Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix Reveals Her Must-Haves for New Cast

As I delve into the intricate lives of these vibrant individuals from the Bravo universe, it’s quite evident that their journeys are as captivating as any riveting novel or dramatic film. From love and loss to triumphs and tribulations, each one of them has navigated the complexities of life with grace, resilience, and a dash of drama that keeps us all hooked!

A new era is dawning on SUR restaurant.

Since the cameras start rolling for season 12 of the cherished Bravo show, “Vanderpump Rules“, it will feature an entirely fresh cast. As a former cast member herself, Ariana Madix has some insights on what the network should be seeking in these new reality television personalities.

After all, it’s about a lot more than pasta.

At The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment event on December 4th, she expressed her viewpoint to Keltie Knight of TopMob News: “They should seek individuals who are authentic and unabashedly so. Not folks striving to become the next reality star or internet sensation through a viral GIF or meme. Instead, they should find those who simply embrace being themselves.

In my expert opinion, I truly hope that they manage to locate what they’re searching for. (For more insights from Ariana and the event’s other attendees, don’t forget to catch TopMob News tonight, December 4th, airing at 11 p.m.)

For the 39-year-old, who has been a frequent guest during the initial episodes and a permanent cast member since season three, she hasn’t ruled out making an appearance in the upcoming stages of the show.

She plans to use their shared sandwich shop as a captivating backdrop for filming, which she and her costar Katie Maloney jointly own.

If they’re eager for a disagreement while sharing a sandwich,” Ariana playfully hinted, “Something About Her is just a couple of houses away.

If the opportunity for a romantic comedy role presented itself, she quickly replied with a resounding “Yes, definitely!

Ariana’s thoughts about Vanderpump Rules’ future emerged following the announcement that the long-running Bravo series was starting anew, letting go of key cast members such as Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, Tom Schwartz, and James Kennedy.

Although restaurateur and staff employer Lisa Vanderpump will remain part of the show, the network is actively seeking a “new set of tightly-knit SUR regulars who are as intricately intertwined as their legendary predecessors.

After wrapping up her run on “Vanderpump Rules”, Ariana, who left the show following a dramatic exit after learning that her longtime partner Tom Sandoval had been involved with their co-star Raquel Leviss, embraces an uncertain future without fear.

Ultimately, following the aftermath of Scandoval, she was unexpectedly flooded with various business partnership offers. To top it off, she landed the position as host for Love Island USA and also had a run on Broadway’s production of Chicago.

Ariana humorously noted, “I’m embarking on a new phase for the first time on this planet and in this particular role. However, I’ve got an incredible group of individuals who’ve been by my side for decades, and I have absolute faith in their abilities.

She expressed, “In ten years, I envision myself not being the main focus, but still playing a role in everything. I’m contemplating about that perspective.

If a romantic comedy role presented itself as an option, her response was a casual, “Definitely!

Ariana’s musings about the future of Vanderpump Rules surfaced following the announcement that the venerable Bravo series was starting anew, parting ways with prominent cast members such as Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, Tom Schwartz, and James Kennedy.

Although Lisa Vanderpump, the restaurant owner and staff manager, will remain part of the show, the network is seeking a “fresh set of tightly-knit SUR regulars who are just as entangled in each other’s lives as their legendary forerunners.

After catching up on the latest news, Ariana posted a heartfelt message across her social media platforms, thanking her time on the popular show by saying, “Vanderpump Rules, you’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

To see where some of your favorite Vanderpump alums are today, keep reading.

Back in 2013 when Vanderpump Rules made its grand debut, I was hooked from the get-go! The first season had me glued to my screen, mostly because of all the drama swirling around Jax’s indiscretion with Stassi in Sin City. And boy, did things escalate when he got tangled up with fellow cast member Kristen Doute in season two. Needless to say, that was the end of the road for them, and I couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness for their broken relationship.

In the year 2017, a graduate from VPR started dating a casting executive. At the time, she was still working on the show. She was let go from the series in 2020, and Stassi and Beau got married legally later that same year, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Their daughter, Hartford, arrived in January 2021.

In May 2022, the couple had a formal wedding in Italy, and they were blessed with their second child, a son named Messer, in the year 2023.

2015 saw me crossing paths with the charismatic Jax, post his split from Stassi. After weathering a storm caused by some unfounded cheating allegations against him and our mutual castmate Faith Stowers, we found ourselves tying the knot at a regal castle in Brittany’s beloved Kentucky homeland in 2019. Our enchanting wedding special graced the screens on Bravo not long after.

In April 2021, Jax and Brittany became parents for the first time, welcoming their son named Cruz, about a year since they departed the show.

Regrettably, it was revealed in February 2024 that they had parted ways, with Brittany leaving their shared home. In August of the same year, she formally submitted divorce papers.

After Kristen Doute’s breakup with him, Tom started dating Ariana in 2013 when she joined the show during filming season three. For nine years, they have been one of the most reliable couples on “VPR,” purchasing a house, adopting dogs, and even writing a cocktail book together.

In a twist that left many stunned, I found myself entangled in a seven-month romantic escapade with a fellow cast member, which unfolded publicly in March 2023. This unexpected turn of events ultimately led to my separation from Ariana. Despite the stability we had built together, the whirlwind of emotions and circumstances that ensued brought about an unforeseen change in our relationship.

After the cheating incident, Tom attributes their growing distance to a lack of emotional connection as one factor. Additionally, he stated that they had already parted ways when the infidelity became public knowledge. However, it was disclosed that Tom and Raquel shared their first kiss in August 2022, before Ariana became aware of the situation.

Approximately a month following Ariana’s split from Tom due to his infidelity with Raquel, the television personality found new love in fitness trainer Daniel Wai. In April 2023, they were seen sharing affectionate moments and getting close during the first weekend of Coachella.

They are still going strong over one year later.

In 2017, I parted ways with my former spouse, Mike Shay. Fast forward two years, I found myself smitten in San Diego with a man named Brock, an encounter that unfolded among friends. Love at first sight, they say, and it was certainly true for us. Our little miracle, Summer Moon Honey, joined our family in April 2021, and before long, we exchanged vows.

During the tenth season of “Vanderpump Rules,” viewers witnessed Scheana and Brock’s August 2022 wedding in Cancún, but it was only on the show’s April 2023 episode that she disclosed they had secretly tied the knot (legally) a year before their destination ceremony.

In August 2016, a couple who had been dating for six years finally tied the knot. However, their relationship, which was often turbulent and portrayed on Bravo, lasted for twelve years in total. After enduring years of disagreements and conflicts, Katie reached her limit. Eventually, she decided to file for divorce from TomTom’s co-owner in March 2022.

Originally maintaining a friendly dynamic after their split, Tom’s kiss with Raquel in August 2022 destroyed any hopes of continued amicability between them. During season 10 of VPR, Katie began seeing a new romantic interest, the 26-year-old actor Satchel Clendenin. However, they are no longer together now.

Tom is also currently single.

For a period of five years, James and Raquel were romantically involved and even became engaged. However, they eventually parted ways in November 2021. At a later point, the former beauty queen attributed some of their separation to James’ anger problems.

In the ninth season reunion of VPR (Vanderpump Rules), broadcasted in January 2022, it was disclosed that James and Raquel hadn’t shared many intimate moments during the two years prior to their split.

James briefly date Kristen after joining the show during season 3, but the two broke up in 2015.

In just two months following his breakup with Raquel, James was seen with Ally Lewber in January 2022. They attended their first official red carpet event together the following month.

On the opening episode of season 10, Ally first appeared on “Vanderpump Rules”. Despite some worries about his drinking, her relationship with James is holding up well.

In October 2021, the actress and film producer who is known for Bravo ended their three-year relationship. Before they separated, they had a daughter named Ocean in March 2021. Later on, Lala attributed part of their split to Randall’s alleged infidelity, although he has denied having extramarital relationships.

In the tenth season of VPR, Lala admitted that she hadn’t engaged in any sexual activity following their separation. However, she re-entered the dating world by getting intimate with a man during a girl’s vacation at Lake Havasu.

Lala is currently still single and mingling, as is Randall.

After Sandoval’s brief relationship with Jax, Kristen had an on-again, off-again romance with Brian Carter on the Bravo series. Later, she was in a relationship with Alex Menache for two years until they parted ways in June 2022.

Kristen quickly found love again during the same month; she encountered Luke Broderick when they both served as bridesmaid and groomsman in a mutual friend’s wedding that summer. Since then, they have been inseparable. Besides their romantic relationship, he often co-hosts her podcast titled “Love, Sex, and Other Important Topics” with her.

The pair announced their engagement in September 2024.

In March of 2023, Kristina, a recurring character on the show since season two, became a mother to her first child, a boy named River, with her partner Max Ville. They’ve been in a relationship for more than a dozen years.

After a long while, Schwartz found himself in a genuine, long-term connection, as he began dating Sophia Skoro, who is only 23 years old.

In March 2024, he openly declared his affection, stating, “She is one of the most extraordinary individuals I’ve ever met. The epitome of strength. She possesses an unusual wit and a unique sense of humor. She’s incredibly intelligent, highly accomplished, and successful.

Two years following her divorce from Tom Schwartz, Maloney disclosed that she is smitten and deeply involved with her enigmatic new partner.

On her “Disrespectfully” podcast in October 2024, she expressed that he makes her feel extremely unique and indeed, he is extraordinary. She added that she’s incredibly joyful about the situation.
