Surprise! Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard dropped some fireworks on the Fourth of July, sharing the shocking news that she is pregnant with her first child.
The 37-year-old Bravo star, who split from ex Carl Radke in August 2023 after he ended their engagement, took to Instagram to share the surprise reveal.
“Trigger Warning: This post contains more fireworks than the 4th of July! WE’RE PREGNANT!!!!! 💥💥💥” Hubbard wrote. “I truly believe the universe has a bigger plan and this is it! 💫”
Without revealing the name of her mystery boyfriend, Hubbard added, “My boyfriend and I are beyond excited to welcome our little #HubbCub this Holiday season 2024!! 🦁🎁”
In the photos, Hubbard is holding up her pregnancy test and cradling her bare baby bump in jeans and a sports bra. She also shared pics of the baby’s sonogram, tiny white booties, and lion lovey.
And in one pic, a man’s arms and hands are wrapped around her and her stomach with his face unseen.
This big announcement comes days after a source close to Summer House production confirmed to ET that both Radke and Hubbard will return for season 9 of Summer House, after documenting their split on season 8.
The two became close friends on Summer House‘s first season, which made its debut in January 2017. After a few false starts at dating, they officially confirmed their romance to the world in January 2022. In June 2022, the couple confirmed to ET that they were moving in with each other and were “excited” to take that next step.
Radke proposed to Hubbard later that year during the show’s seventh season. They were meant to get married in Mexico in November 2023, but news of their breakup exploded onto the internet on Aug. 31 — just two weeks after Hubbard had her garden party-themed bridal shower in New York City with several Summer House co-stars in attendance.
“Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard have called off their engagement. The two were set to get married in November, but Carl told Lindsay he couldn’t move forward with the wedding. The breakup was filmed and will most likely play out on the next season of Summer House,” multiple sources told ET at the time.
Hubbard has been candid about Radke calling off their wedding, saying she was “blindsided” by her ex.
“How do you flip a switch that quickly unless you’re faking it, pretending, or I don’t know,” Hubbard told ET. “How are you not blindsided by that?”
Back in November 2023 at BravoCon, Hubbard dished about moving on in her romantic life after the split.
“I’m trying to just think who I’m gonna date next. I’m kind of done with these Bravo guys,” she quipped at the time. “I’ve circled this universe for a little too long with the guys.”
In February, she told ET that she was dating and had a shift in her priorities.
“My definition of individual success changes as the years go on, right?” she told ET at the time. “I’m pivoting my individual success, so if I’m putting too much pressure on the ‘engagement, marriage, babies’ portion of it, then maybe that’s not what the universe wants for me.’
Hubbard told ET at the time that she froze her eggs, but didn’t plan to touch those and had no intention of becoming a mom on her own.
And in May, Hubbard spoke about her new mystery man on the B**ch Bible podcast, revealing they reconnected after first dating during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Some of my friends call it, like, a boomerang, where you go out the first time, the timing wasn’t right, and then they come back around,” Hubbard revealed.
She shared the initial split came from her now-boyfriend.
“He broke things off with me, but he did it in such a respectful way,” she recalled. “I went back and was like, ‘Let me see what this guy said.’ It was the nicest text ever, ’cause most guys will just ghost you or fade away or disappear or whatever.”
Then in December 2023, he reached out to Hubbard once more. Hubbard said she “put him on ice for a month” before agreeing to a date.
Summer House season 9 begins filming this week in Water Mill, New York, and it looks like the show will have plenty of content.
