Raise your glass for Kristen Doute's sweet family update.
After all, the Vanderpump Rules alum shared that she and her fiancé Luke Broderick are expecting a baby together.
"After our pregnancy loss last year, we decided to start trying in early 2024," Kristen told People in an interview published Nov. 26. "I knew my age could be a factor in conceiving, so Luke and I discussed going for an extra push, a little help."
The couple, who got engaged in September, decided to meet with a fertility expert and undergo intrauterine insemination (IUI). Two weeks after the procedure, the Valley star learned she was expecting.
"To get a correct outcome on a pregnancy test, two weeks time had to pass and I had to wait it out but in my heart I knew it had worked," she explained. "I tested one day early and got the big PREGNANT result staring back at me."
"I was relieved, overwhelmed, happy, excited and nervous," the 40-year-old explained. "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!"
As for when they're expecting to meet their little one? "Our due date is in June," she added. "We are really looking forward to expanding our little family and becoming parents!"
While it's definitely the best days of Kristin and Luke's lives, it wasn't an easy journey. The reality star previously shared more insight into the heartbreaking realities of experiencing a miscarriage at six weeks.
"I know so many women have been through this," Kristin explained on her and Luke's podcast Sex, Love, and What Else Matters last November. "It's really f--king terrifying because you always think, 'What's wrong, what did I do wrong? Could I have done something different?' And my doctor and my friends have told me, inside and out up and down, there's no cause. They don't know why."
Amid the heartbreak, Kristin was focused on the positives as she and Luke, 32, would try to conceive again in the future.
"We were very lucky and very fortunate that we got pregnant so quickly," she noted. "We were so so lucky, because it could have gone a different way for me at my age. I haven't gone through IVF, I haven't frozen my eggs, I haven't done anything. I just think there's something in God's plan."
"It was just a really unfortunate thing that happened to us," she continued. "I know that we can try fairly soon. And I think that we're very hopeful to have a very healthy pregnancy the next time around."
