“Summer House” star Lindsay Hubbard has announced that she is expecting her first child. The reality TV personality shared the joyous news on Instagram on July 4, with a post that was as festive as the holiday itself. “Trigger Warning: This post contains more fireworks than the 4th of July! WE’RE PREGNANT!!!!!” Hubbard captioned a photo of herself holding a positive pregnancy test. She expressed her belief that the universe has a bigger plan for her, and this pregnancy is part of 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, 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, predicting that she would be pregnant and in a new relationship within a year. DeSorbo commented on Hubbard’s post, saying, “My manifestation even scared me….congratulations.”
Hubbard has been open about her journey to motherhood during her time on “Summer House.” In 2022, she froze her eggs and also documented a miscarriage she suffered. Her pregnancy announcement marks a new chapter in her life, one that she is eager to share with the world.
In a separate Instagram post, Hubbard expressed her relief and excitement at finally being able to celebrate her pregnancy openly. She noted that it had been extremely difficult to keep the news hidden. The Bravo star partnered with reproductive health company Clear Blue to announce the pregnancy, but has yet to reveal the identity of her boyfriend. However, viewers may not have to wait long to find out, as both Hubbard and Radke are returning for Season 9 of “Summer House.”
Hubbard’s journey to this point has been anything but smooth. 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, with no answers or closure on why the engagement ended. Radke had proposed to Hubbard in August 2022 at Southhampton’s Dune Beach, an event captured by Bravo cameras. The couple had planned to wed 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. “He’s wonderful. I actually met him and went out with him three-and-a-half years ago,” she said on the “Bitch Bible” podcast in May. The timing wasn’t right back then, but they reconnected in December 2023 after her breakup with Radke. She described their reunion as catching up on the last three years of their lives.
Hubbard has kept details of her new relationship under wraps, but she previously told Page Six that she wasn’t interested in dating reality TV stars anymore. “I think I’m good on the reality TV boys for now,” she said. She also appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” in March, where she told host Andy Cohen that she was “having fun” dating.
Hubbard has always been vocal about her desire to become a mother. In May 2022, she froze her eggs, a process that was documented by Bravo cameras. She described the experience as special, noting that her egg retrieval happened on Mother’s Day. “It was like one of those serendipitous moments where you sit back, and you’re like, ‘Wow, I really did this,’” she told Page Six at the time.
In January 2022, Hubbard revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage. She said that she would have had the child with “Winter House” co-star Jason Cameron. Despite the loss, she remained determined to have a family, describing it as something she has always wanted.
Hubbard’s relationship with Radke has been a significant part of her storyline on “Summer House.” Their engagement ended in August 2023, just a few months before their planned wedding. Their relationship struggles have continued to play out on the show, with Hubbard questioning Radke’s sobriety and career choices.
Despite the ups and downs, Hubbard is now looking forward to a new chapter in her life. She and her boyfriend are excited to welcome their baby, and she is relieved to finally share the news with the world. As she embarks on this new journey, fans of “Summer House” will undoubtedly be watching closely.
