Kristen Doute won't be alone under the mistletoe this holiday season.
After splitting from her boyfriend of two years, Alex Menache, in June, the Vanderpump Rules alum revealed she's dating her Sex, Love, and What Else Matters podcast co-host Luke Broderick on the podcast's Dec. 21 episode.
"Luke and I are f--king dating, you guys," she announced. "And all of my friends who have listened to our podcast were like, 'Yeah, it sounds really obvious.'"
But according to the former Bravo star—who was let go from VPR in June 2020 with co-star Stassi Schroeder—her relationship with Luke is not something she intended to start.
"I battled with being your person," she explained. "I love you so much, but just the thought of being someone's girlfriend again just kind of threw me through a loop because I want to be a wife and I want to be a mother."
Kristen continued, "I was so tired of being a girlfriend for a couple of years and then having s--t fall apart, to be honest."
Before her most recent ex, Kristen also dated VPR's Tom Sandoval and James Kennedy, as well as ex Brian Carter.
Kristen also pointed out that she and Luke share several differences, making them a true opposites-attract couple. Not only do they have an eight-year age gap and live in separate states—39-year-old Kristen resides in California while 31-year-old Luke is from Colorado—but Luke is an avid hunter.
"Luke loves to hunt and fish. I am an animal advocate," Kristen stated. "I've been a vegetarian since I was 11 years old, and that truly was the one thing that was a little difficult for me in the beginning."
And it was because of that she recommended her new BF make a separate Instagram account for his hunting pictures. As she explained, "I just didn't want Luke to have to subscribe to the scrutiny that I, essentially, I guess, chose to deal with being on reality TV."
All differences aside, Kristen said once she "stopped clawing my way out of my last relationship, I found you."
