Nearly three years after Danielle Olivera and her ex Robert Sieber broke up, Lindsay Hubbard got a blast from the past when she bumped into him unexpectedly during In The City Season 1, Episode 2.
“You didn’t tell me you had a VIP here!” Robert joked to Gavin Moseley, as Gavin and Lindsay chatted in Gavin’s restaurant and bar, Rocco’s Sports and Recreation. Lindsay, for her part, was shocked to discover Robert was hired as the head chef at Rocco’s.
As Robert and Lindsay embraced, Lindsay pointed out, “It’s been a while,” while Robert added, “It’s been like three years.” (Robert and Danielle announced their split in November 2022.)
Gavin then interrupted to ask Lindsay, “My next question is, ‘Whose side are you on [in the break-up]?’”
Lindsay, who at one time was good friends with Danielle, explained to Robert, “I don’t want to say I had a falling out with Danielle, I just, like — I just don’t need it in my life.”
Robert, meanwhile, chose not to get involved in Danielle and Lindsay’s ongoing feud or weigh in on his break-up with Danielle. “I don’t even want to re-live those moments,” he shared. “Those are in the past.”
As he went back to the kitchen, Lindsay expressed her surprise that Gavin hired Robert. “Did we not know this either?” Gavin replied. “I was like, ‘Is this gonna be a problem?’ I feel like there’s a lot I don’t know.”
Why Danielle Olivera and her ex Robert Sieber broke up
In case you need a refresher, Danielle and Robert ended their relationship of two and a half years after Summer House Season 7 filming wrapped, but she discussed the matter during the Season 7 reunion. More specifically, she pointed to his busy schedule as a chef as one of the reasons for their split.
“I just think that I wanted to spend more time with him, as you saw,” Danielle explained, as viewers watched Robert skip several weekends in the Hamptons. “At a certain point, you say, ‘Okay, I’m unhappy. Let’s work on this,’ and unfortunately, his response was, ‘I’m going to continue to go to Aspen and not work on this.'”

During an interview with BravoTV.com, Danielle added, “Both of our careers and our lives are stressful, [and] insane, and the relationship really took a hit. We couldn’t communicate effectively, and we needed to find our own happiness, separately, unfortunately. I hope it’s for the best, but I can tell you right now, it feels really bad.”
Not long after their split, Danielle revealed during the Summer House Season 8 premiere she’d run into Robert with a new girlfriend, who was also one of his co-workers. “You have to wonder, was there overlap?” she said to Ciara Miller and Paige DeSorbo at the time, and revealed there was still bad blood between her and Robert. “And I always suspected that there was, he gaslit me — tale as old as time.”

Danielle shared her desire to have a child with Eoin during the May 19 series premiere. “Once you feel like that’s it, you just fly headfirst in that direction. And, biologically, I probably should rush,” Danielle shared. “I’m turning 37 in December [2025]. I would love to have a baby by 38.” Still, she added, “I definitely want to be engaged, as well.”
Although the two first met nine years ago, they reconnected at the start of 2025. “We lived in different ways, and then rekindled,” Eoin explained in the episode. “You could say you slid back into my DMs,” Danielle added.
The two have also moved in together.
