Where Are the Vanderpump Rules OGs Now? From Scandals to New Beginnings

The original stars of Bravo’s hit reality show have scattered far from the SUR restaurant floor. It has been over a decade since “Vanderpump Rules” first premiered. Today, their careers and lives look vastly different. Only a few remained until the recent series reboot.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the original six cast members have embarked on diverse paths. Some are still on reality TV, while others focus on new business and family life. Their journeys reflect major shifts in the Bravo landscape and their personal growth.

The Post-Vanderpump Career Paths of the Original Six

Kristen Doute found a new Bravo home on the spinoff “The Valley.” She was fired from the original show in 2020 but returned to television in 2024. Doute also welcomed a daughter in 2025 and co-hosts a podcast.

Katie Maloney stayed on “Vanderpump Rules” until the season 12 reboot. She launched a sandwich shop, Something About Her, with co-star Ariana Madix. Maloney now hosts her own podcast and is in a new relationship.

Tom Sandoval was central to the show’s biggest scandal, “Scandoval.” He remained on the series until its recent reboot. Sandoval now appears on various competitive reality shows like “The Traitors” and “House of Villains.”

Life Beyond the Show: Family, Podcasts, and New Ventures

Stassi Schroeder rebuilt her career after being fired in 2020. She now has a development deal with Hulu and hosts a successful podcast. Schroeder is married with two children and recently hosted a reunion for another Hulu series.

Scheana Shay was a mainstay from season one through season 11. She hosts the “Scheananigans” podcast and published a memoir in 2025. Shay is married to Brock Davies and they share a young daughter together.

Jax Taylor returned to TV on “The Valley” but left before season three. He cited a focus on sobriety and co-parenting as his reason for stepping away. Taylor hosts a podcast and is navigating a separation from his wife, Brittany Cartwright.

The original Vanderpump Rules cast has evolved far beyond their server roles. Their current endeavors in podcasting, business, and new reality shows prove their lasting influence. The legacy of the OGs continues to shape the reality TV world.
