the valleyof Kristen Dout Preparing to welcome her first baby, Us Weekly can confirm exclusively.
Dota, 41, opened up exclusively to us On learning the news with Broderick, 33, and their friends, including a colleague Vanderpump Rules alum Brittany Cartwright. “Luke and I didn’t want to throw a big reveal party, but we did want the gender reveal to us!” Duet told us. “Brittany is my best friend and we share an OB, so it made perfect sense for my doctor to call her with the news.”
Cartwright, 35, f the valleyof Zack Wickham “Kept the secret for almost a week” before telling Dota and Broderick. “They had a big bag full of pink balloons, completely hidden from us, and when we pulled the tie, the balloons came down and we saw that we were having a girl,” Dutta recalled, adding that there were “pink smoke cannons” to make the celebration even more special.
Nia and Danny Boko (m the valley) were there and Tom Schwartz,” continued the mother-to-be. “We also had a lot of friends and family members on a private zoom link for exposure.”
Kristen Dout’s romance with Luke Broderick started as a summer fling, but quickly turned into something more. The Vanderpump Rules alum met Broderick in June 2022 while serving as a bridesmaid and bridesmaid at their mutual friend’s wedding. “Right after we met at the wedding, or, like, spent time at the wedding, we had sex,” Duta (…)
Dutta and her fiance “couldn’t be happier” to have a daughter on the way – but both were convinced they were having a boy. “I guessed wrong 100 percent of the time when it came to my friends’ pregnancies, and not shockingly, I didn’t match mine either,” she teased.
However, Broderick initially had a feeling they would welcome a baby girl, but “changed his mind the day of the reveal.” Dout snapped, “Luke was made to be a girl’s father.”
The couple has their little name picked out “for a while,” but when it comes to her nursery, some details aren’t set in stone. “I’m still playing with the nursery theme,” Dutta said us. “But regardless of gender, it was always neutral with pops of the accent colors we chose; cozy and a bit boho.”
News broke in November that the couple were expecting their first baby. Dutta and Broderick became pregnant through IUI (intrauterine insemination).
“I felt relieved, shocked, happy, excited and nervous. The second I told Luke, he wasn’t surprised, but was so happy that the IUI worked the first time (because) we were prepared that it might not,” said the reality star. people last month “He was happy and beyond excited, to say the least! Our due date is in June and we are really looking forward to expanding our little family and becoming parents!”
us exclusively confirmed in September that Broderick proposed To Duta in Hawaii after two years of marriage. “I knew from the moment we met that Luke was my man,” Dout gushed following their engagement. “I am so excited to continue this journey together, now as engaged people.”
While mapping out their future together, the two wanted to reach specific relationship milestones in a certain order. “After we got engaged, Luke, you were actually straight up like, ‘We’re not going to plan a wedding until after babies,'” Daute recalled during an episode of their “Balancing Act” podcast in September. “I feel like we’re on the baby train.”
Broderick agreed at the time that walking down the aisle was not the couple’s first priority. “With our timeline, we have to have a baby first and then start planning after that,” he said. “I know women like to feel really good in their wedding dress. After she gives birth, we’ll start planning a year later. … There are all these different complications (with pregnancy) that are better done after the fact.”
Dout in the past expressed concerns About how her age might affect her path to motherhood. “Obviously, I think a lot of people know that a geriatric pregnancy is actually over 35 and now I’m 40,” she said on the “Sex, Love and What’s More” podcast in October 2023. “(My doctor) recommended it as someone who didn’t freeze his eggs Or do anything for us to give it a real chance while we’re ovulating.”
Along with consulting her doctor, Dauta found guidance from an unexpected source. “My psychic (told me last year) that I have a child waiting for me on the other side but that I’m not going to get pregnant when I’m 40. It’s going to be somewhere between 41 and 42,” she continued. “So we started talking honestly about our plans to try, I decided not to put pressure on myself because I believe in my medium. I’m not going to worry about having a baby in 2023.”
In another episode of the same podcast a month later, Dauta revealed that she experienced a “unviable pregnancy” which led to a miscarriage. “I know that once Luke and I get through this we can try again,” she said in November 2023 while recounting the “horrifying” loss. “We were very lucky and we were very lucky to get pregnant so quickly.”
