Reality Check: Lindsay Hubbard of 'Summer House' expecting

Lindsay Hubbard, a star of the Hamptons-set “Summer House,” is expecting her first child, staying mum on the name of the father.

“Trigger Warning: This post contains more fireworks than the 4th of July! WE’RE PREGNANT!!!!!” the former publicist, who turns 38 next month, wrote on Instagram on Independence Day, in a joint, sponsored post with the pregnancy-test maker Clearblue. Accompanying were four photos of herself with exposed midriff, and one of the positive test and a sonogram strip.

“I truly believe the universe has a bigger plan and this is it!,” she continued. “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!!”

On Friday she added in a solo Instagram post, “I’m relieved and excited to finally be able to celebrate openly, and with the world. It has been extremely difficult to hide my excitement in secrecy, and now that I’m able to share my happiness and joy, I feel like a weight has been lifted (even though I’m actually gaining weight by the day lol)! Our little cub is already so so loved! … Thank you for all of the sweet comments, love, and support! We are truly over the moon right now!”

Hubbard’s engagement to fellow “Summer House” reality TV star Carl Radke had played out on last year’s season 7 of the show until he called it off. This May she told “Access Hollywood,” “I do have a new someone special” but “I'm going to keep it as private for as long as I possibly can. My life for the last eight seasons and years has been fully out there on display — you've seen all of my romantic relationships come and go and blow up in front of everyone's face, so I don't know. I'm going to see just how long I can push this one in my own life privately.”
