‘She was sitting on the ring’ – Kristen Doute nearly ruined her Hawaii proposal by refusing to shower before fishing trip, forcing fiancé Luke Broderick to improvise in tense, last-minute scramble on The Valley – suong

Kristen Doute nearly derailed her own engagement.The Tuesday, July 1, episode of The Valley showed the reality star, 42, in her Hawaii hotel telling her now-fiancé Luke Broderick, 33, that she doesn’t want to shower before getting on the fishing boat where Broderick would later propose because “I’m going to probably stink like fish or something, and then I’ll shower after.””I’m excited, I’m anxious. The boat is reserved, Danny [Booko] and Nia [Sanchez] are coming, Zack’s handling everything at the resort,” Broderick said during a confessional. “Kristen not wanting to shower was not on my radar.”

“We’re at the finish line, and she’s sitting on the ring,” Broderick said during a confessional.When she finished her makeup, Doute came out to the front of the boat to take pictures of Sanchez and Booko. The couple then took pictures of Doute and Broderick, and to get Doute to turn her back so Broderick could get down on one knee, Booko said he saw dolphins in the water. As he got down on one knee, Broderick told Doute, “Your butt looks so good from this angle.” Doute laughed, and Broderick continued, “Hey baby, we’ve had some awesome adventures.”

Luke Broderick and Kristne Doute’s proposal on ‘The Valley’.Mario Perez/BravoWhen Doute turned around to see Broderick on his knee, she said, “What the f—? Are you being serious right now?”Broderick then asked if Doute would “be the catch of my lifetime.””I love you so much,” he said. “We’ve had such incredible adventures. And so many new experiences. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?”

A shocked Doute asked, “Are you serious? Is this real life?”In a confessional, Doute said Broderick “is very much my rock.””I mean he stands by me, he stands up for me,” she said. “I love that he’s exactly who he is and lets me be exactly who I am. I love how funny he thinks he is, but he’s not. That is my partner in crime. That is my ride or die. This is the easiest yes I’ve ever said. I’m just so happy.”

During the boat trip, Zack Wickham made sure plans were underway for the engagement celebration back at the resort. When they got back, the cast surprised them in their decorated suite, wearing matching T-shirts with a picture of Doute and Broderick on them.”To go above and beyond like this, have all these decorations, and to have all of these shirts printed and to keep it a surprise, it’s really sweet,” Kristen said during a confessional. “I’m really the luckiest girl in the whole world: A trip to Hawaii, a new fiancé and literally the best friends a girl could ever ask for.”When a producer asked if she was happy that she showered, she quickly said, “Yes.””I’ve never been so happy that I took a shower in my life,” she said.The Valley airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
