Summer house star Lindsay Hubbard had her first baby, a daughter.
“She’s here!! Gemma Britt has passed away
,” Hubbard, 38, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, December 8, along with a photo of her and boyfriend Turner Slider holding her baby’s hands.
Hubbard announced in July that she and fell — whose identity she did not publicly reveal at the time — they expected.
“Trigger Warning: This post contains more 4th of July fireworks! WE ARE PREGNANT!!!!! ,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I truly believe the universe has a greater plan and this is it!
The second I felt it, I took a @clearblue early digital pregnancy test and getting a clear result, in words, made the next steps so much easier. My boyfriend and I are beyond excited to welcome our little #HubbCub this holiday season 2024!!”
In an interview with people Hubbard then explains the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy.
“At first it was a surprise and a shock because we were without trying or even planningbut we had some honest conversations and it just felt so good for both of us,” she told the publication, adding that the couple had only been together for a few months when she took the pregnancy test.
“It immediately and unmistakably said, ‘You are pregnant,’ and as shocking as that was, having a really clear result just helped ease the unknown,” she continued. “These next steps are a little scary, but at least they’re easier knowing one way or another what you’re working with.”
Hubbard and her boyfriend — who is a doctor working in biotech investments — began dating in January. The two dated several times in 2020, but their romance fizzled out because he wasn’t willing to settle down. He then contacted her in December 2023 news of her breakup broke 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 soulmate with him,” she said of her lover. “He is so excited to be a father and proud to have a child with me.”
Hubbard acknowledged that the situation can be difficult, but emphasized that she and her boyfriend are now handling it well. “It just means the world to have someone like him by my side,” she exclaimed. “And yes, it’s a lot of pressure on the new relationship, but I think he’s the right man because we’re so bonded and connected and we communicate very effectively with each other that it doesn’t feel like work.”
Hubbard, who found out about her pregnancy in early April too 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 going to call him and talk to him,” she said people.
“This relationship is in my past and I can’t focus on my past anymore because I’m so focused on my present and my future,” she added. “And frankly, his emotions are no longer my responsibility. It’s just not my problem anymore.”
