Vanderpump Rules Alum Kristen Doute Is Engaged to Luke Broderick

As I delve into the tumultuous world of SUR and its employees, it’s fascinating to see how their personal lives have unfolded over the years. Each character seems to be on a perpetual roller coaster ride of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery.

Kristen Doute is pumped about her future.

Previously starring on “Vanderpump Rules,” she shared that her relationship with Luke Broderick has led to an engagement, following nearly two years of romance.

In their joint Instagram post on September 6th, Kristen and Luke expressed that they are as bound to each other as this ring I’m wearing is to my finger. They also shared that among all the fish in the ocean, you picked me.

The friends of the stars who reside in the Valley, even those from the Bravo world, were unable to resist joining in the festivities.

Brittany Cartwright expressed her joy by saying, “I’m so thrilled! I love you a lot,” while Tom Schwartz simply said, “You look absolutely stunning.

In their shared life journey, as portrayed on Bravo, Luke took Kristen by complete surprise when proposing, as she revealed to Us Weekly in her September 6 interview, stating that it was utterly unexpected.

After all, he’d told her to keep an eye on the sunset as he got down on one knee.

She mentioned that she felt certain from our first encounter that Luke was the one for her. She’s overjoyed to proceed on this adventure hand-in-hand with him, now as engaged couple.

Luke suggested a stunning ring design, featuring a 14K white gold setting, an impressive 4.27 carat Emerald cut diamond, and an additional half carat of diamonds on the band and hidden halo. The intricate creation was designed by their close friend Kyle Chan, as reported by the outlet.

Kristen and Luke, who crossed paths at a mutual friend’s wedding, made their relationship official in December 2022. They revealed their romantic involvement on the podcast they both host, Sex, Love, and Other Important Topics.

Kristen openly declared, “Luke and I are in a relationship,” she shared with everyone at that time. “Many of my friends, after listening to our podcast, agreed, ‘Yes, it certainly seems quite apparent.’

Initially, Kristen wasn’t sure if this happy ending was destined for the couple, particularly following her tumultuous relationships, such as her high-profile split with fellow Vanderpump costar Tom Sandoval.

She clarified on the podcast that she struggled with the idea of being your romantic partner. She adores you deeply, but the concept of being in a girlfriend role once more left her feeling disoriented. Instead, she yearns for a commitment that leads to becoming a wife and a mother.

Kristen went on to say, “To tell the truth, I had grown tired of being someone’s girlfriend for several years only to see things disintegrate later on.

Despite harboring reservations due to the difference in their ages (as she was 41 and he was 33), she recognized that Luke was someone extraordinary for her.

As Kristen added, once she “stopped clawing my way out of my last relationship, I found you.”

A significant portion of the initial season of Vanderpump Rules, airing in 2013, revolved around the turmoil caused by Jax’s infidelity with Stassi in Las Vegas. Following his liaison with fellow cast member Kristen Doute in the second season, the relationship between them ultimately ended for good.

In 2017, a former student at VPR started dating a casting executive while she was still working on the show. Following her dismissal from the series in 2020, Stassi and Beau got married in September of that year amidst the ongoing pandemic. Their daughter, Hartford, arrived in January 2021.

In May 2022, they conducted a formal wedding ceremony in Italy, and in 2023, they were blessed with their second child, a son named Messer.

In 2015, Jax encountered Brittany, this being after his split with Stassi. After overcoming a betrayal controversy involving Jax and their fellow cast member Faith Stowers, they tied the knot at a castle in Brittany’s hometown Kentucky in 2019. Their wedding special was broadcasted on Bravo soon afterward.

In April 2021, Jax and Brittany became parents for the first time, welcoming their son named Cruz, a year following their departure from the show.

Regrettably, it was disclosed in February 2024 that they had parted ways; Brittany had vacated their shared home at that time. It wasn’t until August of the same year that she formally submitted divorce papers.

After his split with Kristen Doute, Tom started dating Ariana when she joined the show during filming season three in 2013. Over the next nine years, they became one of the most reliable couples on VPR, buying a house, adopting dogs, and even writing a cocktail book together.

Due to its stability, it was a shock to fans when news broke about the seven-month affair between the co-owner of TomTom and one of his co-stars in March 2023. This revelation ultimately led to his split from Ariana.

After the cheating incident, Tom has attributed their growing distance to a lack of emotional connection as one factor. Additionally, he declared that they had already parted ways when his infidelity became public knowledge; however, he confessed that his first kiss with Raquel was in August 2022 – well before Ariana discovered the truth.

A month following Ariana’s split from Tom due to his infidelity with Raquel, the renowned reality star found new love with personal trainer Daniel Wai. In April 2023, they were seen sharing affectionate moments and getting close during the first weekend of Coachella.

They are still going strong over one year later.

After her divorce from Mike Shay in 2017, Scheana encountered Brock in San Diego two years later through mutual friends. It was an instant connection for them. The duo became parents to their daughter, Summer Moon Honey, in April 2021 and eventually got married.

As an over-the-moon fanatic, I couldn’t help but be captivated by Scheana and Brock’s breathtaking August 2022 Cancún wedding during season 10 of VPR. However, it was only on the show’s April 2023 episode that she spilled the beans about a little-known secret: they had actually tied the knot legally, in a clandestine ceremony, a full year before their destination nuptials!

After six years of dating, the longtime couple tied the knot in August 2016. But their stormy relationship, often displayed on Bravo, was marked by tension and frequent arguments for several years. Eventually, Katie reached her limit. In the end, they were together for twelve years before Katie filed for divorce from the TomTom co-owner in March 2022.

Originally maintaining a cordial relationship post-breakup, Tom’s kiss with Raquel in August 2022 shattered any prospects of friendship between them. In season 10 of VPR, Katie began seeing 26-year-old actor Satchel Clendenin as a new love interest, but their romance has since ended.

Tom is also currently single.

For a period of five years, James and Raquel were in a relationship, eventually becoming engaged. However, they called it quits in November 2021. Later on, the ex-beauty queen attributed some of their separation to James’ anger problems.

At VPR’s ninth season reunion, broadcasted in January 2022, it was disclosed that James and Raquel had hardly engaged in intimate moments during the two preceding years prior to their separation.

James briefly date Kristen after joining the show during season 3, but the two broke up in 2015.

In January 2022, approximately two months following his separation from Raquel, James was seen with Ally Lewber for the first time. They walked their first official red carpet event together the following month.

On the premiere of season 10, Ally first appeared on ‘Vanderpump Rules’. Despite some worries about his alcohol consumption, her relationship with James remains robust.

In October 2021, the actress and film producer who is also known as a Bravo star ended their three-year relationship. Prior to their separation, they had a child named Ocean in March 2021. Later, Lala attributed part of their breakup to accusations that Randall was unfaithful, although he has denied such allegations regarding extramarital affairs.

In the tenth season of VPR, Lala admitted that she hadn’t engaged in any intimate relationships since their split, but she re-entered the dating scene by going on a date with a man while on a girls’ vacation at Lake Havasu.

Lala is currently still single and mingling, as is Randall.

Following Sandoval’s relationship with Jax, Kristen intermittently dated Brian Carter in the Bravo show. Later, she was involved with Alex Menache for two years until they parted ways in June 2022.

Kristen quickly discovered love once more in the same month. She encountered Luke Broderick when they both were bridesmaid and groomsman at a mutual friend’s wedding that summer, and ever since then, they have been an item. Not only do they share their romantic life, but he also frequently co-hosts her podcast named Love, Sex and What Else Matters.

The pair announced their engagement in September 2024.

In March 2023, Kristina, a recurring character on the show since season two, gave birth to her first child, a baby boy named River, with her partner Max Ville. The couple has been in a relationship for more than a dozen years.

After his divorce, Schwartz found himself in a genuine long-term relationship for the first time in years, as he began to date Sophia Skoro.

In March 2024, he confessed his affection, stating, “She is one of the most extraordinary individuals on the planet. Tough as nails, yet full of life. Her humor is unique and she’s a hilarious character. She’s incredibly intelligent, highly accomplished, and successful.
