Amazon Live. "It's strange how they have their own show and we're not part of it. And right now, they're not part of our show either. We're all really close friends, and it would be great if we could film a show together."

Jax, 44, Brittany, 34, and Kristen's return to Bravo received significant media attention last month after Deadline disclosed that the three of them had signed up for a new reality series. This show, consisting of eight episodes, will center around a group of friends transitioning from their wild younger days to parenthood and adult life in California's San Fernando Valley.

Jax and Kristen, both 40, were part of the original cast of Vanderpump Rules when it first aired in 2013, as Bravo fans are aware. Later on, Brittany joined the show in 2015 after she began dating Jax. After getting married in 2019, the couple surprised everyone by revealing their departure from the series in December 2020.

Jax shared in an Instagram statement that the past 8 years on Vanderpump Rules have been incredibly challenging, rewarding, and fulfilling. However, he and Brittany will not be returning for another season. They are excited to redirect their focus towards their growing family and upcoming ventures. Jax expressed his gratitude towards Bravo TV, Evolution USA, and their Vanderpump castmates, as they will always hold a special place in their hearts. He also thanked the fans who have supported them throughout their journey.

As for Kristen, she was fired in June 2020, along with Stassi Schroeder, due to her past racially insensitive behavior towards former costar Faith Stowers. Additionally, newcomers Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni were also let go due to their controversial social media posts.

The author of "He's Making You Crazy" finally spoke out about the scandal a month later. In a July 2020 episode of the "Hollywood Raw" podcast, she shared, "I've realized that I still have a lot to learn. It may sound cliché, but it's true. I thought I understood racism, but now I'm educating myself about unconscious bias and anti-racism. I've also come to recognize the importance of taking action within our local communities to bring about real change."

Earlier this year, Kristen made a return to Vanderpump Rules following her ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval's cheating scandal with Raquel Leviss. She made a brief appearance on the season 10 finale to show support for Ariana Madix, who ended her nine-year relationship with Sandoval because of his affair.

The current cast of Vanderpump Rules, including Lala, Ariana, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz, and James Kennedy, have already started filming season 11. Recently, Scheana Shay opened up about the difficulties of interacting with Sandoval on camera.

"We all went to Tahoe for season 11 filming. Unfortunately, Ariana and Katie couldn't make it, but Tom Sandoval was there. There was a particular day that was incredibly emotionally draining for me – the most draining day I have ever experienced in all 11 seasons of Vanderpump Rules," Scheana, 37, revealed during her own Amazon Live session on Monday. "I'm not exaggerating when I say that my eyelashes were sore from crying so much that day. My contacts were dry, and I had a stuffy nose. I felt completely drained in every possible way. Out of all the seasons, that day hit me the hardest."
