Kristen Doute took to her Instagram Story after a Reddit blind suggested she and her fiancé, Luke Broderick, had split.
Days after Luke, 35, got the attention of social media and his Valley co-star, Zack Wickham, by sharing a message that appeared to target the COVID-19 vaccine, he and Kristen, 43, were targeted with a rumor that suggested they’d broken up after a “huge falling out.”
“I have unverifiable confirmation Kristen [and] Luke have split [and] will announce soon,” a Reddit user titled a post that seems to have since been deleted, via Bravo Boo on Instagram.
“Unfortunately I can’t share my source but it was confirmed to me they split [and] will announce soon,” the user shared. “Also was mentioned they are living separately [and] had a huge falling out post reunion [and] have been on the outs since … [I] can’t confirm anything until they actually announce, but I feel awful for Kristen, I know she wanted them to work out.”
While Kristen and Luke haven’t addressed the rumor directly, Kristen seemingly offered a response on her Instagram Story as she shared a video of her and Luke at a photo shoot with their one-year-old daughter, Kaia, and their dog, Gibson.
“Great day shooting with [Momé] magazine, can’t wait for everyone to see the interview!” Kristen wrote in the caption of the October 20 clip.
In August, months before Luke came under fire for his anti-vaccine stance, Kristen was accused of going “full MAGA” and donating to a third term for President Donald Trump, 80, which she denied on Threads.
“Talk about f*cking rage bait bullsh*t,” she replied.
Also on Threads, Kristen spoke of her relationship with Luke after a fan pointed out that she had allegedly promised Luke that they would move to Colorado from Los Angeles.
“He took her word for it, she trusted that he would fall in love with LA in that time. We are seeing the fallout in real time,” a fan alleged on Threads.
“We were never moving to Colorado and Luke is from Indiana,” Kristen replied. “Our plan has always been to move before our baby was of school age (this was before we got pregnant with Kaia). We want to be closer to family. Our families live in the midwest, where we are from – that’s why Nashville is ideal and on the table. Luke has a house and acres in Colorado that we love but we were never going to live there permanently.”
The Valley season four is currently in production and expected to premiere on Bravo sometime in early 2027.
