Lindsay Hubbard didn’t hold back when she told her Summer House castmates,

“I wouldn’t have compromised if I wasn’t pregnant.”

In the Season 9 finale on May 21, the 38-year-old explained that discovering she was expecting Gemma changed everything for her and boyfriend Turner Kufe.

She said the idea of becoming parents made them work together instead of drifting apart over small arguments. That new sense of purpose, she admits, is what helped keep their relationship on track.

How the pregnancy helped them focus on each other

Lindsay Hubbard explained that expecting Gemma forced both her and Turner to shift attention away from minor disagreements. Rather than arguing about daily routines or social plans, they found themselves planning hospital visits and nursery details together.

According to Hubbard, working toward a common goal “made us team up instead of pull apart,” a change she doubts would have happened without the pregnancy.

How they balanced public and private lives

One constant friction point was Lindsay Hubbard’s life in front of the camera versus Turner’s wish for privacy. As a reality-TV star, Lindsay spends weeks away filming and keeps an active social-media presence.

Turner, a biotech investor, prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Lindsay admitted their “main source of conflict” was this contrast, and said it took honest conversations about respect and boundaries to ease tension.

How Lindsay Hubbard is navigating motherhood and identity

Becoming a mom has led Lindsay to question her next steps both on Summer House and in her career.

“I’m in the process of going through an identity crisis,”

She told a producer in Bravo’s insider preview, calling this a “huge transitional year”. Between late-night feedings and filming schedules, she’s learning to adjust her ambitions around Gemma’s needs.

How they’re sharing their story on social media

Although Turner remains off Instagram, Lindsay Hubbard has been deciding how much to share of their new life. In March, she said,

“I’m trying to figure out how to be IG official with my daughter,”
Adding, “Can I please post my daughter?”

She followed up by calling Turner “an incredible dad and very active,” showing appreciation for his involvement without revealing too much about his private world.


How they’re planning for the future together

After Gemma’s December 2024 arrival, the couple chose to keep separate homes for a time to ease pressure on their young family. Lindsay Hubbard explained that this arrangement helped them avoid rushing into living together and gave each space to adapt.

As they move forward, they continue to revisit their shared goals, career plans, parenting styles, and, possibly, the question of returning to the Summer House.
