Doute & Broderick Put Wedding Plans on Hold After Learning of Her Pregnancy
Broderick popped the question back in September 2024, but the couple soon put wedding plans on hold after Doute announced she was expecting just two months later. Now that they’ve welcomed their daughter, fans are hoping that wedding bells could be in the near future.
In August, while speaking to People, Doute shared that they had “just started talking about the wedding. It has been on a back burner for a really long time.”
Doute didn’t give too much information on what her wedding day may look like, but she did reveal that she asked former “Summer House” star Stephen McGee to help with wedding planning.
“I’m always at Brittany [Cartwright]’s house and we were hanging out at Brittany’s and our friend, Stephen McGee, who is on Summer House season 1, he immediately just got into… It’s like all of his intuition was into my brain and my emotions,” she shared.
Doute continued, “He’s like, what about this place or this many people? And all of a sudden I’m going, ‘Stephen, you’re a freaking wedding planner. Will you be my wedding planner?'”
As filming for “The Valley” season 3 kicked off in September, per Cosmopolitan, fans may soon see more of Kaia Lily, and possibly the next chapter as the couple begins planning their magical wedding.
