Carl Radke said his ex-fiancée Lindsay Hubbard was 'much happier' filming Summer House when she was pregnant.
He said that he and his ex kept it 'cordial' while filming the upcoming season because she was expecting a baby with her new boyfriend Turner Kufe.
'It made me happy seeing her happy,' he told People on Wednesday during a live Q&A with his Summer House co-stars Kyle Cooke, Jesse Solomon and West Wilson about the hit Bravo series' ninth season.
Hubbard welcomed her baby girl, Gemma, with Kufe in early December 2024.
Radke, 40, and Hubbard, 38, dated on and off for three years until their breakup in September 2023.
After a contentious argument, Radke had ended their engagement — just weeks before they were set to tie the knot in Mexico — in the season eight finale of Summer House.

Following their split, Hubbard embarked on a new relationship and revealed she was pregnant in the summer of 2024, which coincided with their filming dates for the ninth season.
Cooke said that she arrived at the Hamptons house 'almost a totally different persona and she had a new purpose.'
He continued: 'I think she's talked about wanting to be a mom for a long time.
'She just seemed incredibly happy,' he added. 'She literally had the pregnancy glow and she was quite pleasant to be around.'
West agreed and also said that he 'found her really enjoyable this summer.'
Then, Radke chimed in and said: 'It was really nice to see her get along with everybody.'
About filming his ex, he recalled having a 'good' experience.
'Everybody's having a good time with her,' he said. 'She was much happier and it made me happy seeing her happy.'

During the chat, Radke also recalled the moment he learned his ex was pregnant. He said right before filming the first weekend, Cooke and his wife Amanda Batula told him Hubbard was expecting a baby with her new boyfriend
However, he admitted that it took him 'a little bit to kind of process' that his ex would soon be welcoming a baby with her new partner. 'I was happy for her, and for me, it was kind of like, "OK, she's moved on and she's happy and that's all that really matters"'
Even though there were still moments when he said Lindsay didn't see 'eye to eye' with him or their costars, he could see that she was in high spirits.
In one particular instance, he recalled: 'Jesse has a Shabbat dinner that he hosted, and it'll be a pretty epic fight between me and Lindsay, just verbal. There's no yelling and screaming. It's just back and forth, back and forth.'

'I was happy for her, but I was surprised a little bit,' he recalled. 'But I had a friend tell me, he's like, "Dude, this is great closure." And I agreed with that and it took me some time,' he explained.
'But filming with her all summer, it actually was good and healthy to see her, and we were cordial. We were able to get along.'
'I was happy for her, and for me, it was kind of like, "OK, she's moved on and she's happy and that's all that really matters."'
Radke and Hubbard met when they started filming season one of Summer House in 2016. Their relationship went from friendly to romantic several years later in 2021.
After just a year of dating, the pair got engaged and started planning their wedding in Mexico.
However, just a few weeks before they were set to tie the knot, Radke announced that they had called off their wedding and engagement after a little over a year after the proposal.
The forthcoming, ninth season of Summer House premieres on Wednesday, February 12 at 6 p.m. PT on Bravo.
