<p id=”par-1_58″>It’s been a huge week for <em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/vanderpump-rules/?swcfpc=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Vanderpump Rules</a></em> fans. Bravo declared a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/vanderpump-rules-gets-reboot-new-cast-day-after-tom-schwartz-tom-sandoval-schwartz-sandys-closure.html/”>cast overhaul for season 12</a> of the beloved reality show. Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz announced they’re closing Schwartz & Sandy’s at the end of 2024. And Ariana Madix continues to rise above it all — this time via the biggest Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade ever.</p>

<p id=”par-2_66″>On November 26, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ariana-madix-1-million-post-scandoval-rhonys-eboni-k-williams-explains-tom-sandoval-dime.html/”>Madix was spotted</a> at day two of rehearsals for America’s favorite Thanksgiving tradition. Wearing a fluffy tan coat with black accents, the 39-year-old beamed between takes at Macy’s Herald Square. The belted jacket looked perfectly festive with black pants, chocolate leather gloves, and white knee-high boots. Madix wore her signature blonde hair in a fluffy blowout as she prepared for the parade. </p>

<p id=”par-3_56″>The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/lisa-vanderpump-reaction-scandoval-brutal.html/”>longtime <em>VPR</em> cast member</a> isn’t performing during the event. She’ll likely be waving at spectators from a float instead of singing alongside Kylie Minogue and T-Pain, reports <a href=”https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/celebrities-2024-macys-thanksgiving-day-parade” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>NBC</a>. Madix is celebrating an extremely successful year of <em>Love Island</em> hosting duties, well-paying brand partnerships, and a starring role as Roxie Hart in the Broadway musical <em>Chicago</em>.</p>

<p id=”par-4_75″>As <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ariana-madix-glows-shoe-dsw-launch-vpr-reunion-looms.html/”>Madix sees seemingly endless possibilities</a> in her future, her <em>Vanderpump Rules</em> castmates face the end of an era. Amid rumored contract disputes, fans questioned whether the show was capable of returning. Now it will, with no former cast members involved. On Tuesday, reports <a href=”https://people.com/vanderpump-rules-being-rebooted-returning-for-season-12-with-new-cast-8752095″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a>, Bravo’s announcement promised a completely new group of “close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors.” As of publication, no names have been revealed.</p>

<p id=”par-5_79″>One day before the cast announcement, Sandoval and Schwartz posted <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DCzbloSx6Td/?img_index=1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a> statements regarding the end of their LA bar, Schwartz and Sandy’s. The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/vanderpump-rules-tom-sandoval-opens-up-about-affair-and-describes-kissing-raquel-leviss-as-magnetic.html/”>former Tom explained</a> that “other priorities and commitments have taken hold,” while Schwartz divulged that he has “peace in knowing I gave my absolute all to S&S.” The pair expressed that they’d like to host more events before the end of 2024, likely to eke out more money before the beleaguered bar shuts down for good.</p>

<p id=”par-6_98″>What’s next for the legacy <em>VPR</em> cast members? Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, and Shay’s husband Brock Davies will likely reprise their <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/meet-the-valley-cast-bravo-vanderpump-rules-spinoff.html/”>roles on<em> VPR</em> spinoff <em>The Valley</em>,</a> perhaps becoming full-time cast members for season 2. Schwartz filmed a cameo on <em>Summer House</em>, and Sandoval will appear on season 3 of<em> The Traitors</em>. Katie Maloney launched her <em>Disrespectfully</em> podcast in 2024. She’s also focused on the continued success of her sandwich shop Something About Her, which she co-owns with Madix. Although fans’ reactions have been mixed, the cast seems set up for some success in their respective adult lives.</p>
