Lindsay Hubbard got real about why she and boyfriend Turner Kufe lasted so long in a preview for the season 9 Summer House finale.
“If I didn’t get pregnant, I don’t know if we would’ve stayed together,” Lindsay, 38, confessed to Paige DeSorbo and Amanda Batula in the teaser, which was released at the end of the Wednesday, May 14, episode of Summer House.
Lindsay’s omission, which was filmed in early 2025, took both ladies by surprise. “Wow,” Paige, 32, replied, while Amanda, 33, looked visibly shocked.
Lindsay initially dated Turner in 2020 following her split from Stephen Traversie. Once the relationship fizzled out, Lindsay moved on with housemate Carl Radke. She and Carl, 40, got engaged in August 2022 and one year later Carl called off their engagement.
Lindsay surprised fans and her housemates when she revealed in July 2024 that she was pregnant with her first baby.
“Y’all know I’m doing math over here. Break up in September [from Carl]. Wedding didn’t happen in November. December, [Turner] reached out. July now, she’s four and a half months pregnant. … How did she do it?” Ciara Miller asked about Lindsay’s timeline during the Summer House season 9 premiere, which aired in February.
Lindsay didn’t initially reveal Turner as the father, but she later revealed that she and Turner reconnected in January 2024 and got pregnant very quickly. The reality star has since gushed about him while keeping his face off social media.
“He’s already the best support system, the best partner,” Lindsay exclusively told Us of Turner in October 2024. “He comes to every single appointment, whether it’s my OB or an ultrasound scan. He talks to [the baby] every single night. He’ll put my compression socks on before flights, ties my shoes. He’s so sweet. He really is such a great support.”
The couple welcomed their daughter, Gemma, in December 2024. As Lindsay shared updates about her life as a mom, fans started to wonder whether she and Turner were still an item.
Lindsay dodged breakup rumors in February, revealing on an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that he was “backstage.”
When asked about their future, Lindsay confessed she didn’t “know” what was going to happen. “I think we’re trying to figure that out,” Lindsay said at the time. “We got pregnant very quickly upon dating, and it’s very challenging even on the strongest of relationships.”
Throughout season 9 of Summer House, Lindsay kept her relationship with Turner as private as possible, usually calling him off camera while away in the Hamptons.
On the anniversary of her and Carl’s breakup, however, she hosted a “freedom dinner” for her housemates and celebrated her life, including the pregnancy with Turner.
“I like to refer to it as my freedom dinner. Because it set me free and allowed me to go pursue everything that I’ve pursued this last year,” Lindsay told Gabby Prescod during Wednesday’s episode, which was filmed while she was pregnant. “Now all my dreams are coming true. They wouldn’t have happened if I was still in that relationship.”
During the actual dinner, Lindsay addressed Carl directly and toasted to being in a better place without him.
“I am pregnant, and that is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. I don’t think that would’ve happened if we didn’t break up,” Lindsay said. “So, honestly Carl, thank you for setting me free. So that I could go and accomplish my dreams.”
Summer House’s season 9 finale airs on Bravo Wednesday, May 21, at 9 p.m. ET.
