Former Vanderpump Rulescast members Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and Kristen Doute are officially returning to the Bravo-sphere. The trio is joined by other cast members Nia Booko, Danny Booko, Jesse Lally, Michelle Saniei Lally, Luke Broderick (Kristen's boyfriend), Jason Caperna, and Janet Caperna. Other friends like Jasmine Goode and Zack Wickham will make appearances as friends on the show, but aren't main cast members.
Is Stassi Shroeder going to be on "The Valley"?

No, Stassi Shroeder isn't joining her former VPR castmates on The Valley. According to our favorite "basic" girl, she didn't want to join the show. She said in an interview with Jeff Lewisthat it wouldn't "reflect my reality" given that these aren't Stassi's IRL friends. Stassi continued with, "I think are lovely, but it’s not my crew.”
The most relatable reason, though? She noted, "I don’t want to have to go and do things that I normally wouldn’t do. I don’t want to disrupt the life that I have right now, because I really like my life right now." Come on, boundaries!
When does "The Valley" premiere?

What are Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright doing these days?

Jax and Brittany have one child named Cruz, and they own a bar together called Jax's Studio City. He described the bar by saying, "It's awesome; it's like a tavern, sports bar, lounge — a little bit of everything." Jax elaborated, noting that Brittany actually did most of the design for the bar, saying, "it's amazing, it's beautiful."
Recently, there's been a bit of speculation that the couple is splitting up, however. We've watched their struggles pre- and post-marriages, but rumors sparked after Jax took some Brittany-free trips and posted a pretty close (now-deleted) selfie with his publicist. Brittany previously commented on the speculation during their podcast, basically just stating that "marriage is hard." She went on to explain that sometimes couples need to take space from one another, not necessarily saying if that's what's actually happening with Jax right now.
Well, now Brittany's addressing the rumors more head on. During her podcast this week, she said, "Jax and I are taking time apart, and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health." She added that the whole thing is difficult for her to talk about, and that ultimately she just wants to be a good mother to Cruz. The Valley hasn't even aired yet, and I already feel like we're getting so much drama. Regardless of what happens with this couple, we hope the best for their family.
