Pregnant Kristen Doute reveals gender of first child at party hosted by VPR pal Brittany Cartwright

As a die-hard fan of Vanderpump Rules, I can hardly contain my excitement as Kristen Doute and her fiance Luke Broderick are expecting a baby girl! After following Kristen’s journey for years, it feels like we’ve grown up together – from wild nights at SUR to navigating the complexities of love and friendship.

Kristen Doute and her fiance Luke Broderick are going to have a baby girl.

At a gathering organized by former star of Vanderpump Rules, Brittany Cartwright, the parents-to-be announced the gender of their child during a gender reveal celebration.

The gathering took place earlier this month at Cartwright’s residence, yet it wasn’t until now that Doute, who is 41 years old, disclosed the baby’s gender.

Sharing snaps on Instagram, Doute together with her partner (aged 33) discovered the sex of their unborn child using a balloon drop package filled with pink balloons.

In a jubilant manner, Broderick excitedly raised his arms high up before planting a passionate kiss on his overjoyed partner, then embracing her tightly.

‘Baby girl on the way,’ Doute captioned the carousel.

The post also included joyful photos of the parents-to-be posing beside hot pink smoke and guests at their bash.

At the event, it was an assemblage of notable celebrities hailing from The Valley, graced by the presence of Zack Wickham, Nia Sanchez, and her spouse, Danny Broko.

A slew of friends and family also attended via Zoom.

Not pictured in the post was Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Schwartz, who also was among the guests.

Nia and Danny Booko, who hail from The Valley, as well as Tom Schwartz, were in attendance, she shared with Us Weekly. Moreover, we invited numerous friends and relatives to join us via a private Zoom call for the unveiling event.

The couple ‘couldn’t be happier’ to have a daughter, she explained.

‘Luke was made to be a girl dad,’ she gushed of her fiance.

Last week, Doute posted pictures of the celebration on Instagram, showcasing the fun party decorations that Cartwright had prepared.

Cartwright aimed to maintain a playful atmosphere during the gender reveal, offering amusing drink cups and napkins adorned with golden text that said, “Here just for the baby’s gender.

Kristen announced she is expecting her first child with fiance Luke last month. 

Doute shared the baby news and snaps of her baby bump as she confirmed her pregnancy with People.

With a heart full of joy, the popular TV personality gently rested a hand on her expanding belly, displaying her ultrasound image with pride.

Doubt, having experienced a miscarriage the previous year, shared her path toward beginning her family. She mentioned that she and Broderick consulted a fertility specialist during the summer to get that additional support.

The Valley star became pregnant after undergoing IUI (intrauterine insemination).

She shared with the media that following our miscarriage from last year, we’ve decided to start trying again in early 2024. Aware of the potential impact of my age on conception, I had conversations with Luke about seeking additional assistance or extra efforts for conceiving.

Towards the end of summer, we chose to consult with a fertility expert to understand our available choices and what might be our subsequent move if we opted for that path. The following month was filled with a flurry of activity — learning about fertility matters, eventually undergoing hormone injections, and preparing my body for IUI (intrauterine insemination),” she explained.

The pair reached out to Dr. Carolyn Alexander at the Southern California Reproductive Center for assistance, a process they found ‘remarkable’ or ‘extraordinary’.

And not long after, Doute became pregnant.

After undergoing the IUI treatment, the subsequent two weeks seemed like endless years. To ensure an accurate pregnancy test result, a waiting period of two weeks was necessary, but in her heart, she believed it had been successful. She decided to test a day early and was delighted to see the bold ‘PREGNANT’ message displayed on the test.

I felt a mix of relief, joy, excitement, happiness, and a bit of nervousness. As soon as I shared the news with Luke, his reaction wasn’t one of surprise but sheer happiness that IUI worked on the first try (we knew it might not). To put it simply, he was overjoyed and incredibly excited, to say the least!

The couple’s child is due in June.
