There’s a Summer House baby on the way, and fans of the show are all probably wondering: what was Carl Radke‘s response to Lindsay Hubbard’s pregnancy?
The reality TV star recently announced she’s expecting her first child, due in late 2024. “I woke up this morning feeling so blessed and grateful for this journey 🙏🥰 But most of all, I’m relieved and excited to finally be able to celebrate openly, and with the world,” Hubbard captioned an Instagram post of her baby bump on July 4, 2024. Her announcement came less than a year since she and ex-fiancé Carl Radke called off their wedding, but clearly, Lindsay’s already living her best life with a new guy and a bun in the oven.
Understandably, fans might wondering, “What does Carl think about all this?” While the Bravo personality has yet to publicly weigh in on his ex’s life update, it seems Lindsay couldn’t care less what he thinks. In an interview with People magazine after the announcement, Lindsay said, “I’m sure he’ll find out when the rest of the world finds out, but I’m not calling him up and having a conversation with him.”

She added, “That relationship is in my past, and I can’t really focus on my past anymore because I’m so focused on my present and my future. And to be honest, his emotions are no longer my responsibility. It’s just not my problem anymore.” And that’s on moving on!
While Lindsay’s being open about her pregnancy, she’s still keeping some details private—including her new partner’s identity. All we know so far is that her boyfriend works in biotech investing and prefers to stay out of the public eye. A month before she announced her pregnancy, she spoke with E! News about her decision to keep her relationship private after her public breakup with Carl on Summer House. “I’ve also learned from my past mistakes in being too public with every step of my relationships,” she told the site in June 2024. “And after my last relationship ended in such a humiliating and very public way, I’m not exactly dying to open my current relationship up to the world just yet.”
The good news is, fans of Summer House can expect to see Lindsay’s pregnancy journey unfold in the upcoming ninth season. She’ll be filming alongside Carl, so there’s definitely the potential for some tense dynamics on the new season.
Interestingly, Lindsay revealed that she already knew she was pregnant during the last season’s reunion. She says that’s why she was so chill about all the drama between her and her ex. “That’s what allowed me that quiet, calm strength that I had at the reunion,” Lindsay shared with People. “In the back of my mind, the whole time I was thinking, ‘Let me just get through this, and then I can focus on the important things that matter to me right now’—which certainly wasn’t all that.”
Now, Lindsay’s all about picking out baby names and planning her shower. She’s keeping mum on whether it’s a boy or a girl, but you can bet she’s excited. So far, it sounds like her pregnancy has been pretty smooth sailing too, telling People that she hasn’t experienced any morning sickness or nausea. Instead, she’s just focused on sharing her joy with friends and fans alike, saying, “I’m just excited to actually be able to talk about it publicly now and share in the celebration with our friends. I’m a very ‘scream from the rooftops’ kind of girl. I’m just ready to let it all out now.”
Summer House is available to stream on Peacock.
