When you're on reality TV for the better part of your twenties and then your thirties, viewers see it all. And for Kristen Doute from Vanderpump Rules and The Valley, that couldn't be more painfully true. So when Michelle Lally appears to hint that Kristen cheated on boyfriend Luke Broderick, it makes you wonder if yet another one of Kristen's relationships will see drama in front of the camera.
In the May 28 episode of The Valley, Michelle mentions Kristen's past with infidelity. When a producer asks if Michelle means Kristen cheated on Luke, her current boyfriend, Michelle doesn't respond to confirm that or to clear anything up. And now, a serious seed of doubt was planted in many viewers' minds.
Did Kristen cheat on Luke on 'The Valley'?
Besides Michelle's comment about Kristen cheating in past relationships, there's no solid proof or reason to think she cheated on Luke. Now don't get it twisted, though, because there are some theories out there. Like the one about Kristen and Jax Taylor hooking up from time to time, for instance. They do have a past that involves being unfaithful to their respective partners with each other, after all.
But Luke and Kristen might be one of the only couples to come out of the first season of The Valley unscathed. In fact, they are both still working hard at keeping their long distance relationship afloat while also hosting the podcast Balancing Act together. That certainly doesn't sound like the makings of a relationship in trouble with cheating involved. However, there is no denying that Kristen has what you might call a colorful past when it comes to cheating on relationships.
Who did Kristen Doute cheat on?
In the early days of Vanderpump Rules, Kristen admitted that she had a boyfriend when she started sleeping with then-boyfriend Tom Sandoval. Later, Kristen admitted to cheating on Tom with Jax. And eventually, Kristen fessed up to cheating on Tom multiple times throughout their tumultuous relationship.
She went on to date James Kennedy and Brian Carter. But both relationships ended poorly because of more fighting and a lack of mutual respect, neither of which seem to be present in Kristen's relationship with Luke. So there is a patterned history there, though Michelle doesn't give any more details to convince anyone that Kristen cheated on Luke as well.
Because when it comes to Luke, things appear to be very different. Kristen is also much older than she was in those early days as an employee at SUR, and she is more determined than ever before to settle down. It's unlikely that she would risk her plans by cheating on Luke. And it's even more unlikely that Luke would just accept infidelity in the relationship and stay in it. So for now, Michelle is going to have to either explain herself or move on from the topic.
