Kristen Doute and her fiancé, Luke Broderick, are officially parents after welcoming their first baby, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm.
“She’s here, and we still can’t believe it. Luke is even hotter as a dad, and I just feel so lucky,” Doute, 42, tells 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.”

Doute and Broderick began dating after meeting at a friend’s wedding in June 2022. They went public with their relationship that December.
Us Weekly broke the news of the couple’s engagement in September 2024, revealing that Broderick proposed to Doute on a boat in Maui, Hawaii, earlier that month. “It was a total surprise,” she told Us at the time.
“I knew from the moment we met that Luke was my person,” Doute gushed. “I am so excited to continue this journey together, now as fiancés.”
In November 2024, Doute announced that she and Broderick were expecting their first baby.
“After our pregnancy loss last year, we decided to start trying in early 2024. I knew my age could be a factor in conceiving, so Luke and I discussed going for an extra push, a little help,” she told People at the time. “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).”
