Bravo‘s newest spinoff The Valley, starring Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and Kristen Doute, will premiere on the network in spring 2024. The show will follow 5 couples and two friends as they wrestle with relationships, parenting, and more. The first teaser for the upcoming series was released earlier this month and showed the cast doing regular everyday chores while dressed to the nines. While we wait for the premiere, let’s get to know the cast of The Valley a little better.
Jax Taylor & Brittany Cartwright
Fans first met Jax Taylor on Season 1 of the hit Bravo show Vanderpump Rules. He was the bad boy bartender who could’t stop getting into trouble and fans loved to watch him cause chaos in the group.
After a string of failed relationships, Jax met Brittany between Seasons 3 and 4 of VPR. Fans watched their messy love story play out on TV. At times, it felt like the relationship was on shaky ground, but they never threw in the towel.
They tied the knot in June 2019 and welcomed a son, Cruz, in April 2021. The couple left VPR after Season 8 and have since enjoyed a more low-key lifestyle. They launched their podcast “When Reality Hits” in March 2023 and have stayed engaged with Bravo fans despite leaving the network.
Kristen Doute & Luke Broderick
Kristen Doute is another VPR OG. She appeared on the series for eight seasons. She was fired from the show in 2020 after her former co-star, Faith Stowers, claimed Kristen, along with a few other VPR stars, reported her to the police after “reading a Daily Mail article about a Black woman wanted for theft,” TODAY reported. Kristen stayed tight with the VPR crew since leaving the show, including Brittany and Jax.
Kristen met Luke Broderick at a wedding in Colorado in June 2022. The two have since built a life together in the Vally, raising dogs and co-hosting a podcast called “Sex, Love, and What Else Matters.”
Jesse and Michelle Lally
Jesse and Michelle Lally are Bravo’s newest power couple. The couple work together as luxury real-estate brokers in Los Angeles, selling homes to some of the richest residents in the area. The couple share a three-year-old daughter named Isabelle, who even has her own Instagram account. So chic.
Jesse and Jax have known each other since their modeling days, so we’re sure we’ll see some double dates with the wives this season.
Jason Caperna and Janet Caperna
Jason and Janet Caperna are well acquainted with the VPR crew, making them a natural addition to the show. According to Bravo, Janet has known Jax, Brittany, and Kristen for years. They all used to live in the same area of West Hollywood before making the move to the valley.
The Bravo newbie and her attorney husband Jason are parents to an adorable newborn. We are excited to see how they navigate parenting on The Valley.
Danny Booko and Nia Booko
Danny Booko and Nia “Sanchez” Booko are busy parents of three children, all under the age of two. Danny is a model and actor, and Nina is a former Miss USA. The couple certainly live an interesting life, and we’re excited to learn more about them on The Valley.
Jasmine Goode (Friend)
In addition to the main cast, the show will also feature two “friends.” One of those friends is Jasmine Goode, a former NFL cheerleader and Bachelor Nation star. Since appearing on Nick Viall‘s season of The Bachelor, Jasmine has built a life for herself in the valley. She’s currently working in the real estate business.
Zack Wickham (Friend)
Zack Wickham is Brittany’s best friend from college and the only single cast member of The Valley. He is sure to bring the fun this season and stir the pot. Bravo described Zach as “a gym-goer who loves partying and dancing the night away.” Love. We need a fun, party animal amongst a group of married people. It would be no fun without him!
