Pregnant Kristen Doute’s dream of becoming a mother is one step closer to becoming a reality.
The Valley star and her fiancé, Luke Broderick, celebrated their first baby’s impending arrival with an intimate shower hosted by close friend and costar Brittany Cartwright.
“Brittany is the queen of hosting parties and she truly loves it,” Kristen exclusively shared with Us Weekly. “She always thinks of the little things, like having Luke drop off things in advance so that when I come, I can be truly surprised and she can capture that moment. These little things are what make the events she hosts truly special.”
Guests including The Valley costars Nia Sanchez, Jesse Lally, Jasmine Goode and Zack Wickham mingled with Vanderpump Rules alums Ariana Madix and Tom Schwartz on Sunday, April 27.

Together, they all celebrated the happy couple at a weekend event with the theme, “A Little Wildflower Is On the Way.”
“I think Luke is just more calm about everything,” Kristen shared with Us after the event, which was designed by Picnic + Petal. “It’s just a whole new world for us, but I know that when she’s here, we will be really great being parents. I’m not scared, but the hospital hands you a baby and then you go home and you’re on your own.”
Fortunately, Kristen and Luke have the support of many family and friends including Nia, who is expecting her fourth baby with husband Danny Booko.
“We’ve gone through almost this full pregnancy together, so she’s just been there every step of the way since fertility,” Kristen gushed. “We’ve talked about delivery, we’ve talked about postpartum and raising the girls together, so every single step, she’s been there.”
