'Vanderpump Rules' Kristen Doute Break ups with Alex Menache, Alleges Ex Carter Rumors
Kristen Doute and Alex Menache split up months after moving in together. Hear what the Vanderpump Rules alum had to say about the breakup and speculations that she is back with ex Brian Carter.
Another Vanderpump Rules star is suddenly single, so there must be something in the water at SUR.
Kristen Doute declared her split from Alex Menache, her two-year boyfriend, on June 22. She used Instagram Stories to post a heartfelt message about leaving the home she and Alex had lived for only six months, writing, "Moving day is stressful. It's even more difficult to leave behind memories. I'm sending tons of love to anyone who is having a day like this."
Kristen commented in another Story, "bye, beautiful home." "We have so many amazing memories... my current emotion is thankfulness, as weighty as it is."
The Bravo alum also addressed various comments about a prospective separation. One person commented on her most recent post that Kristen and Alex were no longer following each other on Instagram, to which she answered, "every new beginning comes from the end of some old beginning."
Kristen was less vague elsewhere. On a Vanderpump Rules fan page, one member expressed optimism that Alex would be cast ""the one" for Kristen, to which she replied, "same, but it didn't work out." Alex is a lovely individual whom I admire and admire."
It didn't take long after Kristen's social media antics for fans to speculate that she had reunited with her ex-boyfriend Brian Carter—who went by Carter on Vanderpump Rules—especially since she recently implied they're on good terms by publicly wishing him a happy birthday.
Kristen tweeted a cute photo of Carter with her dog with the comment, "Happy birthday Carts!" just a week before moving out.
Kristen, on the other hand, has refuted the reports of a reunion. In response to a prediction that she'd ""Return to Carter," Kristen wrote, adding, "Carter and I are friends." Nothing else. Period. Everyone should cease speculating."
Kristen and Carter dated for three years before splitting in 2019. She made her relationship with Alex public in March 2020, although he was never featured on Vanderpump Rules because Kristen was sacked that same year.
