Kristen Doute is a mom!
On Friday (June 13), the 42-year-old star of The Valley announced that she and fiancé Luke Broderick welcomed their first child together, a baby girl, back Wednesday, June 11.
“She’s here, and we still can’t believe it. Luke is even hotter as a dad, and I just feel so lucky,” Kristen told Us Weekly. “And even though I haven’t slept or showered in two days, seeing our daughter and finally being able to hold her makes it all worth it. We’re completely overwhelmed with love and so grateful for her— our lives are already changed completely.”

Kristen and Luke, 34, named their baby Kaia Lily. The Bravo-lebrity said that the inspiration behind Kaia‘s name, which is Hawaiian for “the sea,” came from the couple’s love for the Aloha State where they got engaged in September 2024 after two years of dating.
“We knew we wanted our baby name to have something to do, or revolve around, water,” Kristen explained. “Lillies are my favorite flower. They’re associated with new beginnings, beauty, and also the name Lily indicates a ‘gentle and compassionate nature, suggesting a kind and caring personality.’”
Congrats to the new parents! If you missed it, another The Valley couple also just recently welcomed a baby.
