2 Vanderpump Rules Alums Officially Join The Valley

by

Some former Vanderpump Rules stars are swapping West Hollywood for the San Fernando Valley.

Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz will be joining the cast of The Valley, it was revealed on November 14th at BravoCon 2025.

After appearing as guests on season two of the show produced by Lisa Vanderpump, the pair will now be full-time cast members. They’ll join Brittany Cartwright, Kristen Doute, Luke Broderick, and Zack Wickham. Jax Taylor previously announced he’s leaving the series to prioritize his recovery and well-being.

Lala explained that joining the cast of Vanderpump Rules felt different than when she first joined during season four. Back then, the existing cast was already a tight, well-established group. This time around, she felt like the experienced one, bringing the stability to the show.

The 35-year-old added, “I had a wonderful time, I will say. But it was just different.”

Following the airing of season 11 of Vanderpump Rules last year, Lala shared that she was struggling emotionally. However, after spending some quality time with her children, Ocean, age 4, and Sosa, 13 months, she felt ready to start working on The Valley.

I approached the filming with a new outlook. I shared my thoughts when appropriate, but mostly I just listened and learned.

Lala was worried at first about making a big impact on the third season, but she quickly realized she had nothing to fear. She was confident her scenes would stand out, playfully adding, “I’m just a dramatic person!”

Will she be using her famous line, “You wanna get popped?” from Vanderpump Rules in the next season?

“I was still in my postpartum. I was not popping anything,” Lala quipped, “except for that p—y.”

Lala and Tom definitely turned heads at BravoCon 2025, but plenty of other Bravo stars were there too! Keep reading to find out who else brought the drama to this year’s event.
