Season 7

Chris is one of the 11 members of the cast of 'Summer House' Season 7. He makes his first appearance in the reality show. He is joined by Gabby Prescod and Samantha Feher. The newest 'Summer House' roommate is single and ready to fall in love. His bio says he believes his "unique approach to flirting" would help him find the right partner. A lonely single man in a house full of big personalities, Chris wonders if his unusual approach to flirting can help him find the lady of his dreams. Chris is tall, tanned and attractive, so he does not have to wait long for women to fawn over him.
