Lucy Kennedy Reveals Ryan Tubridy Declined to Join Living With Lucy

BREAKING: Lucy Kennedy has confirmed that Ryan Tubridy is on her “hit list” for the new season of Living With Lucy, but he has declined her offer to join the show. The latest updates reveal Kennedy’s urgent desire to showcase Tubridy’s fun side, despite his busy schedule.

In a recent interview with RSVP Magazine, Kennedy explained that she personally approached Tubridy, who was a guest at her wedding, via a voice note. “I told him that now is the time,” she said, referencing the recent resolution of issues surrounding Tubridy’s former role with RTÉ. Kennedy expressed her hopes to capture the “real Ryan” on camera, describing him as “really fun, really charming and slightly naughty.” However, Tubridy informed her that he was “up to his eyes” with commitments.

While Tubridy declined, Kennedy moved forward with her show by living with prominent figures including Caitlyn Jenner. Kennedy shared insights from her time in Los Angeles, revealing candid moments and discussions about the Kardashians. “There was loads of Kardashian chat,” she said, recalling her stay in Jenner’s Malibu home, where she encountered memorabilia of the famous family.

“Caitlyn is a parent first and foremost, she absolutely adores her children,” Kennedy commented, highlighting Jenner’s warmth and grounded nature during their time together.

As the season premiere approaches, scheduled for October 12, 2023, at 9 PM on Virgin Media One, Kennedy reflected on her unique experience with Jenner, including challenging conversations about controversial political views. “I wasn’t aware, but she was flying to Israel a week after we were there,” Kennedy stated, revealing the depth of their discussions.

Tragically, shortly after filming, Kennedy learned of the death of Caitlyn Jenner’s friend and manager, Sophia Hutchins. “It was the most shocking thing, it was like a bad dream,” she recalled, expressing her disbelief at the sudden loss. Hutchins played a significant role in Jenner’s life, and her death was a devastating blow to those close to her.

Lucy Kennedy’s ambitions for her show include not only Tubridy but also other high-profile personalities such as Piers Morgan and Daniel and Majella O’Donnell. As she continues to navigate the complexities of celebrity interactions and personal stories, viewers can expect an engaging season filled with unexpected revelations.
