Lindsay Hubbard‘s relationship with boyfriend Turner Kufe has been unusually private for the reality star but as season nine of Summer House gets underway, fans might finally get more information.
Hubbard is keeping fans guessing after curiously unfollowing Kufe before the new season of her Bravo show, as Life & Style reported on Feb. 11. However, this isn’t the first time Hubbard has gone to great lengths to keep her relationship out of the spotlight.
When Hubbard first announced her pregnancy back in July, she declined to reveal the identity of her baby’s father.
“He’s a private person, mostly because of his high-powered job,” Hubbard told People at the time, only divulging that her partner was a doctor who works in biotech investing. “Obviously, I’m a very public [person] and share pretty much every aspect of my life with the world, so I know it’s weird. But I need to respect his privacy here.”
Later that month, however, outlets like Page Six confirmed his identity after much speculation, naming Hubbard’s boyfriend as Turner Kufe.
Who Is Lindsay Hubbard’s Boyfriend, Turner Kufe?
Since January 2024, Hubbard has been dating Kufe, a medical doctor who currently works in biotech investing.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Kufe works as the Royalty Pharma Vice President of Research and Investments, a role he’s had since 2021. He previously at J.P. Morgan for almost three years. As for his studies, Kufe earned his Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry from Bowdoin College before attending Tufts University Medical School from 2013 to 2017.
Kufe & Hubbard Started Dating in January 2024
Hubbard and Kufe have been dating solidly since January 2024 but actually had a brief fling back in 2020, as she revealed in a May 2024 appearance on the Bitch Bible podcast, saying that she initially connected with him “three and a half years ago” but it was “bad timing.”
“Some of my friends call it, like, a boomerang, where you go out the first time, the timing wasn’t right, and then they come back around,” she stated. “He broke things off with me, but he did it in such a respectful way.”
Fast forward to December 2023, after Hubbard ended her engagement with Summer House co-star Carl Radke, Kufe reached out once again and the couple started dating the following month.
Hubbard & Kufe Welcomed Their Daughter in December 2024
A few months into their relationship, Hubbard announced her pregnancy in an interview with People in July.
“Obviously, it was a surprise and a shock at first because we were not trying or even planning, but we had some honest conversations and it just felt so right for both of us,” Hubbard told the outlet. “He’s just so excited to be a dad and proud to be having a child with me. It just means the world to have someone like him by my side.”
On December 8, 2024, they welcomed their first daughter. “She’s here!! 🎀” she wrote on Instagram. “Gemma Britt Kufe 🤍.”
Kufe Will Not Star in ‘Summer House’
Fans of Summer House shouldn’t expect to see Kufe on the small screen anytime soon. Speaking of that decision, Hubbard said it was all about keeping his privacy. “When the summer [of 2024] hit, of course, we started having conversations as I went into filming about whether he would participate,” she told StyleCaster in a Feb. 12 interview. “The response was he’s a very private person. He has a job in finance.”
“A lot of guys in finance sign these non-publicity clauses in their contracts that prevent them from being able to do press and TV shows,” she explained.

Hubbard Revealed She & Kufe Aren’t Planning To Get Engaged Any Time Soon
While they may have a daughter together, Hubbard told StyleCaster that she and Kufe aren’t planning on any other major milestone anytime soon.
“I’m just worried about poopy diapers and having spit up on me at all times,” she said. “I’m adjusting to becoming a new mom right now.”
“Engagement and marriage are absolutely even further down the list at this point,” she continued. “We have a new baby. There’s a lot of learning, newness, and adjustments. I am postpartum, and my hormones are shifting. My body is changing. I’m trying to get used to being a mom, first and foremost, more than anything else.”
