‘Vanderpump Rules' Stars Who Left the Series: Where Are They Now?

Several Vanderpump Rules stars have stepped away from the Bravo series over the years. Cameras started following the staff at Lisa Vanderpump’s West Hollywood restaurant SUR in 2012 after she rose to fame on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Season 1 of Pump Rules, which premiered in January 2013, starred Lisa, Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor, Kristen Doute, Tom Sandoval, Kristen Doute and Scheana Shay.  In 2020, the reality series underwent a major cast shakeup after it was confirmed that Stassi, Kristen, Jax, Brittany Cartwright, Max Boyens, Brett Caprioni, Danica Dow and Dayna Kathan wouldn’t be back for season 9. Three years later, Raquel Leviss confirmed that she wouldn't be returning to the show after Pump Rules' biggest scandal yet — her affair with Sandoval while he was still in a relationship with Ariana Madix. Keep scrolling to see what all the stars who've left Vanderpump Rules behind are doing now:

After the duo announced their departure in late 2020, Brittany implied that it wasn’t then-couple’s choice to leave Vanderpump Rules. (Many fans called for Jax to be let go amid the backlash for Stassi and Kristen’s exits.)

“Do you guys really truly think we got to write whatever we wanted?” Brittany commented via Instagram after fans called out her and Jax’s similar goodbye statements.

The pair welcomed son Cruz in April 2021 and celebrated two years of marriage that June. In March 2023, the duo launched their podcast, "When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany." One year later, they joined the Vanderpump Rules spinoff The Valley. 

While the duo has been working together since their Pump Rules exit, Brittany hinted in February 2024 that their marriage was having issues. She announced during a “When Reality Hits” podcast episode that she and Jax are “taking some time apart” and revealed she’d moved out of their family home for her “mental health.”

She added: “I don’t know what the future holds but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz. I love you guys and pray for us. Everything will be just fine.”

In August 2024, Brittany officially filed for divorce from Jax after five years of marriage, which was shown on season 2 of The Valley. Us Weekly broke the news in July 2025 that Jax would be stepping back from The Valley ahead of the show’s third season.

After she was fired when her past racially insensitive remarks resurfaced, Stassi, who was pregnant at the time, lost several endorsement deals and her podcast, “Straight Up With Stassi.” Her personal life, however, thrived and she married Beau in a backyard bash in September 2020. Stassi gave birth to the pair's first child, daughter Hartford, in January 2021. The couple launched their Patreon channel, "The Good The Bad The Baby," that March and "Straight Up With Stassi" returned in 2022.

The duo exchanged vows for a second time in Rome in May 2022 with Hartford serving as their flower girl. The following year, Schroeder announced in March 2023 that she is pregnant with her second child. She welcomed son Messer the following September. 

Along with Stassi, Bravo cut ties with Kristen after their comments about Faith resurfaced in 2020. Kristen confirmed in December 2022 she is dating “Sex, Love and What Else Matters” podcast cohost, Luke Broderick. They got engaged in September 2024.

Kristen made a cameo in the season 10 finale of Pump Rules, which aired in May 2023. During her appearance, she comforted Ariana in the aftermath of Sandoval's affair with Raquel. In 2024, she joined the cast of The Valley. 

The former SURver gave birth to her first child, son Rome, in November 2022.

“Complete bliss,” Dani, who married beau Nassim Joseph in May 2020, wrote via Instagram.

Kent celebrated the little one’s arrival, writing via Instagram Stories: “My soul sister has become a mama. The process was different than what was planned but in those moments, the game plan becomes simple — keep the mama and baby healthy and safe. Welcome to the world, Rome. Danielle, I am so proud of you. I am so happy for you. What a beautiful life and family you have created. You deserve it all.”

Following one season as a full-time cast member on the show, the comedian announced in April 2021 that she wasn’t returning for season 9. "It was a tough decision for me but ultimately the right one," she said in a statement at the time. "I'm grateful for the experience and wish everyone on the show all the best!" According to LinkedIn​​​​, Dayna became the director of sales at Medication Review, Inc.

Us confirmed in May 2021 that Max resigned from his job at TomTom nearly one year after he was fired for his past offensive tweets. According to his LinkedIn, Max is now a Guest Experience Manager at Mosaic Hospitality Management.

The former Bravo star now runs a fitness and lifestyle YouTube channel.

The SUR assistant and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Brett Willis, who was also briefly featured on the show, called it quits in August 2020. After she was granted a temporary restraining order against him, Brett released a statement to E! News: "I want to handle this amicably. We got in an argument at a house party. We're around a lot of her girlfriends and I'm sure it looked like I was the bad guy. It was nothing physical, but it was an aggressive argument on both sides. For me, I want her to retract everything. We work at the same establishment and I want us to be able to work and keep it professional and amicable. Our relationship was toxic and it's not there anymore. I still love her, but I also have to look out for myself."

In response, Danica told the outlet: "Brett's version of these events are a complete lie. Brett kept trying to follow me around the party into different rooms and harass me."

Laura-Leigh, who infamously left SUR after booking a Jennifer Aniston movie (We’re the Millers) and getting dumped by Jax post-AA, has continued to act. After a stint on The Client List and multiple short films, Laura-Leigh guest-starred on a season 10 episode of Blue Bloods. 

After brief romances with Peter Madrigal and Jax, the SUR hostess quit the restaurant and returned to her acting roots in a series of independent films. While her personal life hit a rough patch in 2019 when she filed a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend Hayes Stuppy, Vail also became a mother. While the soap opera vet has yet to publicly reveal the father of her kids, she welcomed daughter Charlie Olivia Grace Bloom in 2018 and a son in 2020.

After her time on reality TV, Vail returned to the Young and the Restless. In September 2024, Vail’s character was murdered on Y&R, which she first  appeared on in 2007. There has not been any confirmation if she is exiting the soap opera.

Faith didn’t just storm out of the club after Brittany learned that Jax cheated on her with the SURver, she also left the network for MTV. In addition to appearing on Ex on the Beach and The Challenge, Faith added mother to her résumé in February 2020 when she welcomed a son with boyfriend Marcio Marchena II.

Faith made headlines in June 2020 when she spoke out about being the only person of color to have a prominent role on Vanderpump Rules. 

“It was a lot,” she said via Instagram Live, noting that her costars went “easy” on Jax for their affair, but came for her. “They wanted to attack me instead of him. They wanted to attack, attack, attack, attack, attack. I was wrong, I was this, I was that, calling me names, saying my hair was nappy, which is weird coming out of their mouths.”

The former SURver added that she was disappointed that she didn’t get the chance to film any confessionals for season 4.

"It could be different on their end, but in my opinion, I thought it was weird that everybody on the show got to do interviews and confessionals and I didn't even get a chance to do that, to tell my story,” she said. “Which was a very interesting story, being a black woman in the military at the time. At the time I was still in the army. … I didn't feel like they appreciated that."

In June 2023, Faith started a GoFundMe to help her with legal fees so she could pursue "justice against Stassi." Faith previously claimed in 2020 that Stassi and Kristen had falsely reported her to the police years prior for a crime she didn't commit. Stassi and Kristen were fired from Pump Rules as a result of their actions. 

In a June 2023 statement to Us, Faith said, “I believe Stassi hasn’t learned from her mistakes and is still alleging in her book that I have committed a felony. This is harmful to my career and to my family. Enough is enough. I found an amazing legal team and we are seeking assistance from supporters that also stand against bullying and racial divide to once and for all end this matter." 

Jax’s ex-girlfriend runs a cooking blog called Cooking for Everyone and moved to Puerto Rico after one season on the Bravo hit. After announcing her engagement to love Barret in September 2020, the twosome became parents in early 2021. 

“On January 14th at 2:33pm, our lives changed forever 🥰 It’s now been exactly a week since our little girl came into our world, and we can’t imagine how we lived without her,” she wrote via Instagram. “For all the parents that told us ‘It’s a love you can’t describe,’ you were absolutely right. Welcome to the world, Penelope 💕."

In January 2023, Carmen revealed via Instagram that she and her family had relocated to Vermont. 

The former SURver is still close with Stassi and often joins her on her “Straight Up With Stassi” podcast. Kristina, who travels the world with her longtime boyfriend Max, sells homemade lip balm and facial spray on Etsy. She returned to Vanderpump Rules for season 10, which aired in 2023.

Kristina revealed in October 2022 that she was “keeping a big secret” — her pregnancy. She welcomed son River on March 15, 2023. 

While Tina had a full-time role on season 1, she took a backseat when the show returned for season 2. While she continued to pursue a singing and acting career post-SUR, Tina hit pause to recover after she was shot in Los Angeles on Black Friday in November 2019.

“The bullet collapsed my lung, severely lacerated my liver, punctured my diaphragm, broke my ribs and exited out my back. I almost died. And a part of me definitely did,” she wrote on a GoFundMe fundraiser page. “To the doctors that saved my life.. THANK YOU, I’m in awe of your compassion and your genius. To the nurses that held my hand when I couldn’t take the pain..THANK YOU so much. You’re my ANGELS.”

Scheana confirmed in September 2019 that she was officially done with Adam and the bar-back quit his job at the West Hollywood restaurant. It’s unclear if he keeps in touch with the penguin Scheana purchased him before their split, but he has a longtime girlfriend named Gabbie Owens.

While both working at SUR, Jen and Jeremy welcomed son Kingston, who was briefly shown on the Bravo series, in 2013. After her split from Jeremy, Jen married Steve Shea in March 2021 and welcomed a daughter named Michelina in July 2021.  The couple expanded their family with son Rocco in September 2023. 

 She also creates and sells craft kids, hair accessories and gift baskets online.

Jeremy, for his part, coparents Kingston with Jen and works in business development for Tao Group Hospitality.

After a dramatic season 7, Billie Lee quit her job at SUR and claimed she was bullied by her coworkers.

“The bullying on and off camera brought my deep insecurities to the surface, this dark black mirror held up high for everyone in public to see and to judge,” she wrote in July 2019. “I now have the opportunity to educate and inspire others with my activism work and new projects taking off. Every day is an opportunity to take back your dream, to embrace your journey and live the life you’ve always wanted. You are never too old or ‘too gay’ and it’s never too late to start over.”

Lee briefly returned to Pump Rules in 2024, following Tom Sandoval and Rachel “Raquel” Leviss’ cheating scandal. Her book, Why Are You So Sensitive?, dropped in September 2024.

Us broke the news in April 2019 that Rob had a new girlfriend after his relationship with Scheana ended. “[With Heather] there’s no drama, there’s no anything. It really is just an easy thing,” the This Is LA host told Us at the time, noting that Heather is likely The One. “It’s just an easy situation and she actually makes my life better by just being in it.”

Things, however, seemingly fizzled between the pair.

Frank, who started dating Stassi during season 1 after her breakup with Jax, was fired from his job at SUR after he was allegedly rude to a customer. Stassi later revealed on her podcast that Frank was the one who allegedly tried to sell a sex tape of her to TMZ for $900. While he has gone quiet on social media, the Next Level Basic author said during a 2018 episode of her “Straight Up With Stassi” podcast that two fans told her that Frank was living in New York in 2018. “They were like ‘He’s up living in the middle of nowhere New York state and working at a deli,'” Stassi said.

Frank appeared to have tied the knot in July 2023. Instagram account @BravoKnowledge shared a snap of Frank in a tuxedo walking down the aisle with a woman in a wedding dress. 

Scheana’s bestie was in the background on several seasons of Vanderpump Rules, but she got more attention during season 4 when she hooked up with James during his relationship with Kristen. Jenna has since shifted her attention to her training business.

Fans began speculating about whether Raquel would return for season 11 while season 10 was still on the air. After her affair with Sandoval came to light in March 2023, Raquel faced backlash from both Pump Rules viewers and her costars. She entered a mental health treatment facility in April 2023 after facing her costars during the heated three-part season 10 reunion, which was filmed one month prior. (The special aired over the course of three weeks in May and June 2023.)

Months later, Raquel spoke out for the first time since the scandal during an August 2023 appearance on Bethenny Frankel’s “ReWives” podcast.

“Part of the reason why I wanted to take some time away is just because it was so chaotic and loud and there was such vitriol online. But then the other part of the reason why I wanted to go to a treatment facility was to understand my behaviors,” she said, adding that she knew she “needed to make a change” after the cheating scandal.

Raquel then seemingly confirmed that she wouldn’t appear on season 11, which had already begun filming at the time.

“You mentioned something about the addiction of doing reality TV and the way that they always dangle that carrot in front of you, like, ‘Well, you need to tell your side of the story otherwise it’s gonna be written for you,’” she told Bethenny. “And that’s terrifying. So, I almost went back … just because of that.”

Raquel also claimed that she hadn’t “seen a single penny” of the ratings boost that the scandal gave the Bravo series and said that the network is “laughing” and “running to the bank” to profit off the renewed interest in Pump Rules in the wake of the affair.

Raquel, who now goes by Rachel, started her own podcast “Rachel Goes Rogue.”

Charli made her Vanderpump Rules debut in 2020 but ultimately chose not to return after Raquel Leviss' affair with Sandoval played out on screen three years later. In November 2023, Charli announced that she is engaged to boyfriend Corey Loftus.
