Kristen Doute is pregnant! Vanderpump Rules vet, 41, expecting baby with Luke Broderick
Kristen Doute is going to be a mom!
The Vanderpump Rules alum, 41, announced she is expecting her first child with fiancé Luke Broderick.
Doute shared the baby news and photos of her baby bump as she confirmed her pregnancy People.
The overjoyed reality star tenderly placed a hand on her growing bump as she proudly showed off her ultrasound scan.
Doute, who suffered a miscarriage last year, detailed her journey to starting her family and said she met with a fertility expert this summer for an “extra push.”
“After our pregnancy loss last year, we decided to start trying in early 2024,” she told the outlet. ‘I knew my age could play a role in getting pregnant, so Luke and I discussed getting an extra push, a little help.’

‘At the end of the summer we decided to meet with a fertility specialist to learn more about our options and what the next step might be if we decided to go that route. The next month was a whirlwind: I received fertility education, and eventually hormone injections and prepared my body for IUI (intrauterine insemination),” she said.
The couple sought the help of Dr. Carolyn Alexander of the Southern California Reproductive Center, an experience they described as “incredible.”
And not long after, Doute became pregnant.
‘The two weeks after the IUI procedure felt like years. To get a correct pregnancy test result, two weeks had to pass and I had to wait, but in my heart I knew it had worked. “I tested the day before and got the big PREGNANCY result staring back at me,” she said.
“I was relieved, overwhelmed, happy, excited and nervous. The second time I told Luke, he wasn’t surprised, but was SO happy that IUI worked the first time (we were prepared that it might not happen). He was happy to say the least and beyond excited!’
The couple’s child is expected in June.
‘We are really looking forward to expanding our family and becoming parents!’ Kristen gushed.
