SPILLING THE TEA: Kristen Doute Welcomes Baby Girl Kaia Lily Broderick with Fiancé Luke Broderick

Get ready for a dose of drama, romance, and new mom bliss as we dive into the latest news about Kristen Doute's highly anticipated baby arrival! The reality TV star, known for her sassy attitude and outspoken personality on Bravo's Vanderpump Rules and The Valley, has finally given birth to her first child - a beautiful baby girl named Kaia Lily Broderick.

According to sources close to the couple, Doute, 42, gave birth to her little bundle of joy earlier this week, with fiancé Luke Broderick by her side. And let's just say, they're both over the moon about their new addition! In a heartwarming Instagram announcement shared on Friday, Doute posted an adorable photo of herself holding Kaia's tiny hand, captioned: "Kaia Lily Broderick, we've never known a love like this until you." The sweet message has already racked up millions of likes and comments from fans and fellow celebrities alike.

'She's here and we still can't believe it. Luke is even hotter as a dad, and I just feel so lucky,' the star gushed; the couple seen in 2024 in L.A.

But what makes this announcement even more special is the story behind their little one's name. Doute revealed in an interview with Us Weekly that they chose Kaia because it means "sea" in Hawaiian - a nod to the location where Luke proposed last year. The reality star also gushed about her fiancé, saying he's "even hotter as a dad" and that she feels "lucky" to be a new mom.

When asked about their journey to parenthood, Doute opened up about the struggles they faced with fertility issues. In 2023, she suffered a miscarriage, which left them both heartbroken. However, after deciding to try again in early 2024, they underwent IUI (intrauterine insemination) and waited anxiously for the results.

Doute recalled: "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." And when the big day finally arrived, she shared that they were overjoyed to discover they were expecting a baby girl.

'We knew we wanted our baby name to have something to do, or revolve around, water,' Doute explained, adding that her daughter's middle name Lily is in reference to her favorite flower

But what about the nursery theme? Doute revealed that she was still deciding on the perfect design for their little one's room. "I wanted something cozy and boho, with pops of our chosen accent colors," she explained. However, it seems like Kaia is already taking over her mom's life - even getting her own Instagram account!

In a recent interview with The Scholarly Note.com, Doute chatted about her pregnancy cravings, revealing that she's been indulging in foods from her childhood, just like her co-star Nia Sanchez. The two reality TV stars also dished on their experiences as new moms, sharing the joys and challenges of parenthood.

When asked if they would feature Kaia on The Valley, Doute replied: "Of course, she's part of my life now, and this is what we do." But don't worry, little one - your mom won't disrupt your nap time with cameras!
