Bravo star Kristen Doute is engaged to her boyfriend, Luke Broderick. The couple was on vacation in Maui, Hawaii, when Broderick popped the question.
“It was a total surprise,” Doute, 41, told Us Weekly of the proposal. Broderick waited for the perfect, most picturesque moment of the day to get down on one knee; sunset.
“I knew from the moment we met that Luke was my person. I am so excited to continue this journey together, now as fiancés,” Doute said. Her ring features a 4+ carat emerald cut center diamond with diamonds on the band and a hidden halo, per the outlet. The new bauble is set in 14k white gold.
She and Broderick started dating in 2022 after meeting at the wedding of a mutual friend a few months prior. The two both star on the new Bravo show “The Valley.” Per People magazine, the proposal was recorded for the second season of the show, which is currently filming.

Kristen Doute Really Wants to Be a Mom
Doute has been very candid about wanting to start a family. In fact, she’s talked about her desire to have a baby multiple times on her new podcast.
On the January 4, 2023, episode of “Sex, Love, and What Else Matters,” Doute’s boyfriend said that he and Doute were planning on looking for a house sometime in 2023. Podcast guest and longtime Doute pal Tom Schwartz asked Doute if she was pregnant.
“No. I’m drinking wine right now,” she responded. “I wish I were pregnant,” she continued, adding, “I would love to be pregnant right now. But it’s not true.”
On another episode while chatting with pal Lala Kent, Doute expressed something similar.
“I can’t stop [expletive] talking about how much I want a baby more than anything in the world,” she said.
In November 2023, Doute shared the news that she suffered a miscarriage at six weeks.
“I only feel comfortable talking about this because I know so many friends of mine have gone through this. I know so many women have been through this. And it’s really f—— terrifying because you always think, ‘What’s wrong, what did I do wrong? Could I have done something different?'” she said on her podcast.
