After her very public breakup with ex-fiancé, Carl Radke, Lindsay Hubbard found love with someone new...though at first, the Bravolebrity was hesitant to drop hints about the new man in her life (and honestly, we don't blame her!). However! She eventually began to spill some tea about her new BF, Turner Kufe—including his name, which she was initially reluctant to disclose—and she and Turner have since welcomed a baby together.
Here's everything we know so far about Lindsay's mysterious maybe-boyfriend (and where the two stand ahead of Summer House season 9!).
So...who is Turner Kufe?
Great Q! According to his LinkedIn profile (which he has since deleted), Turner Kufe has been the Royal Pharma Vice President of Research and Investments for three years. Before that, he was reportedly the Vice President of J.P. Morgan.
In May 2024, Lindsay appeared on an episode of the Bitch Bible podcast, where she dished that her boyfriend is “successful in his own field and has a great job” and that “he works very hard, and he’s extremely driven and ambitious.”
Oh, and a month later, she called him “an incredible man” during an interview with E! News. “We have a very sweet, caring, and loving relationship that I truly cherish," she said, adding, “I got rid of any and all timelines considering all of my past timelines have blown up in my face. I’m really just enjoying my relationship as it naturally progresses and I’m not putting any pressure on next steps until it feels right for the both of us. I hope it eventually does lead to a serious future with him, but if it doesn’t, that’s okay, too.”
During the reunion episode of Summer House season 8, Lindsay opened up about keeping things private and learning from her past relationships.
“When we started dating, I really wanted to maintain our privacy for as long as possible,” she explained. “We needed to see how we felt about each other without the whole world chiming in with their opinions or judgments. The only thing that truly matters is how we feel about each other at the end of the day and I needed space and time to figure that out for myself.”
“I’ve also learned from my past mistakes in being too public with every step of my relationships,” she added. “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. He’s never seen Summer House and probably never will, and I love that about him. It’s an even playing field with us.”
How did Lindsay meet Turner?
Fun fact: Lindsay dated Turner for a few years before getting together with Carl. “I actually met him and went out with him three-and-a-half years ago,” Lindsay shared on the Bitch Bible podcast. “Some of my friends call it a boomerang, where you go out the first time, the timing wasn’t right, and they come back around. So, that’s basically what happened.”
According to the reality TV personality, they didn’t work out the first time due to bad timing. “Three-and-a-half years ago, it was October [or] November 2020, so it was COVID times. So still a little weird. Weird times. We met, and we hit it off, [we] went on some dates. He was trying to figure out his career moves, and it was just bad timing for him,” Lindsay explained. “It was also [the] holidays, [so] it was bad timing for me. I was in a weird place at that time, and so he broke things off with me.” She revealed that he did so in “such a respectful way,” and they eventually rekindled their ’ship in 2023.
“The next thing you know, this past December, three years later, after we went out three or four times, he reached back out, boomeranged back, and was like, ‘Hey.’ And I was like, ‘Blast from the past,’” she dished, adding that she didn’t reply right away.
“I put him on ice for about a month. He reached out in mid-December. He made me wait three years, he can wait a month,” she joked. “So I reached back out in January, and I was like, ‘Alright, coffee.’ And then we got lunch, and I feel like that lunch was catching up on the last three years of our lives as opposed to [anything else].”
He's the father of her first child
Yep. She and Turner welcomed their daughter, Gemma Britt Kufe, in December 2024, according to an Instagram post.
On July 4, 2024, the reality star took to Instagram to share the deets on the exciting news. “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,” she began the post. “It has been extremely difficult to hide my excitement in secrecy, and now that I’m able to share my happiness and joy, I feel like a weight has been lifted (even though I’m actually gaining weight by the day lol)!” she added.
And just a few days after her huge reveal, Lindsay clued fans in on how she juggled her career all the while keeping her pregnancy under wraps in a carousel of images posted to Instagram on July 8.
“4 weddings, 2 magazine cover shoots, 1 WWHL, 1 reunion taping, a sandwich shop opening, 1 Kleinfeld launch event, and a magazine party.. most all in my first trimester, and all before I announced 🤯 Hiding this news has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do! (Mentally, emotionally, and physically) 🥵,” read the caption, in part. Obvi, though, it didn't take fans long to zero in on a snap of Turner, whose identity was concealed with a brown heart over his face.
Those breakup rumors? False!
During the February 6 episode of the Housewives Nightcap podcast, Lindsay said that she wasn’t “putting the pressure on the romantic department” because she and Turner have a baby together. Before moving forward with their 'ship, the Bravolebrity revealed that she wants to make sure the “romantic relationship is compatible and is gonna go the distance.”
Then, two days after that, Lindsay told E! News she and Turner still don’t live together. She said it was because she had resigned her lease in March 2024 and “wanted to take the pressure off in every other department” after her pregnancy. And amid all of that, a Deux U podcast episode revealed that—according to an anon tipster—Lindsay and Turner had broken up. AND eagle-eyed fans realized that Lindsay seemingly unfollowed Turner on Instagram ahead of Summer House's season 9 premiere.
However, Lindsay showed up on WWHL on February 12 and told Andy that Turner was backstage with her, adding that when it comes to their future, "I don’t know. I think we’re trying to figure that out. We got pregnant very quickly upon dating, and it’s very challenging even on the strongest of relationships."
