Reality star Kristen Doute is now a proud mom! Kristen and her fiancé, Luke Broderick, have welcomed their first child together — a beautiful baby girl named Kaia Lily Broderick.
The baby was born on June 11, and Kristen shared the joyful news in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly. She also posted a sweet message on Instagram:

“We’ve never known a love like this until you.”
Kristen explained that the name Kaia was chosen because it means “the sea” in Hawaiian. The couple loves Hawaii and even got engaged there in Maui in September 2024.
“We knew we wanted our baby’s name to have something to do with water,” Kristen said.
Her middle name, Lily, was inspired by Kristen’s favorite flower. Lilies represent beauty, new beginnings, and a gentle, kind personality — all things Kristen wishes for her daughter.
A Special Journey to Parenthood
Kristen and Luke’s path to becoming parents was full of ups and downs. They started dating in 2022 after meeting at a friend’s wedding. In 2023, Kristen experienced a miscarriage, which was a heartbreaking moment for the couple.
In early 2024, they decided to try again and began their fertility journey. Kristen underwent IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) — a process that involves placing sperm directly into the uterus to help with conception.

To their joy, the IUI worked on the first try! Kristen shared that when she took a pregnancy test, the result came back as “PREGNANT,” and both she and Luke were overjoyed.
“He was joyful and beyond excited,” Kristen said. “We’re so grateful.”
