In view of the delight of becoming a new mom, Kristen Doute could not let the moment pass by without paying a genuine tribute to her partner Luke Broderick for his first Father’s Day. The former Vanderpump Rules star posted a very lovely childhood picture on Instagram of the couple in an outdoor setting=married, calm, and picturesque, with Luke holding her tummy affectionately. One could never have wished for such a warm picture to portray the excitement of the occasion.

Happy first Father’s Day to my teammate & lover for life. Kaia and I are so lucky to have you.” The mention of Kaia’s name set off fans because it was the first time Luke and Kristen openly disclosed their daughter’s name to the public.
Something changed Luke into reciprocating. “Love you honey! My girls are my everything,” said Luke, triggering almost a hundred comments from their followers. One long-time fan said, “From somebody who has been in your corner since day one on VPR, I could not be any more happy for you.” She jokingly continued, “I want some baby pics now. I’m in DEARBORN MI as I write this, so that makes me feel entitled.”
Meanwhile, more fans proclaimed, “He’s a good one, Doute. So happy for you.” Another one joked, “Are you guys gonna hide her face always like Lindsay be doing?” This light jab referred to Lindsay Lohan‘s very private approach concerning her child, and stirred further speculation about whether Kristen and Luke plan to go down the same road.”
And the praise only continued to be thrown at her. Fans of the show remembered her most trying times on Vanderpump; one fan shared, “I’ve shouted at the tv for years watching your drama, but I don’t think there’s one celebrity that I’ve genuinely felt so elated for when you announced your pregnancy.” Another sharing, “The queen has her happy ending and I’m here for it” pretty much summed up the sentiment of the long-time fans who had been rooting for Kristen to find happiness.
Interestingly, one well-wisher even noticed the timing of the event and added, “She was born just in time for Father’s Day,” while another one was hit in the feels after hearing Kaia being called a “rainbow baby,” a term often used for babies born after a miscarriage or stillbirth.
The road to motherhood has been a long one for Kristen, and the fans have been following every update. From dramatic exits on reality TV to settling down with Luke—these make the new chapter look like full circle. And judging by the comment thread, the public is probably more invested in her happiness than ever.
Whether or not baby Kaia will be going viral on Mommy-and-Daddy-duo Kristen and Luke’s socials remains unknown but for sure: Kristen and Luke are soaking in all that love, and the followers are with them on every step of the journey.
