Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard has welcomed her first baby, a daughter.
“She’s here!! 🎀 Gemma Britt Kufe 🤍,” Hubbard, 38, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, December 8, alongside a photo of her and boyfriend Turner Kufe holding on to their infant’s hands.
Hubbard announced in July that she and Kufe — whose identity she did not publicly reveal at the time — were expecting.
“Trigger Warning: This post contains more fireworks than the 4th of July! WE’RE PREGNANT!!!!! 💥💥💥,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “I truly believe the universe has a bigger plan and this is it! 💫 The second I had a feeling, I took a @clearblue Early Digital Pregnancy Test and getting a clear result, in words, made the next steps sooo much easier. My boyfriend and I are beyond excited to welcome our little #HubbCub this Holiday season 2024!!”
In an interview with People that followed, Hubbard explained the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy.
“It was a surprise and a shock at first because we were not trying or even planning, but we had some honest conversations and it just felt so right for both of us,” she told the outlet, adding that the couple had only been together for a few months when she took a pregnancy test.
“It immediately and unmistakably displayed with words ‘You are pregnant’ and as shocking as that was, having a really clear result just helped alleviate the unknown,” she continued. “Those next steps are a little scary, but at least they’re easier just knowing one way or another what you’re working with.”
Hubbard and her boyfriend — who is a doctor working in biotech investing — began dating in January. They went out a few times in 2020, but their romance fizzled out because he was reluctant to settle down. He reached back out to her in December 2023 after news broke of her split from ex-fiancé Carl Radke. (Us Weekly confirmed in August 2023 that Radke called off their engagement just three months before their wedding.)
“We have a very loving, caring and healthy relationship. I finally feel like I met my match with him,” she said of her beau. “He’s just so excited to be a dad and proud to be having a child with me.”
Hubbard acknowledged that the situation could be difficult but emphasized she and her boyfriend were already navigating it well. “It just means the world to have someone like him by my side,” she gushed. “And yes, it is a lot of pressure on a new relationship, but I think because he’s the right man because we are so bonded and connected and communicate very effectively with each other that it hasn’t felt like work.”
Hubbard, who found out about her pregnancy in early April, also addressed Radke’s potential reaction to the news.
“I’m sure he’ll find out when the rest of the world finds out, but I’m not calling him up and having a conversation with him,” she told People.
“That relationship is in my past, and I can’t really focus on my past anymore because I’m so focused on my present and my future,” she added. “And to be honest, his emotions are no longer my responsibility. It’s just not my problem anymore.”
