Vanderpump Rules Season 12 ended with Lisa Vanderpump’s new crew in a familiar situation: rehashing some explosive drama in the SUR alley.
As Angelica Jensen and Audrey Lingle’s final showdown picked up steam during VPR‘s season finale, their castmates — who include Venus Binkley, Jason Cohen, Shayne Davis, Chris Hahn, Marcus Johnson, Natalie Maguire, Demy Selem, and Kim Suarez — gathered around to observe and add their own two cents, when necessary.
Amid the shouting, LVP eventually emerged to pull rank and remind her SUR-vers that they had “a job to do” inside the West Hollywood hotspot, as the Pride celebration was still in full swing.

“At the end of the day, they’ve got to get it together, because they all work together every day,” Lisa remarked in a confessional. “They work on top of each other — some more than others.”Â
Naturally, the dustup left plenty of unresolved issues to unpack at the upcoming Season 12 reunion. In the meantime, read on for exclusive details on what the new VPR cast has been up to since filming wrapped.
How Venus Binkley ended Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules
Venus capped off the season by hosting Pride at SUR and, as he put it, finally “living in the future that I always dreamed of living in.”
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish, Venus revealed where his friendships with the cast stand today.Â
“I’m closest probably to Natalie, just because we kind of trauma bonded not only at SUR, but with the show,” he said. “And then I’m probably on the outs with Angelica. I don’t really like her behavior right now or watching her back on the show.”
Although Venus is still friends with Marcus and Kim post-filming, the experience of watching the episodes helped him gain a new perspective on their onetime “close” bond.
“I kind of lost that respect and value of friendship that I had with them before,” he admitted. “And today, it’s like I love them, probably always will, but now I have more boundaries. I don’t involve myself with their relationship. I don’t even want to hear about their relationship. I love them individually for who they are, and I don’t want no part of like anything in between, other than that.”
How Shayne Davis ended Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules
Shayne ended Season 12 “in a good spot” with Angelica, as the two rekindled their flame in the alley and continued making out on the SUR dancefloor, afterward.
Though Shayne offered an update that he and Angelica are still on good terms today, they are no longer together: “We had a split-off, after a little bit of dating after filming had ended.”

In fact, Shayne insisted that he’s not on the outs with any of his castmates — even if they “have an out” with him.
“I’m tight with just about everybody,” he continued, specifically naming Venus, Marcus, and Jason. Shayne also underscored how he’s “very, very close with Natalie,” whom he’d also romanced earlier in the season.
How Angelica Jensen ended Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules
Meanwhile, Angelica has a new boyfriend, following her and Shayne’s split. She revealed that she met the unnamed “picture-perfect guy” on a modeling gig, about a month after filming wrapped.
After Chris called out Angelica’s behavior as her fling with Jason ended, she still hasn’t officially made amends with the cousins.
“I don’t think I really ever got an apology from Chris,” she added in her interview. “I think there’s maybe, like, still more healing to go before I can, like, feel my, like, most comfortable around them, because I was really having a hard time with him, Audrey, and Jason, throughout filming.”
How Audrey Lingle ended Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules
Following their finale argument related to the digs she made at her stand-up comedy show, Audrey told The Daily Dish that her friendship with Angelica remains a “touchy subject” today.
“It’s hard to say where we go from here, because I think we have such differing opinions,” she explained. “And it’s hard for me to be friends with someone I don’t feel like I can trust. So, it’ll be interesting to see if we can reopen that door.”
During VPR‘s finale episode, Audrey had also come to realize that Chris had “a problem with commitment,” and ended their relationship for the second time within days. After telling him that she couldn’t be “strung along in this situation anymore,” the SUR host declared that she was “gonna go find someone” who was willing to go all in with her.
As for who Audrey is closest to today, she said that person “will always be Kim.”
How Chris Hahn ended Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules
As mentioned, after Chris convinced Audrey to give him a second chance, he “came to the realization” that he was “not ready to commit 100 percent” to their romance, days later.
In the interim, Chris was more focused on keeping his “options open,” ahead of his summer travels to his home state of New Jersey and also to Europe.
“I feel like s–t. I’m just not confident enough in myself in what we have right now,” Chris told a producer, post-breakup. “If we were already dating for half a year, the traveling wouldn’t be a thing. It’s just too early, and I pushed her away. It’s my fault.”
How Jason Cohen ended Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules
After Jason’s failed romance with Angelica, the two continued to be at odds right up until the final moments of Season 12. Amid Angelica’s argument with Audrey, Jason had called out his ex-fling for being upset about the comedy show disses, while saying “the same f–ked up s–t” about him and Chris amid the OnlyFans drama.
Jason ended the season by telling Angelica to “f–k off,” to which she clapped back, “You’re literally a gnat.”
During an earlier interview, Jason revealed that his post-filming plans included managing and running businesses with Chris, including them maybe even “building an app together.”
How Marcus Johnson ended Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules
Marcus continued his career pivot into DJ’ing by performing at the SUR Pride event during VPR‘s Season 12 finale.
As of Episode 12, Marcus and Kim were also preparing to take the next steps in their relationship and possibly starting a family together. When Venus asked if he really wanted a child right now, Marcus answered, “Nine months from now, maybe.”
During the same conversation, Marcus added that his and Kim’s communication had “definitely gotten better,” after their drama earlier in the season.
How Kim Suarez ended Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules
As mentioned, Kim shared that she’d stopped taking birth control, and was letting the cards fall where they may, when it came to a potential pregnancy with Marcus. She’s yet to share any baby updates, however.
Outside of SUR, Kim, who is an actor, singer, and dancer, has also been juggling her aspirations in the entertainment industry.
How Natalie Maguire ended Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules
Natalie hit a high note in her musical career when she performed her new single, “Passenger,” at SUR during the Vanderpump Rules finale, earning raves from a “proud” LVP, afterward.
“Lisa’s approval literally means the world to me, because not that long ago, I really disappointed her,” Natalie remarked in a confessional, referring to her earlier suspension from SUR. “It is so full circle that I’m finally in her good graces again and I’m not a complete disaster of a person.”
How Demy Selem ended Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules
The longest standing employee among the group, Demy continued to balance her role as a SUR manager with her cast friendships.
When she’s not at the restaurant and lounge, Demy has also been keeping busy with a side gig as a personal chef.
“I have, like, so many dreams, but, like, they change all the time,” she previously said of her future plans. “I mean, I would definitely like to do something with cooking. I don’t know if I would necessarily want to, like, open up a restaurant, but I definitely wanna expand my cooking business for sure.”
With the latest chapter at SUR officially in the books, don’t miss a sneak peek at the dramatic Vanderpump Rules Season 12 reunion.
