Kristen Doute is going to be a mom!
The Vanderpump Rules alum, 41, announced that she is expecting her first child with her fiancé Luke Broderick.
Doute shared the baby news and snaps of her baby bump while confirming her pregnancy with People.
The happy reality star tenderly placed a hand on her growing belly as she proudly showed off her ultrasound.
Doute, who suffered a miscarriage last year, detailed her journey to starting a family and said she met with a fertility expert over the summer to give her an “extra push.”
The Valle star underwent an IUI (intrauterine insemination) in order to get pregnant.

“After losing the pregnancy last year, we decided to start trying in early 2024,” she told the outlet. “I knew my age could be a factor in conceiving, so Luke and I talked about looking for an extra push, a little help.”
‘At the end of the summer, we decided to meet with a fertility specialist to find out our options and what the next step might be if we decided to go down that route. The next month was a whirlwind: educating myself about fertility and eventually hormone injections and preparing my body for IUI (intrauterine insemination),’ she said.
The couple sought help from Dr. Carolyn Alexander at the Southern California Reproductive Center, an experience they described as ‘amazing.’
And soon after, Doute became pregnant.
‘The two weeks after the IUI procedure seemed like years. To get a correct result on a pregnancy test, it took 2 weeks and I had to wait, but in my heart I knew it had worked. I took the test a day before and got the great result of PREGNANCY,” she said.
‘I felt relieved, overwhelmed, happy, excited and nervous. The moment I told Luke, he wasn’t surprised, but he was VERY happy that the IUI worked the first time (we were prepared that it might not work). I was joyful and beyond excited, to say the least!’
The couple’s son will be born in June.
‘We’re looking forward to expanding our little family and becoming parents!’ Kristen gushed.
Kristen and her fiance sought the help of a fertility expert to conceive.
The couple recently got engaged.
