'The Valley' Star Kristen Doute Is Pregnant! What We Know About Her Growing Family

Despite getting the boot from Vanderpump Rules in 2020, Kristen Doute hasn't let it deter her from her aspirations. The reality TV star has done pretty well for herself — she's since launched a podcast, written a book, created her own fashion line and pinot grigio wine, and landed a main role in Bravo's VPR spinoff series The Valley.

With her flourishing career in mind, many fans are now wondering if Kristen is gearing up to settle down and start a family with her fiancé, Luke Broderick. So, is there a baby on the way? Here's what we know.

As it turns out, Kristen Doute is pregnant! She announced the happy news in an interview with People published on Nov. 26, 2024, and a rep for her also confirmed the report.

"After our pregnancy loss last year, we decided to start trying in early 2024," Kristen shared. "I knew my age could be a factor in conceiving, so Luke and I discussed going for an extra push, a little help."

Kristen revealed that over the summer, she and Luke consulted with a fertility specialist to explore their options. She explained, "The next month was a whirlwind — getting educated on fertility, and eventually hormone shots and preparing my body for IUI (intrauterine insemination)."

The couple with Dr. Carolyn Alexander at Southern California Reproductive Center, and Kristen called the experience "incredible." She said Dr. Alexander "cared with a perfect balance of science and good energy, successfully helping us create our little miracle."

It didn't take long for Kristen to get the good news, adding that Luke was "so happy" to hear that their family is growing.

"The two weeks following the IUI procedure felt like years. To get a correct outcome on a pregnancy test, 2 weeks time had to pass and I had to wait it out but in my heart, I knew it had worked," she told the outlet. "I tested one day early and got the big PREGNANT result staring back at me."

Kristen described the moment as a mix of emotions, telling People, "I was relieved, overwhelmed, happy, excited, and nervous." When she told Luke, he "wasn't surprised" but was absolutely thrilled that the IUI worked on the first try.

"He was joyful and beyond excited, to say the least!" she added.

In her People interview, Kristen Doute shared that her due date is in June 2025. She further expressed her excitement to become a mom, saying, "Luke and I are so excited to expand our little family and start this new chapter as parents!"

On the Nov. 26, 2023, episode of their podcast, Balancing Act with Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick, the couple shared that they suffered a miscarriage at six weeks.

"I genuinely can't believe that we're putting this out there ... but I feel like for our listeners to understand where we are mentally and how difficult it is to talk about anything else, we have to kinda get this out there," Luke told listeners. "We find out that Kristen's pregnancy is not a viable pregnancy."

Kristen added, "I only feel comfortable talking about this because I know so many friends of mine have gone through this. Or, I know so many women have been through this."

"It's really f--king terrifying because you always think, 'What's wrong? What did I do wrong? Could I have done something different?'" she continued. "And my doctor and my friends have told me, inside and out, up and down, that there's no reason — you can Google it 'til the day you die — there is literally no cause."

Thankfully, Kristen and Luke aren't allowing this setback to dampen their spirits. Kristen even says that she and Luke are still "actively trying" to have a baby.
