Kristen Doute shares that Brittany Cartwright knows her baby’s gender, but she and fiancé Luke are keeping it a secret.
Kristen Doute, star of The Valley, made a fun revelation about her pregnancy on Instagram on November 26, 2024. After announcing the exciting news of her pregnancy, she shared with her followers that her Bravo costar, Brittany Cartwright, knows the gender of her baby – but Kristen and her fiancé, Luke Broderick, are keeping the surprise!
“Guess what… @brittany knows the gender of our baby! (and we don’t),” Doute, 41, wrote on her Instagram Story. Cartwright, 35, reshared the post on her own story, confirming with a simple, “I doooooo.”
Earlier that day, Cartwright had congratulated Doute on her pregnancy. “Kristen is having a baby!!! I love you @kristendoute and I’m so extremely happy for you!” Cartwright, who shares a 3-year-old son named Cruz with estranged husband Jax Taylor, posted. “You will make a wonderful mother and I can’t wait to spoil this little baby with so much love!!”
Doute first shared the news of her pregnancy with People magazine. She opened up about her journey to becoming pregnant after experiencing a pregnancy loss the previous year. “After our pregnancy loss last year, we decided to start trying in early 2024. I knew my age could be a factor in conceiving, so Luke and I discussed going for an extra push, a little help,” Doute explained.
The couple decided to meet with a fertility specialist in late summer to explore their options. “It was a whirlwind — getting educated on fertility, and eventually hormone shots and preparing my body for IUI (intrauterine insemination),” Doute shared.
After the IUI procedure, Doute and Broderick got the good news just two weeks later. “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,” Doute said. She added that she tested a day early and was overjoyed to see the “PREGNANT” result.
“The second I told Luke, he wasn’t surprised, but was SO happy that IUI worked the first time (we were prepared that it may not). He was joyful 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!” Doute continued.
This happy news follows Doute’s engagement to Broderick, which was confirmed exclusively by Us Weekly two months earlier. Broderick, 33, proposed to Doute on a boat in Maui, Hawaii, in September after two years of dating. Doute described the proposal as a complete surprise. “I knew from the moment we met that Luke was my person,” she told Us Weekly at the time. “I am so excited to continue this journey together, now as fiancés.”
Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick’s journey to parenthood is one filled with love and anticipation, and they are both eagerly awaiting the arrival of their baby in June.
