News of the spinoff comes three years after Jax and Brittany—who tied the knot in 2019—SURved up resignation letters and departed from VPR. "We are excited to take this time to focus on our growing family and share with you our new endeavors," they said at the time, with Brittany adding in a statement that "our Vanderpump castmates will always remain close to our hearts."

The couple went on to welcome son Cruz in 2021.

Kristen—who was ousted from the VPR cast in 2020—returned to the show last year, appearing as a guest to comfort Ariana Madix after their mutual ex Tom Sandoval's monthslong affair with costar Rachel "Raquel" Leviss was uncovered.

"If anything," Kristen told Ariana in the season 10 finale, "I'm sorry to you that you had to do me the favor of taking him away."

She added, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, life is beautiful, so slay we must."
