Kristen Doute was clearly in the giving spirit.
Just weeks after announcing her pregnancy news, The Valley cast member surprised new mom Lindsay Hubbard with the most adorable holiday gifts. Lindsay showcased the presents via Instagram on Friday (December 27) after she and her newborn girl, Gemma Britt Kufe, experienced their “first outing” in New York City.

So, what did Kristen give the Summer House mom and daughter? Matching pajama sets from MASONGrey, a Los Angeles-based brand specializing in sleep- and loungewear. The garments featured a beautiful Cambridge Toile pattern with covered buttons and maroon piping detail throughout.
“Matching mommy + daughter nighttime outfits,” Lindsay captioned the Story. “Thank you [Kristen Doute]!!!”
But that’s not all Kristen sent. Minutes later, Lindsay posted a photo of a personalized storybook, titled Goodnight Little Gemma. The book was illustrated by Mary GrandPré, the award-winning illustrator of the Harry Potter series.
“And for our new book!!” Lindsay wrote in another Story.
Lindsay and her boyfriend welcome baby No.1
The gifts arrived less than three weeks after Lindsay announced she and her boyfriend had welcomed their first child. The Hamptons housemate celebrated the arrival on Instagram, where she posted a sweet photo of her and her beau holding Gemma’s little hands.
“She’s here!!” Lindsay captioned the December 8 photo.
Kristen was among the Bravolebrities who congratulated Linsday on her family addition.
“Love you Linds! Congrats mom and dad!!” she commented on Instagram. “And welcome to the world, baby Gemma Britt! I have a friend loading for you xoxo.”
Kristen and her fiancé, Luke Broderick, are expecting their first child
Kristen was, of course, referring to her own pregnancy, which she confirmed on November 26. The Vanderpump Rules alum spoke about her fertility journey in an interview with People magazine, just two months after she got engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Luke Broderick.
“After our pregnancy loss last year, we decided to start trying in early 2024,” Kristen said. “I knew my age could be a factor in conceiving, so Luke and I discussed going for an extra push, a little help.”
Kristen and Luke eventually went to the Southern California Reproductive Center and took the intrauterine insemination (IUI) route. About two weeks after the procedure, Kristen learned she was pregnant with her “little miracle.”
“Two weeks time had to pass and I had to wait it out but in my heart I knew it had worked,” she recalled. “I tested one day early and got the big PREGNANT result staring back at me… 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! Our due date is in June and we are really looking forward to expanding our little family and becoming parents!”
