‘The Valley’ Kristen Doute & Luke Broderick Split?
Have The Valley stars Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick split ahead of the Season 3 premiere? They got engaged in Season 2 during a planned trip to Hawaii. Now, fans believe that the duo has called it quits. So, what clues have led them to that conclusion? Keep reading for more details.
Have Kristen Doute & Luke Broderick Split?
It took a long time, but Kristen Doute finally found her soulmate in Luke Broderick. They met at a wedding in 2022 and had a long-distance romance for some time. Eventually, they decided to start trying for a baby, which was a struggle as they suffered a miscarriage. They also faced fertility issues, all of which played out on The Valley. Finally, Luke gathered the cast together to go to Hawaii, where he proposed, Kristen said “yes,” and then, they found out they were expecting their first child. They welcomed their daughter, Kaia, in June 2025, and are ready for Season 3 of the hit Bravo show.
Unfortunately, it appears that the couple may not make it to the premiere of the hit Bravo series. Eagle-eyed fans have spotted signs that Luke and Kristen have called it quits. One fan posted this observation:
- Looking at Kristen and Luke’s ig, they haven’t posted with each other. She isn’t wearing her ring in her diet ad post. No post for her birthday from him. They broke up, right?
After asking about their status, it made other followers start to wonder what was going on. The Valley fans began looking at Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick’s social media accounts to see if they could spot additional clues. They used to co-host a podcast, Balancing Act with Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick, but the latest episode only had Kristen with their co-star, Zack Wickham.

In the preview for Season 3 of The Valley, the couple is having problems with postpartum intimacy, and it looks like they may not make it. Other notable couples on the series have split ahead of the season premieres, such as Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, and Michelle and Jesse Lally.
Over & Done?
The last time that Luke Broderick posted with Kristen Doute was during BravoCon in November 2025. Yet, it was with the cast of The Valley, and he does not post all that much on social media. After doing some digging, it did appear that something was going on with the couple and that they were not as close as before. Some believed having a baby strained their relationship, while others felt they moved too fast and that was their downfall:
- Having a baby is so rough on your relationship
- Especially when the relationship steps happened at hyper speed. The met, fucked, moved in, got on a show, engaged, baby. It was allll sooo fast and she had just gotten out of a relationship.
- I hope they are still together. I felt she was a better person with him and he helped her think about her actions and self reflect.
- I was wondering the same thing, but on the latest podcast with Zach she brought Luke up a few times so it sounds like they are still together
It was noted that postpartum can bloat your fingers, so that could be why. However, Luke did not want to leave Colorado Springs, Colorado, for a life in California. Therefore, that could have been the final straw if they ended things.
Do you foresee Kristen and Luke having an everlasting love, or do you think they are separated? Let us know and watch the premiere of The Valley April 1st on Bravo.
