Can you believe it? Kristen Doute’s baby girl, Kaia Lily, has officially reached her sixth-month milestone.
The Valley cast member marked the occasion with an adorable Instagram post that offered a closer look at her first-time-momma journey. The carousel began with a shot of her infant daughter smiling ear to ear as she donned the cutest animal-print onesie. Kaia was seen lying on a cozy beige blanket adorned with the little toy clouds and a row of plushies that read “6 months.”

There was also a photo of baby Kaia catching some Zs in her carrier, a snap of her Halloween bat costume, and a couple of pictures showing her NFL pride… well, her parents‘ NFL pride, to be exact. One photo featured Kristen and Kaia wearing Detroit Lions shirts, while another captured Kaia and her dad, Luke Broderick, sporting Indianapolis Colts gear.

Kristen and Luke dished on their new chapter during BravoCon 2025, confirming that they had taken Kaia along for the ride.
“It’s amazing. Kaia’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us,” Kristen told Entertainment Tonight. “And I could not leave her [back at home]. She’s only 5 months old.”

Kristen and Luke then gushed over their daughter’s playful personality and suggested she may have inherited their comedy chops.
“She’s so much fun right now,” Kristen said. “She laughs at things; she smiles at everything; she’s just really developing. Every day, her personality is a little bit bigger.”
Luke agreed: “She’s goofy. She makes us laugh. The [comedic] timing is impressive, like, better than me.”
What’s next for Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick’s family?
The Valley couple welcomed their daughter about nine months after getting engaged. They paused their wedding preparations after learning Kristen was pregnant, but resumed their planning at the end of the summer.
Kristen shared a wedding update back in August, revealing she had enlisted a fellow Bravoleb to plan the ceremony.
“I’m always at Brittany [Cartwright’s] house, and we were hanging out at Brittany’s, and our friend Stephen McGee, who is on Summer House Season 1, he immediately just got into,” she recalled to People magazine. “It’s like all of his intuition was into my brain and my emotions. He’s like, ‘What about this place or this many people?’ And all of a sudden I’m going, ‘Stephen, you’re a freaking wedding planner. Will you be my wedding planner?’ I honestly proposed to him, and he said, ‘Yes, I will.’”
