Lindsay Hubbard cradles bump at baby shower after sharing unconventional living set-up with baby daddy
Summer House fame Lindsay Hubbard hosted a co-ed baby shower at the Paris Café in New York City on Saturday, after previously revealing that she and the father of her child would not initially live together after the baby was born.
The 38-year-old expectant mother – who broke off her engagement to fiancé Carl Radke last year – wore a lace, pink sleeveless dress for the occasion.
Her glossy blonde locks were styled in an off-center part and a loose updo with framing pieces at the front. And the reality TV personality’s face was glowing in pink makeup, including a glossy lip.
Hubbard boasted about celebrating their upcoming bundle of joy by throwing a co-ed baby shower instead of the more traditional version of it that was just for girls and women.
“What makes my baby shower more unique is that it’s a joint baby shower for him and her to celebrate — not just the baby mama, but the baby daddy too,” the New York City native explained. ‘I didn’t want a traditional baby shower where me and all my friends sit together in the chair during the opening gift. That’s not fun for anyone. People just want to celebrate you and have fun and enjoy yourself.”

She stressed about her partner, who Page six Dr. is revealed. Turner Kufe: “I wanted my boyfriend to be celebrated, loved and supported by his friends and family, just as I am by my friends and family. So that was the most important decision.’
There were no baby shower games, but she did ask guests to make predictions and give advice to the parents-to-be.
There were also disposable cameras floating around the party so people could take fun photos that they could look back on for years to come.
“I really love making memories,” Lindsay said. ‘This moment is one of the greatest moments that will ever happen to me in my life, becoming a mother, and at the same time it will be the greatest moment for [my boyfriend] also in his life. So it’s very important for me to capture those memories together.’
Hubbard said in an August 29 appearance on the Housewives nightcap podcast that she and Kufe continue to live in separate homes in New York City and that she “didn’t even think about moving in with him” during the pregnancy.
“We live so close together in New York, literally within blocks,” Hubbard said. ‘We are on the same street.
“And once the baby comes, I’m sure he’ll be there every night because he’s obsessed with her and doesn’t want to miss anything from her.”
Hubbard said that “if the timing is right” in their “relationship, we might move in together.”

Hubbard said she and Kufe were taking things “one step at a time” amid the busy time, and that living together may have added to the stress.
