Moving on! Following her split from boyfriend James Kennedy, Kristen Doute is coupling up with a new man. Us Weekly can exclusively reveal that the Vanderpump Rules star is dating a guy named Brian Carter — and from the looks of these photos, they’re having a great time together.
Doute and her new beau — who goes by just Carter — met through the dating app Bumble after she and Kennedy parted ways a few months ago. Earlier this week, they took their romance into the wild, hitting up San Diego Zoo Safari Park with friends.
Joined by Doute’s Vanderpump Rules costar Scheana Marie and her husband, Mike Shay — among others — the new lovebirds got up close and personal with a couple of giraffes.
Doute tweeted about the adventure on Wednesday, Sept. 2, sharing a photo of herself with a couple of girlfriends. “The best day of my life,” she captioned the pic, adding the hashtags #GIRAFFES and #pumprules.

She later added: “Fleetwood Mac in our limo after a day feeding giraffes. Please say this is how it will also end.”
Doute and Kennedy broke up while filming Season 4 of their hit Bravo series. Her rep had no comment on her new romance with Carter.
