Lindsay Hubbard announced her split from Turner Kufe during the Summer House season 9 reunion — but it’s not a bad thing.
“We put our romantic relationship on pause. For now,” Lindsay, 38, shared during the Wednesday, June 4, episode of the Bravo series. “We are just focused on being the best parents we can be to Gemma. We are coparents.”
Lindsay — who reconnected with Turner in late 2023 following her breakup from Carl Radke — noted that they called it quits “a few months ago” and almost no one from the Summer House cast knew.
“It’s hard to tell that they aren’t together,” Gabby Prescod revealed, while Lindsay confirmed that they were not together at the season 9 premiere party/her Watch What Happens Live appearance in February despite how it looked.
Lindsay explained, “We are the best of friends,” noting that when they aren’t coparenting they are “out to brunch” or visiting friends together.
That cordialness, however, doesn’t mean they are “friends with benefits,” according to the reality star. But Lindsay did say that Turner does sleep over at times.
When asked if she’s dating anyone else, Lindsay told host Andy Cohen, “I am not there yet mentally.” She noted that she doesn’t “think” Turner is back on the dating scene either.
If Turner was in a new relationship, Lindsay quipped, “He would not be spending the night half the week.”
Lindsay and Turner briefly dated in 2020 before getting back together in January 2024. The pair welcomed their daughter, Gemma, in December 2024 and Lindsay’s pregnancy was documented throughout season 9 of the Bravo series.
Lindsay hinted at troubles with Turner during the Summer House finale in May, telling pals Amanda Batula and Paige DeSorbo, “If I didn’t get pregnant, I don’t know if we would’ve stayed together.”
Once the cameras stopped rolling for the season, Lindsay and Turner’s differences became even more evident. “As of right this second, I think there’s a lot for us to figure out when it comes to parenting, coparenting, my lifestyle, me being public, him being private. It’s too much at once,” Lindsay said.
She explained it’s been a “struggle” that she is so public and Turner is very private. (Lindsay has never shown Turner’s face on social media.)
“It’s hard. Being public, you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. … I’m still Lindsay from Summer House,” Lindsay added.
Despite their differing opinions on how much to share with Lindsay’s fans, she told her castmates that Turner “really is better than I could have imagined as a father.”
Gabby, who is one of Lindsay’s closest friends, applauded Lindsay for making the “mature decision” to just focus on being parents and not their relationship since it wasn’t working.
“I feel like she was like, ‘Turner is such a great dad for Gemma, but he’s not the person romantically for me,’” Gabby said.
Lindsay agreed with Gabby and noted that as of now she was navigating how to stay involved with Summer House for season 10 and remain active in Gemma’s day to day.
“I’ll be out there. I don’t know if I’ll be living at the house every weekend. I have a small baby at home,” she said of her plans for the next season. “It’s my first summer with Gemma so I’m really excited to spend that with her.”
