Kristen Doute is going to be a mom!
The Vanderpump Rules alum, 41, has announced she is expecting her first child with fiance Luke Broderick, 33.
Doute shared the baby news and snaps of her baby bump as she confirmed her pregnancy with People.
The overjoyed reality star tenderly placed a hand upon her growing midsection as she proudly showcased her sonogram.
Doute, who suffered a miscarriage last year, detailed her journey to starting her family, saying she and Broderick met with a fertility expert over the summer for an ‘extra push.’
The Valley star became pregnant after undergoing IUI (intrauterine insemination).

‘After our pregnancy loss 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 discussed going for an extra push, a little help.’
‘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 sH๏τs and preparing my body for IUI (intrauterine insemination),’ she said.

The couple sought the help of Dr. Carolyn Alexander at the Southern California Reproductive Center, an experience they described as ‘incredible.’
And not long after, Doute became pregnant.
‘The two weeks following the IUI procedure felt like years. To get a correct outcome on a pregnancy test, 2 weeks time had to pᴀss 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,’ she said.
‘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!’
The couple’s child is due in June.
‘We are really looking forward to expanding our little family and becoming parents!’ Doute gushed.
Kristen and her fiance sought the help of a fertility expert to help them conceive
The pregnancy news comes just two months after Doute and Broderick announced their engagement following two years together.
The Vanderpump Rules star showed off her incredible diamond engagement ring after Broderick popped the question on a yacht in Maui, Hawaii.
She captioned the snaps: ‘i’m wrapped around your finger like this ring i’m wearing out of the all the fish in the sea, you chose me.’
The pH๏τos showed Doute – flashing her abs in a white crop-top and skirt looking visibly shocked as Broderick got down on one knee.

She revealed the elegant diamond band in another snap with USWeekly revealing the ring is a ‘4.27 carat Emerald cut diamond, plus a half carat worth of diamonds on the band and hidden halo.’
Broderick popped the question on Wednesday, September 4 while the couple were filming the second season of the Bravo reality show, The Valley.
Kristen has ‘dreamt up’ her emerald cut ring design 10 years before he even proposed – and before she knew him, according to Page Six.
The outlet revealed that she went to her friend Kyle Chan with her design in 2015 after she parted ways with ex James Kennedy.
Kristen told Luke that Kyle had her dream engagement ring idea – which led him to reach out to him and get the information, per Page Six.
The ring has a 4.27 carat emerald cut diamond with a white diamond hidden halo, on top of a 14 karate gold band with several diamonds worth .5 carats.
The hidden halo is suppose to symbolize ‘the love around the center diamond,’ per Kyle via the outlet.
The lovebirds met in June 2022 while in the same wedding party.
