Lindsay Hubbard is perfectly happy not sharing a house for once.
In fact, the Summer House star—who gave birth to baby girl Gemma Britt Kufe in early December—has a very good reason for why she still doesn’t live with her boyfriend (whose identity remains private) two months after they became first-time parents.
“We live in New York City and I had just resigned my lease last March and found out I was pregnant in April,” the 38-year-old exclusively told E! News. “It’s a lot of pressure getting pregnant a few months into dating somebody. So, I wanted to take the pressure off in every other department.”
But now that Gemma has arrived, moving in together is finally on Lindsay’s to-do list. As the Bravolebrity noted, “Now we can have those conversations.”
And for anyone questioning the couple’s non-traditional living situation—including Lindsay’s longtime friend Danielle Olivera, who shaded the former publicist for still living alone in the show’s season nine trailer—Lindsay has a message.
“I’m an independent woman and I’m a strong girl,” she stated. “If the relationship works out, great. And if it doesn’t, we’ll figure it out. But I didn’t need to move too quickly in the relationship just because I was pregnant.”
However, Lindsay found humor in Danielle second guessing her relationship given she previously warned Lindsay not to get engaged to ex-fiancé Carl Radke so quickly.
“It was just so funny because I was like, ‘Danielle, the last time around you were telling me I was moving too fast,'” she quipped. “‘Now, you’re telling me I’m moving too slow. What is it?’ It’s not making sense. I’m trying to slow things down.”
For Lindsay, that means enjoying every moment as a new mom—and have a front row seat to see her man as a new dad.
“He’s incredible,” she gushed. “He loves her so much. He was right by my side as I gave birth and then for the first six weeks he had paternity leave. Now, he’s back at work, but he’s with us in the mornings and at night.”
Lindsay added, “I’m very blessed that I have that opportunity to still work from home while taking care of her. Going through all of those milestones with her of tummy time and playtime and she just started smiling last week. It’s just so cute to really soak up all of these moments as a new mom with my baby.”
So, is an engagement in the couple’s near future?
“It’s really not on my radar,” she shared. “Because my last relationship, it was really traumatizing how it ended with Carl. I took a step back and I’m trying to learn from my mistakes. I got pregnant really quickly into the relationship and that became the focus and it’s still the focus. I’m more concerned right now about changing my baby’s diapers and her spitting up and if I can shower before 3 p.m. more than ‘let me get married.’”
