January 2022 saw the finale of Vanderpump Rules' ninth season, with the show continuing to entertain its loyal viewers. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alumni Lisa Vanderpump was the first to land her own spin-off series which centers on the wait staff of one of her successful West Hollywood restaurants. Vanderpump Rules first premiered in 2013 and, like its predecessor, is full of drama, particularly relationship drama.
While the cast has changed over the show's 9 seasons, what has stayed the same is the cast's need to date and have sex with each other - even when they shouldn't. Given this fact, the cast members have had several relationships over the years before finding ones that stand the test of time, or so they've hoped.
Stassi Schroeder & Beau Clark - Together For 4 Years And Counting
As an OG cast member of Vanderpump Rules, Stassi was known for being linked with womanizer Jax Taylor. She then had a string of unsuccessful relationships on and off the show before seemingly finding her soulmate, Beau Clark.
The two's relationship and cemetery engagement were captured for season 8 of the series. While they had big plans for a destination wedding, the COVID-19 pandemic, pregnancy, and Stassi being fired from the series put a damper on those plans. Still, the two are getting ready to celebrate their 2nd wedding anniversary and 4th year together alongside their daughter.
Raquel Leviss & James Kennedy - Ended After 5 Years
When James Kennedy joined the cast of Vanderpump Rules full time in season 4, fans were ready for him to be the next Jax Taylor. And for the most part, he was - cursing and insulting his fellow castmates and eventually cheating on his girlfriend Raquel Leviss.
While there's no doubt these two had their problems, they were determined to make their relationship work. During season 9, James even proposed to Raquel in a lavish Coachella-themed ceremony after 5 years together. While the engagement planning was one of Vanderpump Rules' best storylines yet, it ultimately led to heartbreak. Unfortunately, the ring doesn't always mean forever and the two called off their engagement in December 2021, a few months after the engagement.
Kristen Doute & Tom Sandoval - Ended After 6 Years
One of the most toxic couples to ever be featured on Vanderpump Rules was Kristen Doute and Tom Sandoval. The two joined the cast during the first season of the show and were already several years into a relationship. The pair's personalities never seemed to mesh well and the cameras only amplified their problems.
During season 2 of the show, the couple ended their 6-year relationship after one of Vanderpump Rules' biggest betrayals: Kristen cheated on Tom with his best friend Jax Taylor. While Tom quickly moved on to a better relationship, Kristen struggled to find another worthy man to love which is why her relationship with Tom has been her longest yet.
Lala Kent & Randall Emmett - Ended After 6 Years
Lala Kent joined Vanderpump Rules first as a reoccurring cast member in season 4 before becoming a full-time cast member in season 6. During those first years, there was much speculation about Kent's relationship status and how she could afford lavish vacations on a hostess salary.
Eventually, Kent shared her relationship with film producer Randall Emmett with Vanderpump Rules' audience. Despite their age difference and questionable relationship beginnings, the two seemed happy together. They were engaged in 2018 and even welcomed a daughter in March 2021, but Lala officially called off their engagement and ended their relationship in December 2021 after 6 years when cheating allegations against Randall came out.
Scheana Shay & Michael Shay - Ended After 7 Years
Scheana Shay made Vanderpump Rules history when she became the first reality star to get married on the TV show. Unfortunately, she also became the first to get divorced on the show.
Friends for over a decade, Scheana and Michael wed on Vanderpump Rules during season 3. Their first year of marriage was rocky as Michael struggled with addiction but things seemed to be getting better in year 2. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case and Scheana decided to end their 7-year relationship and file for divorce.
Brittany Cartwright & Jax Taylor - Together For 7 Years And Counting
While Brittany Cartwright was arguably the cast member most likely to get married, Jax Taylor was certainly the cast member most likely to never get married and yet these two proved everyone wrong.
The former cast members got engaged and married on the show in a lavish, over-the-top castle wedding of any girl's dream. Despite cheating and routine stress, these two have managed to stay together and are gearing up to celebrate their 3rd wedding anniversary this summer. However, they've been together for 7 years now marking Jax's longest relationship ever.
Ariana Madix & Tom Sandoval - Together For 8 Years And Counting
In an interesting twist, one of the most successful Vanderpump Rules couples is the only one who has not "tied the knot." After a tumultuous relationship with Kristen Doute, Tom Sandoval turned to another co-worker for love.
Tom and Ariana Madix started dating shortly after his relationship ended and have been together for 8 years and counting. While the two have differing opinions on what their future holds, they maintain that the most important thing to them is that their love stands the test of time.
Katie Maloney & Tom Schwartz - Ended After 12 Years
Of all the Vanderpump Rules relationships, fans were most devoted to Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz. The two have been together for the duration of the show's 9 season run and were together even before then. However, things weren't always smooth sailing for these two.
Tom struggled with commitment issues which lead Katie to go restless waiting for a proposal. In the end, Tom came to his senses and the two wed in a beautiful ceremony officiated by Lisa Vanderpump. Unfortunately, the marriage didn't solve all their problems and the two decided to end their 12-year relationship earlier this year. Fans were quite shocked at the announcement and hope their relationship drama will play out in Vanderpump Rules' season 10.
Lisa Vanderpump & Ken Vanderpump - Together 40+ Years And Counting
While it's been proven that the young cast of Vanderpump Rules might not be great at relationships, they do have a great boss and role model to look up to. Lisa Vanderpump and her husband Ken Vanderpump have been married for 40+ years and together for even longer.
The restaurateurs have managed to make their marriage last despite also being business partners and allowing cameras into their lives for several years. While there's no telling why their marriage has withstood the test of time when some of their employees have struggled despite seeming to be happy, the bottom line is these two love is undeniable and perhaps, unconditional.
