‘The Valley’ Kristen Doute Breaks Silence On Luke Broderick Split Rumors
Eagle-eyed fans of The Valley have been wondering what is going on with Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick. There have been signs that they had called it quits, as he had not been featured on her social media. She had also done some solo podcasting, and followers felt that they were destined to fail from the beginning. Now, Kristen has broken her silence as to where she and Luke stand just days before the Season 3 premiere. Keep reading for more details.
Where Do Kristen & Luke Stand?
Kristen Doute was a Vanderpump Rules OG, so viewers saw her go through many different relationships. She started out with Tom Sandoval, but that was extremely combative. Kristen then moved on to the much younger DJ James Kennedy, which ended in disaster. A few hookups led to Brian Carter, whom her friends did not care for. They felt that he was using her, and she was always miserable, so she moved on with Alex Menache. That lasted for a few years before they split as well.

Then, in June 2022, Kristen met Luke Broderick at a wedding, and the rest was history. However, he lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado, whereas she resided in California, so they did long distance. They got engaged and welcomed a baby girl, Kaia, which all played out on Bravo’s The Valley. However, ahead of the Season 3 premiere, fans spotted clues that the couple had split:
- 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?
- I am suspecting this as well. I’m sorry to say they were never going to last, if they haven’t broken up yet, they will within the next year or two.
Now, Kristen Doute is breaking her silence on what is really going on. A fan saw a clip from The Valley, Season 3, of Kristen and Luke’s postpartum struggles. They then asked if the couple was still together. Kristen simply replied: “Yes” with a heart emoji. That must make followers very happy to know they made it through.

Real Struggles
As The Valley viewers may have seen in the Season 3 promos, Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick are adjusting to postpartum life. They are struggling with intimacy, which is a very real thing for new parents. At the same time, their co-stars Nia and Danny Booko have just welcomed baby number four. So, they are in the same boat and are sharing relatable stories. Fans are more than ready to see Kristen as a mother and expressed their excitement:
- I can’t wait to see you glow as a mother ❤️🔥
- OMG SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU AS A MOM!!
- You’re amazing and have always been genuine and we love that about you!!
They did feel that Luke needed to calm down regarding intimacy so soon after having a baby. He needed to respect Kristen, her body, and what she went through. Hopefully, they can continue to thrive as time goes on.
