Reality star Kristen Doute is going to be a mom! The Valley star announced that she is pregnant with her first baby with her fiance Luke Broderick. “We are really looking forward to expanding our little family.”
The Vanderpump Rules alum shared her pregnancy news in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, detailing her journey to conceive following pregnancy loss. Kristen shared with the news outlet, “After our pregnancy loss last year, we decided to start trying in early 2024. I knew my age could be a factor in conceiving, so Luke and I discussed going for an extra push, a little help.”
The Blood on Canvas star went on to detail her fertility journey. “In late summer, we decided to meet with a fertility specialist to learn about our options and what could be the next step if we decided to go that route. The next month was a whirlwind — getting educated on fertility, and eventually hormone shots and preparing my body for IUI.” After going through with IUI, the reality star recalled, “The two weeks following the IUI procedure felt like years. To get a correct outcome on a pregnancy test, 2 weeks time had to pass and I had to wait it out but in my heart I knew it had worked. I tested one day early and got the big PREGNANT result staring back at me.”
On how the couple, who have been together since 2022, felt about the news, Kristen shared, “I was relieved, overwhelmed, happy, excited and nervous. The second I told Luke, he wasn’t surprised, but was SO happy that IUI worked the first time (we were prepared that it may not). He was joyful and beyond excited, to say the least!” She went on to reveal when their little one is due. “Our due date is in June and we are really looking forward to expanding our little family and becoming parents!”
Congratulations to Kristen and Luke on the news of their rainbow baby!
