Vanderpump Rules is full of romantic relationships. Many of the cast members have dated each other and also been involved in many cheating scandals. While some of these relationships are truly toxic, others are surprisingly healthy. While fans might watch for the dramatic moments and relationship issues, they also watch to see those couples that actually care about one another.
Of all the relationships on Vanderpump Rules, we’ve ranked the best relationships on the show to lead up to the best and most enduring of them all.
Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz
Unfortunately, the relationship bar for this series is rather low. This show has lasted for so long because many of the characters are highly dysfunctional and unhealthy relationships that are fascinating to watch. So, there are really only a few couples that seem healthy.
Karie and Tom have their moments of being cute, and they are committed to one another. However, they also have been extremely toxic and treated each other horribly. Tom has cheated on her multiple times, and Katie has verbally abused him.
James Kennedy and Logan Noh
This relationship was one of the more short-lived ones in the series. While it was insisted that these two were only ever friends, there was a lot of speculation that this wasn’t quite true. These two were clearly really close friends, and it’s still unclear if they ever were more than that.
While they seemed close for a time, Logan’s insistence on telling everyone they were hooking up, while James was dating Raquel, ended their friendship to some extent.
Scheana Marie and Rob Valetta
When it comes to Vanderpump Rules, healthy relationships are a bit hard to come by. So, some of the best relationships are really more the best of the wrist. Scheana has had a lot of struggles finding a healthy relationship.
Her marriage to Mike Shay unraveled quickly, and more recent men she’s tried to date haven’t committed. While Scheana was clearly more into Rob than he was into her, he was at least more stable than Shay and more honest about how he felt.
James Kennedy and Raquel Leviss
James and Raquel have a relationship that’s hard to figure out. There have been many rumors that James cheated on her, and she seems more interested in trying to be on the show than in him. While they don’t seem genuinely connected, they do seem to treat each other all right.
Compared to how James treated Kristen and that entire relationship, his situation with Raquel seems positively great. They don’t seem like a great match, but at least they don’t yell and scream at each other.
Lala Kent and Randall Emmett
While Lala and Randall seem to have a somewhat dramatic relationship at times, they are more stable than many other couples on the show. Clearly the setup they have works for them both and is what they both want.
While the start of the relationship was a bit shady given how secretive it was, now that they are out in the open with everything and soon to be married, things have settled. They seem much happier now than they have in the past.
Lala Kent and Ariana Maddix
Ariana is the only main cast member who has confirmed that her sexuality is something other than heterosexual. While she hasn’t labeled it, she has explained that she is somewhere on the bisexual/pansexual spectrum. Lala and Ariana confirmed in season 6 that they have hooked up at least once.
While they might not be dating, they are really close friends and clearly respect each other a lot.
Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval
Perhaps one of the strongest relationships of the entire series isn’t a romantic one but is instead a close friendship. Tom and Tom have known each other for years, and they always have each others’ backs.
In many ways, they are just as committed to one another as they are to their partners. While they might not be romantically linked, their bond is strong, and it’s just as worth celebrating. Sandoval is particularly good at looking out for Schwartz and caring about his well-being. While they both have their moments of making mistakes, they are loyal to each other and rarely hurt the other.
Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark
One of the relatively newer relationships on Vanderpump is between Stassi and her now fiance Beau. Stassi has had a string of truly awful boyfriends with Jax, Frank, and Patrick. So, seeing her finally find someone who treats her well and loves her has been rewarding.
Beau genuinely cares about her, and she cares about him, too. This relationship has also helped relax Stassi, and she seems like a much happier, adjusted person now. While their relationship is still newer than many others on the show, it’s clear they are good for each other and make a great match.
Tom Sandoval and Ariana Maddix
Tom and Ariana have been together for many years now, and they seem to have one of the most solid relationships on the show. They’ve had very few major conflicts, and they clearly love and respect one another a lot. They seem great at communicating, and they are some of the most progressive on the show when it comes to gender roles and supporting one another.
While they’ve had some conflict over things like marriage and children, they've always been willing to work things out together and make things work. Now that they’ve bought a house together in Valley Village, it looks like they will continue to thrive.
Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd
There is no one else on the series that can match the long-lasting relationship between Ken and Lisa. They have been together for decades, and they seem to have very little conflict. While this might be because they keep it off-camera, they do seem genuinely happy.
They support each other in life and seem to have a good understanding of each other’s needs. Ken is always willing to go along with Lisa’s endeavors, and it’s rather endearing to watch. They are also one of the best couples that have been featured in the Real Housewives franchise.
