Lindsay Hubbard hinted at “what’s gonna happen” next summer now that she’s delivered her baby Gemma, and shared if Gemma will film. The Summer House star also addressed her pregnancy leak, which happened “a week” before she found out.
When season 9 began filming, Lindsay was in her second trimester and had publicly revealed it with her boyfriend Turner Kufe. In the season before, Lindsay split with her fiancé Carl Radke, with whom she was planning a family. Many fans wondered how Lindsay and Carl would share the house together in the wake of their split.
On Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast, Lindsay indicated that people keep asking her “what’s gonna happen next summer.”
“I don’t know,” said the star, in an interview recorded days before the birth. “I know that my executives and I are trying to figure it out.”
“And I think it’s pretty clear that obviously by next summer, like my daughter will be seven, eight months old,” she went on. “Like what are we gonna — I’m not gonna bring my eight-month-old daughter to the Summer House every weekend, to a party house.”
She also recalled how quickly the pregnancy news was leaked.
“Like, this is insane,” said the star, via Bravo TV. “I’ve been to one O.B. appointment, like, what the f-ck?”
According to Lindsay, there were “endless rumors” about the pregnancy early on, but she doesn’t know who leaked it.
“I mean, they found out real quick,” she said. “Within one week of me finding out that I was pregnant — I’m not even joking — I had a reporter who we’re all very close with at Bravo [call] me up, and he’s like, ‘Hey, I’m hearing this rumor that you’re pregnant.’ And literally, in my mind, I’m like, ‘I just found out a week ago!’”
Lindsay called it “so f**ked up.” She said it quickly “swirl[ed] around the media” as well as Bravo fan pages, which was stressful in the first trimester.
“I was really, really stressed about the rumors, and then how I was gonna announce it and how I was gonna play it,” Lindsay explained. “But it all worked out.”
Lindsay revealed she was “very, very happy” she didn’t have to film season 9 during her first trimester, as she didn’t yet want to publicly reveal it. The star also indicated that it would’ve been “boring” to viewers, though it “was great” to film in the second trimester.
“I had a lot of energy; I was growing; I had fun with it, and to be honest with you, it was so much fun being able to celebrate openly after I announced and celebrate with everyone in the house,” she shared. “It almost felt like we were having a joint, collective baby.”
It was also “a lot of fun” because it was the first season with “a pregnant chick.”
“I think it gave me the opportunity to almost show a different side of me that maybe viewers haven’t seen before or maybe they haven’t paid attention to because I’m always drunk on all the other seasons,” said Lindsay. “But … I was really happy and giggly for the most part, and funny and cracking jokes and was able to have more deeper, intimate relationships form, I think, with really just everyone … with the exception of Carl.”
