Kristen Doute is going to be a mom!
The Vanderpump Rules alum, 41, has announced she is expecting her first child with fiance Luke Broderick.
Doute shared the baby news and snaps of her baby bump as she confirmed her pregnancy with People.
The overjoyed reality star tenderly placed a hand upon her growing midsection as she proudly showcased her sonogram.
Doute, who suffered a miscarriage last year, detailed her journey to starting her family, saying she met with a fertility expert over the summer for an 'extra push.'
The Valley star underwent IUI (intrauterine insemination) in order to become pregnant.

'After our pregnancy loss last year, we decided to start trying in early 2024,' she told the outlet. 'I knew my age could be a factor in conceiving, so Luke and I discussed going for an extra push, a little help.'
'In late summer, we decided to meet with a fertility specialist to learn about our options and what could be the next step if we decided to go that route. The next month was a whirlwind — getting educated on fertility, and eventually hormone shots and preparing my body for IUI (intrauterine insemination),' she said.
The couple sought the help of Dr. Carolyn Alexander at the Southern California Reproductive Center, an experience they described as 'incredible.'
And not long after, Doute became pregnant.
'The two weeks following the IUI procedure felt like years. 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. I tested one day early and got the big PREGNANT result staring back at me,' she said.
'I was relieved, overwhelmed, happy, excited and nervous. 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!'
The couple's child is due in June.
'We are really looking forward to expanding our little family and becoming parents!' Kristen gushed.
