Who Is Vanderpump Rules' Kristen Doute's New Boyfriend?

Us Weekly has confirmed that Kristen's boyfriend is Alex Menache. The couple have been seeing each other since at least January, although they appear to have known each other for much longer. In March 2018, fellow Vanderpump Rules star Katie Maloney-Schwartz posted a group photo on Instagram that included both Kristen and Alex.

Kristen's new boyfriend seems to keep a low profile. His Instagram account is currently private, but Life & Style reported that his feed shows several pictures of houses that he has flipped. He also seems to be tight with the Vanderpump Rules cast and is followed by both Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney-Schwartz.

Things seem to be heating up quickly between Kristen and Alex, who is reportedly looking for something serious. "He wants to get married and have kids soon," a source told Us Weekly. "He's from the Valley and he owns a lot of apartment buildings in the L.A. area. He's not the L.A. type who is friends with lots of celebs though. He has been looking for a wife."
