Kristen Doute has given birth to her first child – a baby girl – with fiancé Luke Broderick which was shared in a sweet announcement on Friday.

The Valley star, 42 – who first revealed that she was expecting baby number one late last year in November – could be seen gently holding the newborn’s tiny hand in an adorable photo, per Us Weekly.

The image was also shared to the TV personality’s main Instagram page where she unveiled her daughter’s full name.

In the caption, Doute penned to her 1 million followers: ‘Kaia Lily Broderick, we’ve never known a love like this until you.’

And during an interview with the outlet to confirm the big news, Kristen gushed how ‘lucky’ she feels to be a new mom.

‘She’s here and we still can’t believe it. Luke is even hotter as a dad, and I just feel so lucky.’

Doute continued, ‘And even though I haven’t slept or showered in two days, seeing our daughter and finally being able to hold her makes it all worth it.’

The reality star said that both she and Broderick are ‘completely overwhelmed with love and so grateful for her – our lives are already changed completely.’ 

Kristen and Luke welcomed their baby girl to the world earlier this week on Wednesday and discussed the inspiration behind her moniker. 

The name Kaia means ‘sea’ in Hawaiian – and is also the location where the new parents became engaged last year in September. 

‘We knew we wanted our baby name to have something to do, or revolve around, water,’ Doute explained, adding that her daughter’s middle name Lily is in reference to her favorite flower.
