Lindsay Hubbard is embracing coparenting when it comes to her daughter, Gemma.
Hubbard, 39, welcomed the one-year-old in December 2024 with Turner Kufe. While they have since broken up, which she confirmed during the Summer House season 9 reunion, the two are still on the same page about parenting and it's going "great."
"Gemma's amazing. She is just a godsend. She's 16 months old," Hubbard exclusively told PEOPLE at The Daily Front Row's 10th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards on Tuesday, April 14. "I feel like I honestly gave birth to my twin. I'm apologizing to my parents all the time because I'm like, 'I'm exhausted.' But she has all the elements that you want in a kid."
She added, "She has the big personality. She's fearless. She's a tomboy, but she's a girly girl. She loves to cuddle, play, socialize, and wants to be the mayor everywhere she goes, saying hi to everyone. She blows kisses. She takes flowers off of tables, and hands them to people. She learned how to stir, because I stir my coffee in the morning with a straw. Now, whenever she sees a drink with ice in it, in a straw, she stirs it for people. She'll only take a sip out of her sippy cup if she's cheersing someone. I'm like, 'Oh no. What did I do?' "

“Even on the weekends, when we don't have our nanny and it's just the two of us tag-teaming being parents, we're out to brunch, we're going to visit friends,” Hubbard previously said about coparenting on the reunion episode.
Since Gemma was born, she has made brief appearances on the Bravo reality series. The baby got to see Hubbard's costars during the reunion, and Kyle Cooke briefly chatted with her.

"Gemma was so personable," he told PEOPLE. "She just locks eyes with you and makes faces and reactions … I just had the best experience." Wilson, 31, said that he “almost cried twice.”
“I felt — not like a father — but I feel like I connected with her specifically and it changed everything," he added. "That's probably the dumbest thing I've ever said, but it was awesome. I just had a great time."
She announced her pregnancy in July 2024, while they were filming for season 9. In a now-deleted Instagram post with Clearblue, she captioned, "WE ARE PREGNANT. I truly believe the universe has a bigger plan and this is it!"
"To think where I was this time last year is insane to me," Hubbard told PEOPLE following her pregnancy reveal. "All of a sudden, for a girl who's always wanted to be a mom, there I was at 37 years old, staring down the barrel of being single and questioning when dreams of having a family would happen."
During the interview, she also explained that first getting the news felt "like my prayers were answered."
Hubbard celebrated Gemma's first birthday in December 2025 with an adorable Instagram post.
"I cannot believe my baby is ONE!!!☝🏼🥹," she wrote. "Happy birthday to my sweet, energetic, strong, funny, life of the party, doggie-loving, walking, talking, independent, most beautiful baby girl on the planet! 🥰🎉 I love you with all of my heart my sweet angel 👼🏻 I am so proud to be your mama! 🤍."

In February, Hubbard filmed a house tour with Bravo, where she showed off her New York City apartment. During the video, she showed that she and Gemma have two separate living rooms.
Hers has a beige couch with a TV, while Gemma's area is filled with toys and books. “I'm really lucky to have this much space. I mean, you really don't find this often in N.Y.," she said. "I love it down here. Why leave?”
