‘Vanderpump Rules’ alum Kristen Doute confirms long-distance relationship with podcast co-host Luke Broderick
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Just six months after Kristen Doute and Alex Menache called it quits, the star has taken herself back off the market. 'Vanderpump Rules' alum Kristen Doute has officially confirmed she's in a relationship with her 'Sex, Love, and What Else Matters' podcast co-host Luke Broderick.
Kristen Doute opened up about her new boyfriend, Luke Broderick, on Lala Kent's podcast 'Give Them Lala,' last week. On Tuesday, she posted images of their initial meeting on her Instagram page. Following the release of her new podcast, 'Sex, Love, and What Else Matters,' the 'Vanderpump Rules' actress shared photos of herself and Luke at a wedding in Colorado, where they hit it off and "had sex behind a tent." "[She] ain’t afraid to take chances and wears her heart on her sleeve," Kristen wrote in the caption of the slideshow of images from the December 20 event, in which she was a bridesmaid, and he was a groomsman.

Who is Luke Broderick?
As per his Facebook profile, Luke Broderick was born in Martinsville, Indiana, but now calls Colorado Springs home. Luke, 31, works as an associate broker at Brown County Real Estate. He used to be an angler at Bonefish Grill and a server at Oliver Garden. He majored in accounting at Ball State University. Despite Kristen's animal rights activism, Luke enjoys hunting and fishing. Aside from their different personalities, the pair is now doing long distances because Luke lives in Colorado and Kristen lives in California.
Kristen reflected on her first encounter with Luke on Lala's podcast last week as she opened up about her tragic separation from Alex Menache, with whom she hoped to marry and have children. "Luke's great. Luke, you know, it just sort of fell into my lap after my last breakup. We became friends at my girlfriend’s wedding. We walked down the aisle together as bridesmaids/groomsmen," she recounted. "I made Luke, essentially, like my handler for the weekend. I'm like, 'You're groomsman, and you are going to just make sure that I have my s**t together because I kind of don't right now.'" After days and days of hours-long phone conversations and visits, Kristen said that she and Luke hadn't yet given their romance a name.
"It’s my choice, but we’re dating. He knows I’m not seeing anyone else, and I’m not going on dates with anyone else… [And] he’s fine with the fact that I haven’t been quite ready to say, 'I'm checking the box, you are my boyfriend,'" she stated.
Kristen's post was welcomed with comments from admirers, one of which looked to be directed at Alex. "You'll make cuter babies with this one," says the message. "[I] couldn’t agree more," Kristen said.
When someone commented that Kristen looked "very happy" and pointed to her and Luke's wedding hookup, they asked, "was this before or after the behind-the-tent expedition," and Kristen confirmed it was "a few hours earlier."
