Raise your Pumptinis and grab your goat cheese balls: the Vanderpump Rules cast is “living the best days of their lives.”

Vanderpump Rules, Bravo’s spinoff to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, debuted in 2013 with powerhouse boss — and former Housewive — Lisa Vanderpump at the helm. The series follows the lives of a dynamic and wild group of friends living in Los Angeles and working together at Vanderpump's West Hollywood restaurant SUR, which stands for "Sexy Unique Restaurant."

Though the cast has undergone several shakeups throughout the show's decade-long run, there has never been a dull day for the staff of SUR and viewers can always expect messy, chaotic drama.

Ahead of Vanderpump Rules' 10th season in 2023, Vanderpump (who is a producer on the show), told Forbes, "I knew that authenticity was key to reality television. There was nothing inauthentic about Vanderpump Rules at all. You could film this group when we're shooting the show or could keep going all year. They hang out together, they go on holiday together, they fight together, they sleep together. So, I didn't try and create something. This was organic," she said.

And season 10 did not disappoint thanks to #Scandoval — the treachery of Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ months-long affair. After news of the castmates' affair broke mid-season in early March, the next episode drew 2.2 million viewers, doubling its ratings from the previous week, according to Variety.

So what are everyone's favorite SURvers up today? Here's a look into the lives of the Vanderpump Rules cast.

Lisa Vanderpump

Lisa Vanderpump is the face of Vanderpump Rules. She got her start in reality television as an original housewife on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, though she quit the show in 2019 after nine seasons. On Vanderpump Rules, she serves as both a motherly figure to the young cast and a stern boss to her restaurant employees.

She has been married to her husband Ken Todd for nearly 40 years, and the duo have made a name for themselves in the hospitality industry: In addition to SUR, they own several establishments in Los Angeles as well as a cocktail garden in Las Vegas. Though one of their most popular restaurants in West Hollywood, PUMP, is closing its doors in 2023

"It's with heavy hearts that we announce that the lease at Pump Restaurant is expiring, and we will be closing its doors on July 5th, after 10 years of beautiful evenings under our olive trees," Vanderpump confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE in May 2023.

Aside from their empire of restaurants, Vanderpump and Todd are parents to daughter Pandora and son Max, both of whom have made appearances on Vanderpump Rules. In 2021, Lisa earned a new title, grandmother.

Stassi Schroeder

Stassi Schroeder, an original cast member of Vanderpump Rules, began working for Vanderpump's restaurants SUR and Villa Blanca (now permanently closed) in 2010. She exited the show after season 2 to move to New York City, only to return as Vanderpump's intern the following season.

During her time on VPR, Schroeder had her fair share of on-and-off-again relationships. She dated castmate Jax Taylor during season 1, though he ultimately cheated on her with her best friend and fellow costar Kristen Doute. She later dated Frank Herlihy and Patrick Meagher.

In 2019, she got engaged to her now-husband Beau Clark and the proposal was featured in season 9 of the show. In June 2020, however, Bravo fired her and Doute when their past racially insensitive remarks resurfaced about a former castmate, Faith Stowers.

She and Clark wed in September 2020. Just a few months later, the former reality star gave birth to the pair's first child, daughter Hartford, in January 2021. Schroeder is now expecting baby no. 2.

Kristen Doute

Kristen Doute is another original cast member of VPR. She gave fans legendary taglines and messy altercations in the iconic SUR alley.

The former server was romantically linked to castmate Tom Sandoval until he was accused of cheating on her with “Miami girl.” She later briefly dated cast member James Kennedy.

Doute exited the show in 2020 alongside Schroeder for filing false police reports on Stowers. However, she returned as Ariana Madix’s friend during the season 10 finale as fans watched the "Scandoval" love triangle unfold.

She is currently in a relationship with Sex, Love and What Else Matters podcast co-host Luke Broderick.

Katie Maloney

For the majority of her time on VPR, Katie Maloney has been best friends with Schroeder and Doute (the trio have called themselves the "Witches of WeHo") and linked to Tom Schwartz.

Despite past cheating allegations and turbulent times, Maloney and Schwartz tied the knot during season 5. Their 12-year relationship ended in March 2022, when the pair announced their separation; Maloney filed for divorce one week later.

During their marriage, Maloney and Schwartz discussed the idea of opening a sandwich shop together. But during season 10, Maloney revealed she is opening a restaurant with costar Madix called Something About Her, which is expected to open its doors in the summer of 2023.

Jax Taylor

Jax Taylor kicked off season 1 of Vanderpump Rules as one of the bad boys of the show, and his rocky relationship with Schroeder played out on screen. After their breakup, which ended because of his infidelity with Doute, he was linked to fellow SURvers Laura-Leigh, Vail Bloom and Stowers.

In 2015, Taylor met Brittany Cartwright, who later became a full-time cast member on the show. After a short breakup following his hookup with Stowers, the couple got back together, and he proposed to her in June 2018.

The pair got married the following year. In December 2020, Taylor announced that he and his wife would not return to Vanderpump Rules.

Since his departure from the show, Taylor and Cartwright welcomed their son, Cruz, in April 2021.

Scheana Shay

A Vanderpump Rules staple since season 1, Scheana Shay is known for her bubbly personality and song "Good as Gold." Some would even say VPR partially exists because of her: The spinoff show was introduced after former RHOBH cast member Brandi Glanville confronted Shay for having an affair with her then-husband Eddie Cibrian.

During season 2, Shay and her then-boyfriend Mike Shay got engaged. They exchanged in 2014 but called it quits two years later. Following her divorce, Shay lived the single girl life, dating Bachelor star Robby Hayes and coworkers Adam Spott and Max Boyens.

In November 2019, she confirmed her relationship with Brock Davies. In June 2020, the duo announced they were expecting their first child together and in April 2021, they welcomed their daughter, Summer Moon. Three months later, Davies proposed to her during season 8. They tied the knot in August 2022.

Tom Sandoval

Fans may recall first seeing Tom Sandoval on MTV’s The Hills during a modeling casting, but he truly made a name for himself as an original cast member on VPR. Before the show, he was in a relationship with Doute, which continued through seasons 1 and 2.

Sandoval and Doute eventually ended their relationship and he began a nine-year relationship with Madix. In March 2023, however, news broke that he had been cheating on her with close friend and fellow costar, Raquel Leviss, for months, leading to the end of their relationship.

Aside from being the man Madix “ever regrets loving,” he is a part-owner of L.A. bars TomTom and Schwartz & Sandy's Lounge.

Tom Schwartz was introduced on Vanderpump Rules as Sandoval’s best friend and Maloney's boyfriend. Unlike the rest of the cast, Schwartz was never a SUR staffer. He made a name for himself as Maloney’s “Bubba" and eventually became a full-time cast member in season 3.

After Maloney gave Schwartz an ultimatum — propose in six months or break up —he presented her with a ring on a string. In 2017, the pair tied the knot, though it wasn't a legal union. They exchanged vows again in 2019 (this time, legally), but separated three years later.

During season 10 of VPR, single Schwartz disobeyed his and Maloney’s agreement of not dating within the friend group and made out with Leviss. He also stood by his friend and business partner Sandoval's side when news of Scandoval broke in 2023.

Along with Sandoval, Schwartz is a part-owner of TomTom and Schwartz & Sandy's Lounge.

Newly single during season 10, Leviss was linked to Schwartz and Madrigal. But when news surfaced about her affair with her best friend's boyfriend, Sandoval, fans and castmates were speechless. Following the aftermath, Leviss filed a restraining order against costar Shay for allegedly punching her when she found out about the affair.

In April 2023, a rep for Leviss confirmed to PEOPLE that the reality star planned to enter a  "voluntary facility for mental health counseling."
