Raise a glass to Kristen Doute’s mom era.
The Valley star and fiancé Luke Brodrick welcomed a baby girl named Kaia Lily on June 11.
“She’s here, and we still can’t believe it. Luke is even hotter as a dad, and I just feel so lucky,” Kristen told Us Weekly June 13. “And even though I haven’t slept or showered in two days, seeing our daughter and finally being able to hold her makes it all worth it. We’re completely overwhelmed with love and so grateful for her—our lives are already changed completely.”
They chose their daughter’s name—Hawaiian for “the sea”—based on their love for the state in which they got engaged.
“We knew we wanted our baby name to have something to do, or revolve around, water,” she told the outlet. “Lillies are my favorite flower. They’re associated with new beginnings, beauty, and also the name Lily indicates a ‘gentle and compassionate nature, suggesting a kind and caring personality.’”
In November, Kristen, who has been open about experiencing a miscarriage in 2023, shared she was pregnant while giving insight into her fertility journey.
“After our pregnancy loss last year,” the 40-year-old explained to People. “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.”
