Lindsay Hubbard, a beloved cast member of the reality TV show “Summer House,” has announced that she is expecting her first child. The exciting news was shared with her fans via Instagram on July 4th, where she posted a picture holding a positive pregnancy test. The post was captioned with a playful warning: “Trigger Warning: This post contains more fireworks than the 4th of July! WE’RE PREGNANT!!!!!” She expressed her joy and belief that the universe has a bigger plan for her, stating, “I truly believe the universe has a bigger plan and this is it!”
Hubbard did not disclose the identity of the father, referring to him only as her “boyfriend.” She shared that they are both thrilled to welcome their little “#HubbCub” during the holiday season of 2024. This announcement comes nearly a year after her ex-fiancé, Carl Radke, ended their engagement on camera, a moment that was captured on the Bravo reality series. Despite the breakup, both Hubbard and Radke will continue to film “Summer House” together this summer.
Following the breakup, Hubbard’s co-star Paige DeSorbo advised her to move on and predicted that she would be pregnant and in a new relationship within a year. DeSorbo’s prediction came true, and she commented on Hubbard’s post, saying, “My manifestation even scared me….congratulations.”
Hubbard’s journey to motherhood has been a significant part of her storyline on “Summer House.” In 2022, she took the proactive step of freezing her eggs and also shared her experience of suffering a miscarriage. Her openness about these personal experiences has resonated with many viewers.
In a separate Instagram post, Hubbard expressed her relief and excitement about finally being able to celebrate her pregnancy openly. She mentioned that it had been extremely difficult to keep the news hidden. The reality star partnered with reproductive health company Clear Blue to announce her pregnancy, but she has yet to reveal the identity of her boyfriend. However, fans won’t have to wait long to find out more, as both Hubbard and Radke are returning for Season 9 of “Summer House.”
The upcoming season promises to be eventful, with Hubbard, Radke, and DeSorbo being joined by other returning cast members, including Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, Ciara Miller, and Gabby Prescod. Season 8 newcomers Jesse Solomon and West Wilson will also be back, although Danielle Olivera has announced her departure from the show.
Hubbard’s pregnancy announcement follows a tumultuous period in her life. Last September, she opened up about the sudden breakup with Radke, describing it as one of the most heartbreaking and emotional weeks of her life. She felt humiliated and heartbroken by the way the engagement ended, with no answers or closure from Radke. The couple had planned to wed in a lavish ceremony in Mexico last November, but their breakup played out on camera instead.
Despite the heartbreak, Hubbard has found happiness again. She revealed that she has been dating an old flame since January. She described him as wonderful and shared that they had initially met and gone out three-and-a-half years ago. The timing wasn’t right back then, but they reconnected in December 2023 after her breakup with Radke. Hubbard playfully mentioned that she made him wait a month before reaching back out to him, and they ended up catching up over lunch.
Hubbard has kept details of her new relationship under wraps, but she previously mentioned that she wasn’t interested in dating reality TV stars anymore. She told Page Six in February that she was done with reality TV boys and was focusing on other aspects of her life. In March, she confirmed that she was dating and having fun, and she shared that she had bought a house in Nashville.
Hubbard has always been vocal about her desire to have a family. In May 2022, she froze her eggs, a process she described as special and serendipitous, as her egg retrieval happened on Mother’s Day. She wanted to have a backup plan to ensure she could fulfill her dream of becoming a mother.
In January 2022, Hubbard revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage. She had gotten pregnant with “Winter House” co-star Jason Cameron, and although she would have had the child, she sadly lost the pregnancy. This experience further solidified her desire to have a family.
Hubbard’s relationship with Radke has been a rollercoaster, with their ups and downs playing out on “Summer House.” They got engaged in August 2022, but their engagement ended abruptly in August 2023. Their relationship struggles, including arguments about Radke’s career and sobriety, have been a focal point of the show’s current season.
Despite the challenges, Hubbard is now looking forward to a new chapter in her life as she prepares to welcome her first child. Her journey has been one of resilience and hope, and her fans are eagerly anticipating the arrival of her little “#HubbCub.”
