Bravo has been bringing the drama for over 10 years of reality TV. Thanks to these shows, we have seen some unforgettable hookups. We have witnessed a rollercoaster of emotions from these castmembers. While some of the hookups flamed out pretty quickly, others lasted longer than many expected. We are looking back now at some of the wildest Bravo star hookups from over the years that left fans shocked.
1. Ariana Madix & Tom Sandoval
GettyOne of the most talked-about Bravo hookups had to be from “Vanderpump Rules,” and the relationship between Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval. The pair had a long-term thing going on, but then it all spiraled out of control when Sandoval had an affair with fellow castmate Raquel Leviss.
This story was everywhere. From reunion specials to social media chatter, everyone was talking about it. We saw emotional confrontations and major fallouts among friends. While this wasn’t just some casual “hookup,” it was still a scandal that rocked the Bravo-verse.
2. Tom Schwartz & Kristen Doute
GettyWe are staying with the “Vanderpump Rules” cast. The early seasons of the show introduced us to Tom Schwartz and Kristen Doute. This relationship had everything we needed to make Bravo gold: drama, getting back together, jealousy, and late-night fights.
During the first few seasons of the show, their relationship was a huge part of the storyline. They did eventually split for good, but their chemistry and drama helped define the early era of the show.
3. Julia Lemigova & Adriana de Moura
Could you believe this moment? It was the season 7 reunion special for the “Real Housewives of Miami,” and Julia Lemigova dropped a bomb! She claimed the rift she was having in her friendship with Adriana de Moura was because they slept together during a cast trip to the Hamptons in 2021.
I mean, besides the audible gasps you could hear from the cast and the audience, there was major drama from this moment. Adriana denied the claims, saying Julia was lying.
4. GG’s Secret Hookups
Not just one hookup here, but a few! “Shahs of Sunset” alum Mercedes “MJ” Javid went on “Jeff Lewis Live” and claimed her co-star, Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi, allegedly had several hookups with Bravo personalities, which included:
- Shep Rose (“Southern Charm”): GG addressed this claim, admitting they had a “little bit of a thing” around BravoCon 2023.
- Captain Jason Chambers (“Below Deck Down Under”): GG denied this one, saying they were just close friends and he was involved with her best friend.
- Jax Taylor (“Vanderpump Rules”): GG also confirmed this one, stating they hooked up “a long time ago,” around his season 2 after his breakup with Stassi Schroeder.
After the allegations came out, GG fired back on social media, hinting that MJ was having marital problems, so all of this was just her projecting onto GG.
5. Erika Jayne & Jesse Solomon
Sometimes it’s just the rumors and the cast reactions that can set something off in the Bravo-verse. That’s what happened between “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne and “Summer House” cast member Jesse Solomon.
They both appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” in May 2025. The rumors started that they hooked up at that time. Eventually, Erika admitted that they were “very flirtatious,” but denied that a full hookup occurred.
We’re sure there are plenty more, but what do you think are the wildest Bravo hookups to ever happen?
Schwartz and Doute didn’t go together, it Was Tom Sandoval and Kristen were a couple before she cheated with Jax and Sandoval began dating Ariana
