The season 3 finale of “The Valley” ended with friendships falling apart, relationships being tested and plenty of unresolved drama heading into the reunion. While some cast members have started repairing fractured relationships, others admit they’re still not speaking.
Kristen Doute & Luke Broderick
Kristen Doute’s friendship with Brittany Cartwright appeared beyond repair during the finale after the two clashed over comments involving Nia Sanchez Booko and Zack Wickham. But things have improved since filming wrapped.
Luke Broderick told Bravo Insider that he and Kristen regularly spend time at Brittany’s house and said he’s “in good standing with everybody.”
The couple is also focused on raising daughter Kaia, who turned one in June. Luke joked that she’s already learned how to get her way with Kristen and confirmed the family plans to stay in their current rental home for at least another year before eventually moving.
Kristen also shared on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” that the postpartum struggles viewers saw throughout season 3 have eased.
“It is night and day with the way that I feel,” she said.
Professionally, Luke recently launched his “Unsupervised Dad” YouTube channel, while Kristen continues running her James Mae clothing brand.

Brittany left the finale at odds with Zack, Kristen and Nia, but social media suggests at least two of those friendships have recovered.
She recently reunited with Zack and Kristen while celebrating Jasmine Goode’s wedding, while her friendship with Janet Caperna also appears to remain strong.
Romantically, Brittany is single following her brief relationship with Brandon Hanson.
“I’m focusing on myself,” she said on her “When Reality Hits” podcast. “I’ve got some crushes and stuff like that, but nothing serious yet.”
She’s also focused on raising son Cruz and supporting his therapy journey.
“I’m in such a great place,” she added.
Michelle Saniei & Jesse Lally
Although Michelle Saniei and Jesse Lally spent much of season 3 navigating their divorce, both say co-parenting daughter Isabella remains their priority.
“We’ve come a long way,” Michelle told Bravo Insider. “We try to always make sure that Isabella is our number one priority.”
Michelle confirmed she no longer communicates with Jesse unless it involves their daughter and has since moved on with Dr. Dre after ending her relationship with comedian Max Amini.
She also said she’s become close friends with Lala Kent while continuing to grow her real estate business.
Jesse, meanwhile, continues focusing on Isabella while balancing his relationship with Lacy. During the finale, he said he could envision marrying Lacy, although she admitted she’s happy with their relationship exactly as it is.
Nia Sanchez Booko & Danny Booko
“Feels like we’re not welcome here.”

Season 3 documented one of the most difficult periods in Nia and Danny Booko’s marriage as they navigated life with four young children after welcoming daughter Adelaide.
Nia later revealed the couple sought marriage counseling after filming ended.
“We’re good. We love each other. Life is good now,” she told Bravo Insider.
She said therapy and rewatching the season together helped strengthen their communication.
While their marriage is back on track, both remain finished with Janet, Jason and Lala following the finale.
“I’m not interested anymore,” Nia said.
Danny added, “Done.”
Janet Caperna & Jason Caperna
#TheValley After Show! Janet doubles down on throwing a drink on Danny, saying she has no regrets except that she wishes it had been red wine.
What I found interesting is that her friend Lala said she was angry with Janet for throwing the drink, saying, “I don’t give a f—k what… pic.twitter.com/k3h7xu3HuA

Janet made it clear that she still isn’t speaking to Nia, Danny, Kristen or Luke, although she believes she could eventually become cordial with Kristen and Zack.
Instead, she said she talks with Brittany, Michelle and Lala every day.
Away from the drama, Janet and Jason are enjoying life with son Cameron while beginning the search for a larger home.
The couple also hopes to expand their family in the future.
Professionally, Janet continues sharing family recipes online with hopes of releasing a cookbook, while Jason remains focused on his legal career.
Zack Wickham
Zack is looking ahead with boyfriend Benji Quach after the couple recently moved in together.
“We are going to give each other the grace and the space to talk out these really life-changing decisions,” Zack said while discussing future plans for marriage and children.
He said they’re continuing to explore both surrogacy and adoption.
His friendship with Janet remains strained after the finale, and the reunion trailer suggests his issues with Brittany are far from over.
Jasmine Goode
Jasmine and Melissa Carelli tied the knot in New Jersey in June, with much of the cast attending the celebration despite the lingering drama from season 3.
“I think I’m in an OK place with everybody,” Jasmine told Bravo Insider.
The newlyweds are now planning their honeymoon, while Jasmine said starting a family is hopefully next.
Tom Schwartz
Tom Schwartz said his relationship with girlfriend Kiana Carroll continues to grow.
“I’m so in love,” he said on “The Valley After Show.”
Schwartz revealed they’ve met each other’s families and hopes they eventually move in together, buy a home and possibly start a family.
He also continues hosting his podcast, “Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz.”
Lala Kent
Lala entered the finale hoping to repair her friendship with Nia, but acknowledged her conflict with Danny complicated matters.
“The problem is, how do you get close with someone who doesn’t get along with your husband?” she said in a confessional.
Outside the group drama, Lala remains focused on raising daughters Ocean and Sosa while hosting three podcasts: “Untraditionally Lala,” “Sex Unlocked” and “An Unlikely Affair.” She has also said she’s open to finding love again and would consider having a third child in the future.
