The Valley’s Brittany Cartwright knows something we don’t know!
After announcing her pregnancy on Tuesday, November 26, Kristen Doute took to her Instagram Story to reveal that her Bravo costar has some privileged information about her baby that even the mom-to-be and fiancé Luke Broderick aren’t privy to.
“Guess what… @brittany knows the gender of our baby! (and we don’t),” Doute, 41, shared via her Instagram Story Tuesday. Cartwright, 35, reshared the post via her own Instagram Story and wrote, “I doooooo.”
Earlier Tuesday, Cartwright congratulated the Vanderpump Rules alum on her pregnancy news via her Instagram Story. “Kristen is having a baby!!! I love you @kristendoute and I’m so extremely happy for you!” wrote Cartwright, who shares 3-year-old son Cruz with estranged husband Jax Taylor. “You will make a wonderful mother and I can’t wait to spoil this little baby with so much love!!”
Doute first shared news of her pregnancy with People on Tuesday.
“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,” Doute said. “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).”
Two weeks after the IUI procedure, Doute and Broderick got the good news.
“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. I tested one day early and got the big PREGNANT result staring back at me,” she continued. “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!”
The news comes two months after Us Weekly exclusively confirmed the Valley stars’ engagement. Broderick, 33, proposed to Doute on a boat in Maui, Hawaii, in September after two years of dating. “It was a total surprise,” she told Us at the time.
“I knew from the moment we met that Luke was my person,” Doute added. “I am so excited to continue this journey together, now as fiancés.”
