To be continued… With so many cast members having undergone a significant shift since filming finished on Vanderpump Rules season 9, fans are understandably eager about what the future holds for their favorite characters.
In October 2021, as new episodes of the Bravo series premiered, Lala Kent ignited breakup rumors when she deleted all social media posts featuring her then-fiancé, Randall Emmett. According to Us Weekly, Lala and Randall called off their engagement the next month.
Meanwhile, co-stars James Kennedy and Raquel Leviss had already announced their split while filming the Vanderpump Rules reunion by year’s end.
They announced their breakup in a joint Instagram post that read, “After these 5 amazing years we had together, we decided we had two distinct goals and made the decision to call off the engagement.” This was published in December 2021. We still care deeply about one another, but we’re not romantically involved. Please only think good things about us when thinking about each other. All my love, always.
The pair discussed their breakup in depth during the January 2022 reunion special.
Two months ago, we talked. I said, “Do you think I am your soulmate?” and she said, “Yes.” Season 9’s James proposal was the first time he “felt like we weren’t destined in the galaxy,” he said later. The response wasn’t exactly what I expected. Not like, “Yes, without a doubt, you are my soulmate.” It seems right to me, and I think that’s how it should be. That’s what I’m hoping for, anyway.
And rather than getting married, having a baby, and then getting a f*cking divorce, we’d rather simply end it and rip the Band-Aid off. What I don’t want is for you to think that.
I never expected to be the one to break such shocking news. And yet, I think it’s crucial that I share my life honestly with you,” Katie wrote on Instagram. Tom and I have been on quite the journey through life together over the past 12 years, but we’ve decided to end our marriage. None of the parties involved are angry or bitter about the conclusion. We hold each other in the highest regard, and our friendship is a testament to that.
The co-owner of TomTom issued a separate message, telling supporters that it “ached” his heart to announce the split. I am not a victim. I won’t be penning any downbeat tunes. He said on Instagram, “Totally appreciate Katie’s decision and we’ve had good, constructive chats about it.” It would be much more tragic if she stayed with me even if she wasn’t pleased.
Can we predict what the future of Vanderpump Rules will be like in light of all the recent breakups and shakeups? Read on for the current state of our knowledge:
Longtime cast members Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz announced in March 2022 that they were splitting up after 12 years together, continuing the trend of high-profile breakups.
When Would Filming Begin?
Season 10 of the show was confirmed by Bravo in May of 2022. Just two months later, the cast of Us officially began production.
Who Will Return?
A source has confirmed that the entirety of the season 9 cast will be back for another go-around. Season 10 will feature regular guest stars Lala, James, Katie, Schwartz, Raquel, Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Scheana Shay, Brock Davies, and Charli Burnett.
Will Scheana and Brock’s Wedding Be Included?
The “Good As Gold” singer hinted in February 2022 that filming their wedding vows to an Australian native was a possibility.
While Brock joked that he expected something “to go wrong” if their wedding aired on camera, Scheana told Us at the time, “We don’t know anything about next season yet, but if this happens to fall in the timeframe of filming then sure. We would love [it].”
How Will James and Raquel Navigate Their Involvement?
In December 2021, a source told Us that despite the termination of their engagement, the professional DJ “does want” Raquel to continue making appearances on the show.
A whole month later, the ex-beauty queen revealed that she had been keeping her career options limited because of her relationship.
“Since I finished college, I have been expressing an interest in working as an occupational therapist specifically with children. Since I’ve been trying to make it as a model and enjoy the LA scene, I’ve been putting it off. However, I feel like I need to shift focus.
If I’m already exhausted, I won’t be able to give it my full attention “In the January 2022 season 9 reunion special, Raquel made this statement. “It’s not easy. It was a common source of fantasy for me to spend the rest of my life with James. It’s like finishing the book and moving on to something new.”
When asked about the possibility of his new girlfriend appearing in season 10, James later hinted that he wouldn’t say no to the idea. After their breakup, the British native was associated with Ally Leber.
“In all honesty, it’s too soon to tell. Truth be told, she’s one of my favorite people. Honestly, I have no idea. To be continued. On the “Give Them Lala” album, he said, “I can’t expect any female to do that.” “in the month of February 2022, podcast.
That’s roughly how I felt about Raquel back when we first started dating… I don’t want to repeat my previous failures with this girl. I’ve picked up a lot of new information. Forget everything that has happened to me; I just want to go on.
How Will the Cast’s Personal Lives Affect the Show?
A number of his co-stars have recently gone through breakups, and Sandoval predicted as much in an interview with E! News in March 2022.
Three months later, James hinted to the site that there would be significant changes in the romantic status quo on the show for Season 10.
How Will Katie and Tom’s Split Factor In?
We were told by an insider in an exclusive interview that Season 10 would focus on Katie and Tom’s personal lives following the announcement of their breakup in March 2022. Fans will get to watch their divorce unfold, the source claimed.
Afterward, the Utah native hinted that a lot of interesting topics will be up for discussion when the show returned. Since “everyone’s lives are so varied at this time,” she predicted an “interesting” season. To paraphrase, “I haven’t heard anything [about] not coming back, so that’s a positive sign, you know? It seems like they’re getting the hang of things, anyway.
TMZ received footage of Katie and Tom fighting in August 2022 after the billionaire was caught on camera flirting with another woman after the breakup.
How Is Raquel Approaching the New Season?
Raquel was “nervous” to start filming season 10 with James after their breakup in July 2022.
During an episode of the “Scheananigans” podcast, she predicted, “There will be a different dynamic this time.” Since we haven’t spent much time together since our breakup, I expect it to be an unusual setting for me.
Raquel said she was looking forward to seeing her on-screen pals again. “I’ve gotten pretty close to you and Ariana, Brock and Sandoval, and even Schwartz,” she continued. As a result, “I feel like I have genuine friendships, which will make it interesting to film.”
What Can Fans Expect?
Season 10 will reportedly focus on how Schwartz’s life was “flipped upside down” after his divorce. He told Us exclusively in July 2022, “I was in a position where I thought I was about to have kids.” Without a sure, the dynamics have changed. At this point, I feel like I’m simply relearning how to be myself (not that I was ever codependent), and I think that’s the case for at least some of the other cast members as well.
In turn, James suggested a “huge” change in front of the camera. After joking that “just when you thought the show was coming to an end and everyone was getting married and having babies, [now] everyone’s pretty much getting divorced and not anymore,” he told Us. I think it’s wonderful for the program and I think everyone looks great, but it’s definitely different and that’s a good thing.”
Lisa Vanderpump, however, has hinted that the characters will be facing “new difficulties.” Their effort to mature is reflected in the fact that “many situations are a little bit more serious,” as she put it. That’s why, I believe, so many people can identify with them.
