Hubbard told PEOPLE in July 2024 that Kufe is a doctor who works in biotech investing, a “high-powered job” that is in part the reason he’s a “private person.”
Despite Hubbard being the complete antithesis of her man in that very little of her life is kept undisclosed, she said she “[needs] to respect his privacy here.”
Hubbard spoke more about Kufe’s profession on theseason 9 premiere ofSummer House, which aired on Feb. 12. “Turner is very private,” she reiterated in a confessional, adding that he is not on social media. She also described her boyfriend as a mix of “nerdy,” “fun” and “so normal.”
“I found myself a f—— normie and I love it,” she joked.
Hubbard and Kufe first dated three and a half years ago and then reconnected in December 2023, a few months after Hubbard’s engagement with Radke ended. On an episode of theBitch Biblepodcastin May 2024, Hubbard said they met in the fall of 2020 and “hit it off.”
However, it was “just bad timing” for both of them as she was “in a weird place,” and Turner was figuring out “career moves.”
Ultimately, he broke it off, but, Hubbard added, “in such a respectful way.”
He explained that he wasn’t in a place to be in a serious relationship and didn’t want to “waste” her time. “You can’t even be mad,” Hubbard laughed.
However, when he reached out in December 2023, she “put him on ice” for a few weeks, explaining, “I waited three years, he can wait a month.” Come January, the two got lunch and have been dating ever since.
When reflecting on her journey after herengagement to Radke ended, Hubbard mentioned how Kufe’s return felt like a sign from the universe.
“There I was at 37 years old, staring down the barrel of being single and questioning when dreams of having a family would happen,” Hubbard told PEOPLE in July 2024. “And then this incredibleman comes back into my lifeand next thing you know, I’m pregnant. It’s like the universe was saying, ‘See? This is the time. This is the guy. Now you’re ready.’ I feel like my prayers were answered."

Hubbard and Kufewere only dating for a few months when she found out she was pregnant, the reality star told PEOPLE, and that the positive test was initially “a shock,” but after the news settled in, the couple decided it was what they wanted.
“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,” the Bravo star said.
Hubbard added that while it’s “a lot of pressure” so early on in a relationship, it hasn’t “felt like work,” because the two communicate effectively and support one another, adding that they have a “very loving, caring and healthy relationship.”

Hubbard had previously told PEOPLE that her boyfriend was “so excited” to be a father.
While speaking to PEOPLE shortly after the birth of her daughter, Hubbard revealed thatshe and Kufe had yet to move in together, though the topic “is being discussed.”
She continued, “And even though technically this is my apartment, this is our HQ for the home of our daughter and me. He basically brought over a bunch of clothes and toiletries and is essentially going between my apartment and his apartment, but rarely ever leaves me and Gemma."

On theBitch Biblepodcast, Hubbard said that her boyfriend hasn’t watched a single episode ofSummer House,adding that it’s “really refreshing.”
“He’s like, ‘[I] respect you and that’s what you do,’ but he doesn’t care about it.”
According to Hubbard, it’s unlikely fans will see him on the show. When Andy Cohen asked if Kufe would ever make an appearance onSummer Houseon a Feb. 12 episode ofWatch What Happens Live, Hubbard responded, “I don’t think so.”
