Former “Vanderpump Rules” star Kristen Doute is pregnant with her first child. Doute, who appeared on the hit Bravo show for the first eight seasons, will welcome a baby with fiance Luke Broderick in 2025.
Many “Vanderpump Rules” fans speculated that Doute may be pregnant after viewing a TikTok shared by Tom Schwartz. In the video, Doute danced around in a Detroit Lions jersey, and her baby bump was clearly visible.
Doute and Broderick got engaged in Hawaii in September 2024.
Kristen Doute Previously Suffered a Miscarriage
On an episode of her podcast in November 2023, Doute shared that she previously suffered a miscarriage.
“I only feel comfortable talking about this because I know so many friends of mine have gone through this. I know so many women have been through this. And it’s really [expletive] terrifying because you always think, ‘What’s wrong, what did I do wrong? Could I have done something different?'” she said on the November 26, 2023, episode of “Sex, Love, and What Else Matters.”
“And my doctor and my friends told me, inside and out, up and down, there’s no cause. They don’t know why. The only silver lining, the fact that we’ve now been digesting this for the last four or five days, is that I know once Luke and I are past this, we can try again. And we were very lucky and very fortunate that we got pregnant so quickly. We were so so lucky because it could have gone a different way for me at my age,” she continued.
“I haven’t gone through IVF, I haven’t frozen my eggs. I haven’t done anything. I just think there’s something in God’s plan. It was just a really unfortunate thing that happened to us. And I know that we can try fairly soon. And I think that we’re very hopeful to have a very healthy pregnancy the next time around,” she added.
Fans previously thought Doute was pregnant when she stepped out in a crop top and leggings. Others criticized her weight. At the time, Doute took screenshots of some of the messages that she read and shared them on her Instagram Stories on March 9, 2023.
“Good morning,” she captioned the post. A bit later on in the day, Doute shared another post, this time showing off her flat stomach.
“I just wanted to say I’m so sorry to all of the trolls out there that I wasn’t standing like this while, unbeknownst to me, there were paparazzi right there. So, no, I’m not the skinniest person in the world but, here it is, here it is,” she captioned a video of herself turning sideways.
Kristen Doute Has Wanted to Become a Mom for a Long Time
Doute has been very candid about wanting to start a family. In fact, she’s talked about her desire to have a baby multiple times on her new podcast.
On the January 4, 2023, episode of “Sex, Love, and What Else Matters,” Doute’s boyfriend said that he and Doute were planning on looking for a house sometime in 2023. Podcast guest and longtime Doute pal Tom Schwartz asked Doute if she was pregnant.
“No. I’m drinking wine right now,” she responded. “I wish I were pregnant,” she continued, adding, “I would love to be pregnant right now. But it’s not true.”
On another episode while chatting with pal Lala Kent, Doute expressed something similar.
“I can’t stop [expletive] talking about how much I want a baby more than anything in the world,” she said.
