Lindsay Hubbard Makes Big Reality TV Announcement

Lindsay Hubbard is making it clear she is not done with "Summer House," even if life looks a whole lot different now.

The reality star confirmed she will return for Season 10 after taking time off to welcome her daughter Gemma last December. 

The big announcement comes shortly after she dropped another bombshell, revealing on the Season 9 reunion that she and boyfriend Turner Kufe quietly split just five months after becoming parents.

The Bravo star, who has been part of the show since its 2017 premiere, confirmed her return for Season 10 with a playful Instagram post.

Hubbard shared a 14-slide carousel packed with behind-the-scenes photos and clips from Season 9, which she filmed while pregnant with her first child, daughter Gemma. In the slideshow, Hubbard proudly showed off her baby bump while still holding her own in the house's party scene.

These included poolside glam shots, a "Handmaid's Tale" costume moment, and a hilarious moment where giant watermelons were strapped to one of her male castmates to give him a taste of pregnancy.

"BFFR of course I'm coming back this summer," she wrote in the caption. But she also made it clear that her role next season will come with a new twist, "(it's just going to look a little different for me since I'm a whole ass mom now) #SummerHouse #SendIt."

Season 10 is set to begin filming, and fans could not be more hyped about Hubbard's comeback, baby and all. The comment section quickly turned into a fan lovefest. One follower begged, "Thank God and bring Gemma babe." Another chimed in with, "Fine, I'll babysit."

The support for Hubbard's next chapter was loud and clear. "Moms can be fun," one user emphasized, while another declared, "Let's f-cking gooooooooo." The excitement kept rolling in. "I'm so happy!!!! Summer can be FUN with babies too," one fan wrote. "Ahhhh our queen is back!" added another.

One person summed up what many were thinking, "Thank the Bravo gods! There is no Summer House without the HubbHouse." Another praised her evolution, "Lindsay in her mom era is the best version of Lindsay we've ever had! And I've loved them all!!"

Hubbard may have locked in her spot on "Summer House" Season 10, but she had previously teased bigger things in the works behind the scenes. 

In a past podcast appearance, Hubbard revealed she had been in ongoing talks with the series producers about how her role might shift now that she is the only cast member with a child. 

"I'm not gonna bring my 8-month-old daughter to the summer house every weekend, to a party house," she explained. The Blast reported that Hubbard also hinted at another potential move, joining the "Real Housewives of New York City."

When asked about possibly joining the rebooted Bravo series, the 38-year-old did not deny it outright, choosing instead to stir speculation with a cryptic response, "Um, let's just say that I am excited about my future with the network."

The new mom is not just making headlines for her return to "Summer House"; she is also navigating life as a newly single mother. During Part 2 of the Season 9 reunion, Hubbard revealed she and Kufe had quietly ended their relationship months ago.

The reality star opened up about the breakup while speaking with host Andy Cohen, explaining that the two are no longer romantically involved and are now fully focused on co-parenting.

"We put our romantic relationship on pause for now. We are just focused on being the best parents that we can possibly be to Gemma. We are co-parents. We are an amazing team," she said. Though the split may not be final, Hubbard acknowledged there are still significant hurdles to work through.

"We'll see what happens in the future, but 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," she added.

Sharing a life with someone constantly in the public eye is no mean feat, which likely explains why Hubbard kept her relationship with Kufe away from the spotlight.

She kept their romance off the grid, noting that it was intentional and out of respect for Kufe's privacy. In her words:

"This is not about us being proud of each other or not. He is so beyond proud to be my boyfriend and the father of my child, and vice versa. And the fact that it is not his job to be public like me."

With Lindsay Hubbard ready to dive back in as a new mom, viewers can expect a different side of her this season!
