Get ready for some serious drama because The Valley Season 3 is about to shake things up in a big way! Former Vanderpump Rules stars Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz are officially joining the Bravo reality series as full-time cast members, and trust me, sparks are going to fly. But here’s where it gets controversial: these two aren’t just dipping their toes in—they’re diving headfirst into the chaos after making guest appearances in the first two seasons. And this is the part most people miss: their addition isn’t just about adding star power; it’s about injecting fresh dynamics into an already explosive group.
Bravo dropped the trailer for the new season, giving fans their first look at Kent and Schwartz in action. One standout moment? Schwartz pursuing newly single Michelle Saniei, whose ex-husband, Jesse Lally, is also part of the show. Talk about awkward—or is it just another day in The Valley? In one scene, Schwartz compliments Saniei with a smooth, “Michelle, you’re gorgeous,” but let’s be real: this group is no stranger to dating within their circle, and the cameras are always rolling.
Here’s where it gets even more intriguing: a follow-up scene shows co-stars Janet Caperna and Jasmine Goode egging on Schwartz and Saniei to kiss. And if that’s not enough, there’s a jaw-dropping moment in bed featuring Schwartz, Saniei, and Kent, where Kent casually suggests, “We could have a threesome tonight.” Bold? Absolutely. But it’s classic Kent—bringing humor and unpredictability to the mix.
Speaking of humor, Kent doesn’t hold back when she teases Schwartz about his business ventures with Tom Sandoval. “Wow, look at you guys… building bars and then making them go out of business,” she quips. It’s a lighthearted jab, but it also hints at the deeper struggles these stars face behind the glitz and glamour.
And this is the part that’ll make you think: The Valley isn’t just about the drama—it’s about the real-life challenges these stars navigate. Kent, for instance, is juggling motherhood to her daughters, Ocean and Sosa, while approaching her seven-year sobriety anniversary. She forms a close bond with Michelle and Tom over their shared single status and opens up about her mental health and anxiety. Controversial take? Her willingness to call out group members for bad behavior might just make her the voice of reason—or the target of backlash.
As for Schwartz, he’s on a quest to settle down, even exploring romantic possibilities within the friend group. But here’s the twist: when a promising interest emerges, his friends question the relationship’s legitimacy, creating tension. Is he really ready for commitment, or is he just chasing the wrong people? That’s the million-dollar question.
The Valley Season 3 premieres on Wednesday, April 1, at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. Whether you’re team Kent, team Schwartz, or just here for the drama, one thing’s for sure: this season is going to be a wild ride.
Now, here’s where we want to hear from you: Do you think Kent and Schwartz will bring the right kind of energy to The Valley, or will their addition cause more chaos than connection? And what’s your take on Schwartz’s dating choices—is he playing with fire, or is he finally on the right track? Drop your thoughts in the comments—let’s get this discussion started!
