The surprise baby season continues with Bravo star Lindsay Hubbard revealing she is pregnant with her first child.
The "Summer House" star shared the big news on Instagram in a joint post with the Swiss precision diagnostics brand Clearblue on Thursday, July 4. She is expecting the baby with her boyfriend, whose identity remains a secret.
Lindsay Hubbard's pregnancy comes nearly a year after her former fiancé, Carl Radke, ended their engagement in August 2023.

The Fourth of July marks the annual Independence Day celebration in the US, but Hubbard gave fans another reason to celebrate with her baby announcement. She dropped five wholesome pictures depicting her new status in stomach-baring outfits.
The first image showed her flaunting her baby bump in a gray sports bra and unbuttoned jeans while posing with a positive Clearblue pregnancy test. Then came a snap of the digital test tool next to Hubbard's sonogram, tiny white baby shoes, and a lion lovey.
The soon-to-be mom also posed in a mini white jacket designed with a large bow, going braless underneath to show off her bust and burgeoning bump.
In one picture, Hubbard's mystery boyfriend makes a cute appearance, with only his hands wrapped around his lover's stomach.

Two years before having a baby with her mystery boyfriend, Hubbard was on the road to getting married to her "Summer House" co-star, Carl Radke. The Blast reported they announced their engagement in a candid interview, recalling the romantic beach-side proposal.
Hubbard noted that she and Radke had arrived early to prepare firewood for a bonfire but found a picnic waiting for them. Sentimental messages were also posted on the beach boardwalk, with the latter noting he wanted to do something special for them.
Radke proposed by telling Hubbard how happy he was and how desperately he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Unfortunately, those intense feelings cooled off three months before the pair's wedding in November 2023.
Carl Radke Calls Off His Engagement To Lindsay Hubbard
Hubbard's dreams of walking down the aisle with Radke ended in August 2023 when he called off their engagement. He reportedly ended things over a summer filled with conflicts, including disagreements about his career and the absence of intimacy in their relationship.
As stated, the breakup came three months before their wedding, and news of the canceled Mexican ceremony was confirmed in a letter to family and friends. Radke expressed regret over how things played out, writing:
"Words cannot possibly express how difficult the last two weeks have been for Lindsay and I. We are so incredibly sorry to all of our guests for the confusion and lack of communication."
"We were left trying to figure out how this all exactly happened before we could even have the opportunity to determine the path forward amongst ourselves," the letter obtained by PEOPLE concluded.
Hubbard Remained Focus On Her Future Despite Her Pain

Earlier in February, Hubbard addressed her broken engagement in an emotional interview. She confessed that she didn't predict her life would change the way it did; however, the pain did not stop her from prioritizing her future.
"I think after everything was said and done, after last year, I thought my future in life was going to go one very different direction for this year," the Bravolebrity told the outlet, adding:
"Then, when it didn't, I decided to focus on my own individual successes and what I deem as a personal success in my life. That was okay."
Hubbard's relationship with her mystery boyfriend comes nine months after Radke ended their engagement. She noted they previously went on dates three and a half years ago before reconnecting last December and officially dating in January 2024.
