Lindsay Hubbard has been open about her desire to date again after the end of her relationship with Turner Kufe, and now on In The City Season 1, Episode 7, she’s shedding more light on exactly why the two ended their romance.
How to Watch
In The City airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. Episodes stream next day on Peacock.
“When my baby daddy and I started dating, I just, yeah, I thought that this was gonna be my fairy tale,” she confessed to producers. “I knew that he didn’t love that I was [a] public [figure]. But I guess I just thought we could overcome the differences between like the public/private stuff.”
She continued, “You know, I was willing to compromise huge things—including my career—to give our family a shot. He didn’t want to do it.”
Lindsay also unpacked issues in her past relationships with Kenny Martin over food and drinks during In The City’s June 30 episode.
“My relationships haven’t worked out. I can’t sit here and say like, it’s all their fault, and I can’t sit here and say it’s all my fault. But I do think I choose partners that aren’t necessarily, like, healthy for me,” she admitted.
She addressed the end of her engagement to Summer House’s Carl Radke in the fall of 2023. “Carl had a whole f—king vat of issues that he’s still working through. But like, what happened at the end of the day? He wound up abandoning me,” she shared. She then pointed out the same pattern in her relationship with Turner. “What happened with my baby daddy? He wound up abandoning me.”
Lindsay Hubbard opens up on how her estrangement from her mother impacts her romantic relationships
During In The City‘s June 30 episode, Lindsay revealed her belief that her estrangement from her mother had contributed to issues in her romantic life.
“By the time I was like two, and my brother was three, my mom just couldn’t do it. I stopped talking to her for good like around when I was like 22,” Lindsay confided in Kenny. She later added, “Like, I can’t hear all the things she’s telling me. How my brother and I ruined her life. How she could have done all of these other things if she didn’t have us as kids.”
She opened up on her pain at the situation: “Like, what does that do to you as a person, when you’re just constantly rejected by the biological parent who chose to have you?”
“I’m gonna be battling abandonment issues until the day I die,” she continued. “And the only thing I can do is try to manage, and control it, and recognize it.”
Where do Lindsay Hubbard and Turner Kufe stand today?
Lindsay has hinted since she began dating Turner in 2024 that he preferred to stay out of the limelight, and she even initially avoided naming him until the Summer House Season 9 premiere.
“It’s challenging, for sure, you know, to navigate that,” she told Life & Style in May 2025. “I think it’s hard because I am a public figure. I’ve been on TV for more than a decade.”
She added, “I never thought that I would be in a relationship with somebody this private.”

At the Summer House Season 9 reunion, Lindsay confessed she and Turner had put their “romantic relationship on pause” and were focusing on being co-parents to their 1-year-old daughter Gemma Britt Kufe.
She opened up on that dynamic as she revealed during In The City’s May 26 episode that she and Turner were in mediation over how to raise their toddler.
“Over the summer, no one f—king knew about anything I was dealing with that was, like, very serious, like, legal [matters],” she shared with Georgina Ferzli. “No one at the f—kin’ summer house is gonna understand. Like, nobody has kids.”
But Lindsay did concede, “We agree on a lot.”
In a confessional, Lindsay added, “My baby daddy and I are near the end of mediation for Gemma, and it’s been an up-and-down roller coaster. You know, we are making decisions that are very impactful on Gemma’s entire future. So, the sooner we can get through all of the legal stuff, then the easier it will be.”

I feel like it took a while,” she told The Valley’s Lala Kent on Lala’s podcast, Untraditionally Lala. “So I think that now last year is behind me, we’ve found our footing as like new parents and a new dynamic of co-parenting, mediation, the whole bit, lawyers, this or that.”
