Kristen Doute’s romance with Luke Broderick started as a summertime hookup, but quickly became something more.

The Vanderpump Rules alum met Broderick in June 2022 while serving as a bridesmaid and groomsman in their mutual friend’s nuptials.

“Right after we met at the wedding, or, like, hung out at the wedding, we had Sєx,” Doute revealed during a December 2022 episode of the couple’s “Love, Sєx and What Else Matters” podcast.

Doute confessed she was hesitant to jump into a relationship with Broderick after her split from Alex Menache in June 2022.

“I battled with being, like, your person. I love you so much, but just the thought of being someone’s girlfriend again threw me through a loop because I want to be a wife and I want to be a mother,” she explained.

The pair ultimately pushed through their respective reservations and went public in December 2022. They took their romance to the next level in March 2024 by costarring on The Valley.
