Vanderpump Alums Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz Join The Valley's Junior Season

Summary
- Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz join the cast of The Valley: Persian Style for season 3
- They previously made cameo appearances in season 2 of the spinoff series
- Longtime Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor exited the show to focus on personal matters
In a major shakeup for the Bravo reality TV landscape, Vanderpump Rules stars Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz have officially joined the cast of The Valley: Persian Style for its upcoming third season. The news was announced at BravoCon on November 14, 2025, where the network revealed the trailer and cast list for the spinoff series.
Kent and Schwartz, both former mainstays on the original Vanderpump Rules, have been seen filming with The Valley cast over the past few months. Their addition to the show comes after longtime Vanderpump star Jax Taylor exited the series to focus on his "sobriety, my mental health and coparenting relationship," according to a statement he released at the time.
The executive producer of The Valley, Alex Baskin, has addressed the fan backlash surrounding the potential addition of Kent, Schwartz, and fellow Vanderpump alum Scheana Shay. Baskin noted that the trio are "very much a part of this group, just naturally, and they're very comfortable living their lives in front of the cameras."
The Valley's junior season will also feature other Vanderpump alumni, including Kristen Doute and Brittany Cartwright, alongside a diverse cast of Persian-American personalities.
