Kristen Doute's Fiancé Luke Broderick Talks Valley Co-Stars He Wants to "Cut Out"

I mean, I don't know what other setting I'd be able to, I'd have a drone flying around this boat with me on one knee, you know, as the sun's setting in Hawaii

There's this, the way it all came together, there's no better way to capture a moment like that

I know you were like thrown into things last season, into this reality TV landscape

What's season two been like for you? The biggest difference for me is I have real relationships established with pretty much everyone in the group now

so before I'm meeting people I'm adjusting to this Holly weird business I don't understand

now I kind of have a an understanding of what's going on and I care about these people more than

I did so it's been you know a lot different so I think with the first season the first summer I was

just nervous didn't know much at all what I was getting into how it was this is not the kind of

TV that I would watch you know when I watch TV I'm watching sports yeah you know that's kind of

the kind of guy i am and this year having yeah a season under my belt i knew what to expect and

went into with the mindset i'm gonna have fun yeah like no one's gonna stop me from having fun

one way or another and it went well i had fun i had a blast honestly don't know if anyone had

more fun than i did last summer i feel like in these first two episodes alone um a lot's happening

and there's two huge divorces happening right within this friend group what is that like again

And I know this is real life for you guys. Like, yes, there are cameras around and it's entertainment for us

But how has that just been navigating in this group these two huge life events happening

Well, three. Kristen and I. Hello. Come on in. We're having four kids

The most positive one. Exactly. Let's focus on that. Yes. Okay. I was bearing the lead here

They can have all the dark drama they want. Yeah. I don't know. I love having the big things going on in my life with Kristen because it makes it easier to block that out There so much dark just negative space There so much hate between these couples as they split And you know I I don know find a way to have fun and focus on the positive things

We've, of course, known Kristen for years and now we've gotten to know you. And it is exciting for these like moments to happen as you start a family

as you get engaged in all these things. And I know that it's already in the trailer, the proposal, which you're so excited to see

But talk to me a little bit about that, too. like what where your mind was at before that oh man you know it was uh a lot of nerves you know

going into it and doing it making it a surprise is not easy not easy to pull that off with Kristen

I'm I'm actually also anxious to see um I don't remember all the things I alluded to like I feel

like I almost blew it a number of times and somehow she didn't pick up on you know the clues

so it ends up being a genuine surprise and i just feel light as a feather after yeah after it happens

oh my god i can't wait to watch it because already just the sneak preview that they gave of us looks so cute and i think that with i say this i feel like with all you bravo people that it must be

nice so you kind of have like a scrapbook of it like you're always going to have that right shot

really well it's not an iphone camera that got that you know what i mean it's going to be something

that you're going to have to look back on forever i mean i don't know what other setting i'd be able

that I'd have a drone flying around this boat with me on one knee, you know, as the sun's setting in Hawaii

There's this, the way it all came together, there's no better way to capture a moment like that

Let's talk Kristen. I know that at the start of this season, it seems like kind of tough, especially with her and Janet for sure

How have you been able to maybe support her through that and all that? And do you think that overall, how did the season go for her

I think overall, the season went great for her. I mean if anything I am more the person in her ear that we don need more friends We need less friends As we move forward as we bring more people into the world we need to have a tight group that we can really count on And when people show that we can count on them or they bringing in negativity you know just things we don want

in our lives, we can cut them out. And it's not necessarily out of hatred, it's out of self

preservation. You know, we want to keep our peaceful bubble together. Yeah. And what are

some things too do you think relationship wise um that have maybe shifted in this time i know that

like pregnancy brings so much relationships but like what are some things that maybe you guys have learned about each other or maybe some things that you didn't expect in terms of this you know nine

month yeah journey so kristen's very independent person and i think this pregnancy has um i guess

led to her leaning on me more which is something i've actually been trying to get her to do and now

it's like with her leaning on me comes with the no appreciation of the calm I bring to the

relationship and you know I don't know if we've ever been in a better place in our relationship

so it's all been very positive and how has it been to navigating again it is tough when you're

in a friend group how has it been for you and Krista to navigate that as well because there are again a lot of changes happening in the personal lives of this group yeah you can't be

there for everybody I'll say that like you just can't so you have to pick you know it's kind of

where friendships grow stronger or weaker because when there are two sides and it's so polarized you

kind of have to pick one you have to pick your team and have their back I guess unless they throw

you under the bus then you can jump ship and switch teams but that's how it goes we have some

of our Vanipump Rules alum like we have like Sheen, Alala, Tom, Brock joining in how is that as well

I know again it's kind of nice sometimes I feel like when I talk to people they already have you

know their ideas of these people but again you're a bit newer to this experience and are getting to

meet them or experience them like this for the first time yeah i say you know tom shorts he the guy from Vanderpump that I see the most and the person I connect the most with I love Tom

And I thought that has felt very natural. There were some others that didn't feel as natural

for Kristen and me, but, you know, ultimately they are around. They're adjacent, you know, friends of

So it's, I don't know. I don't know really how to put it as far as the uh the vanderpump people kind of working back into it yeah and again as we said

you guys have your own stuff going on like there's plenty right there's plenty happening and um yeah

let's talk about this baby shower also i mean once the pictures dropped i feel like it felt like it

broke the internet at least in the bravo universe it looked like such a great event and talk to me

about that too kind of being able to celebrate in this way and you mentioned that that britney

threw it so talk to me a little bit about that experience okay so britney is the queen of parties

Like she could run a business and make a million dollars as a party consultant because she knows the people to call

She knows how to pull a party together with a theme and with every detail, you know, checked off the list

So she put together this party that Kristen kind of gave her some input to

I didn't have that much input in it. I was more just the errand boy, you know, get this, get that, bring it over there, go get the ice

But it was just it was incredible to have so many people there

and it'd also be just such a chill, happy party. There was actually no drama

Yeah, no drama, no one drunk. It was great. And then I know too, it seemed like most of you guys were there

but it didn't seem like maybe Janet or Michelle were there. I know you probably can't say too much about where the season goes

but do you feel like that maybe hints towards maybe where Kristen is at

with them right now, where you guys are? I mean, hints are, you know, spells it out

Yeah, that's about as far as I'm going to go with that
