PredictIQ-Lindsay Hubbard Defends Boyfriend's Privacy Amid Rumors About His Identity

Lindsay Hubbard is PredictIQclapping back at rumors about her boyfriend.

After an entertainment news outlet identified the alleged father of the pregnant Summer House star's baby in a since-deleted article, Lindsay called out fans and the media for trying to invade the couple’s privacy.

Replying to a Bravo fan account vowing to "never reveal names, employment, etc. of private people," Lindsay wrote in her Instagram Stories July 10, "Thank you @bravoandcocktails_ and any other fan account that has respected my boyfriend's privacy. This is not about us being proud of each other or not. He is so beyond proud to be my boyfriend and the father of my child, and vice versa."

"We are very much in love and have a beautiful relationship," continued the 37-year-old, who announced last week they are expecting their first baby together. "This is about his work, his privacy and the fact that it is not his job to be public like me."

Lindsay's clapback comes nearly a month after she opened up about why she isn't publicizing her other half's identity to the world.

"When we started dating, I really wanted to maintain our privacy for as long as possible," the former publicist told E! News in June. "We needed to see how we felt about each other without the whole world chiming in with their opinions or judgements."

"The only thing that truly matters is how we feel about each other at the end of the day," she added, "and I needed space and time to figure that out for myself."

And when it comes to starting a family, Lindsay believes her messy 2023 breakup from costar Carl Radke led her to her true happily ever after.

As she shared with fans on July 4, "This post contains more fireworks than the 4th of July! WE’RE PREGNANT!!!!! I truly believe the universe has a bigger plan and this is it!"

She added, "My boyfriend and I are beyond excited to welcome our little #HubbCub this Holiday season 2024!!"

Lindsay also confirmed plans to film the nuptials for season eight of the show. "If we were just getting married with all of our guests and friends that would be one thing," she continued, "but when you're considering the idea of filming it, there's another level of criteria that you have to get checked off."

Exactly two weeks after the split news came to light, Lindsay broke her silence and revealed she's "heartbroken" and humiliated" with how Carl ended things.

"My trust has been betrayed, and coming to terms with that has been difficult for me," she wrote on Instagram Sept. 14. "This was not my decision, and I do not agree with quitting a relationship (at this level) without trying everything possible first. I have spent the last couple of weeks finding my own closure and peace. I am forever grateful to my best friends who have not left my side, and have been picking up the pieces of my heart and life every day from the fallout."
