Lindsay Hubbard Reveals She Was ‘Emotional’ on Anniversary of Carl Radke Split but Can Finally Be ‘Soft’

Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard is opening up about her journey since her split from Carl Radke, one year after they called off their engagement.

Reflecting on the past year, the mom-to-be shared her emotional experience with Us Weekly while filming season 9 of the Bravo series.

“The one-year anniversary of my breakup is on Friday, and I actually got emotional because I was writing down what I’ve done since that breakup and I went month by month,” Hubbard, 38, revealed. “I was just like, ‘What did I do this month? What did I do that month?’ And then I got emotional about where I am today, a year later.”

Lindsay expressed pride in how much she has grown since the split. “I really hope that I can be the example for women or anyone who goes through a really tough time [or] has a really tough breakup and then manages to focus on themselves and the things that they’ve always wanted, and their individual, personal goals and successes,” she said.

“I actually accomplished so much in the last year.”

Lindsay and Carl’s breakup, which took place in August 2023, was a significant moment in the season 8 finale of Summer House, which aired in May.

The former couple faced several challenges throughout the season, including a tense argument where Hubbard felt frustrated by Radke’s request for more “softness” from her. Ironically, Lindsay now feels she can finally be soft with her current boyfriend, Dr. Turner Kufe, with whom she is expecting her first child later this year.

“In my past relationship, I wasn’t able to be soft because I had to be the one driving the ship and managing everything — for the relationship, for the future, finances, for that wedding,” Lindsay explained. “I had to be the hard one, and I wasn’t given the opportunity [to be soft].”

Lindsay also reflected on her thoughts about motherhood following her split from Carl.

“I’ve always been on my own individual journey, but in that big scheme of life, I always thought I was gonna wind up on a traditional path with the engagement, marriage, and babies. When that didn’t happen, I started realizing, ‘Well, maybe this is my happily ever after?’” she shared.

“I’ve always wanted to experience motherhood, and it doesn’t have to be in order. It’s OK if it’s out of order, and I could never have predicted that this past year would conclude with me being pregnant and entering into my third trimester and giving birth at the end of this year.”

Lindsay, who announced her pregnancy in July, playfully acknowledged that the unexpected turn of events is part of what makes her “good for reality TV.”

She added, “It just happened, and I try to just stay as open and positive about it. Clearly, this was what the universe wanted for me, and I think that’s the message. And as cliche as it is, trust that everything happens for a reason and that the universe has a bigger plan. Once I started allowing the universe to guide me, everything has been great. I’m happy and giggly because I’m finally with a partner who allows me to be soft.”

While Lindsay is looking forward to her future with Turner, she’s also navigating her past with Radke, as they continue to film season 9 of Summer House together.

She acknowledged that there has been “a little drama” between them on set.

“You don’t just act like everything is fine and nothing happened,” she said. “There are past and residual feelings that come up that you need to address … but for the most part, I think it’s been OK.”
