Kristen doesn’t love the entire Vanderpump Rules cast, she admitted.
“I love most of them,” Kristen said. “I agree with Brittany … I’m not as close to everybody as I used to be, but that’s OK because lives are changing.”

“Katie lives down the hall from me,” Kristen added. “We’re not super close, but we’re — like, I still care about her deeply.
Is Kristen Doute still living with Luke Broderick?
Kristen's boyfriend, Luke Broderick, is currently splitting time between California and Colorado.
“He has a 70-acre ranch there, so he technically resides in Colorado, but he’s mostly here,” Kristen said. “We’re kinda figuring that our temporarily and then aware that we need to sort of figure out and have that major talk where we set our roots and where are we gonna be.”
Kristen thinks they’ll find a happy medium.
“We’ve already bought a lot together in Indiana,” Kristen said, noting they initially had plans to flip the property. “It’s in his Dad’s neighborhood, so we’re like maybe we’ll knock some trees down and build.”
The couple’s desire to have a baby is brought up on the new show with Kristen being open about her journey.
“As far as fertility, I mean we’re back on the train working on it, so fingers crossed that we get good news some time soon,” Kristen said.
Brittany and Kristen return to Bravo on The Valley Tuesdays at 9/8c.
