Ariana Madix<\/strong><\/a> and Scheana Shay<\/strong><\/a> once had one of the strongest friendships within their Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a> crew, but their bond, which fans once knew and loved, isn\u2019t the same. The reality stars haven\u2019t played a huge role in each other\u2019s lives after the Vanderpump Rules<\/em> season 10 reunion in March 2023, leading fans to wonder if Ariana and Scheana are still friends. Life & Style<\/em> explains where the pair\u2019s friendship<\/a> stands today.<\/p>\n Ariana went through a highly publicized breakup with ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval<\/strong> in March 2023. The pair ended their nine-year relationship after Ariana found out that he was having an affair with their Vanderpump Rules<\/em> costar Rachel Leviss<\/strong>.<\/p>\n During her heartbreak, Scheana was by her side. The pair even starred in an Uber One commercial alongside VPR<\/em> costar Lala Kent<\/strong> in May 2024. After opportunities presented themselves to Ariana, such as joining Dancing With the Stars<\/em> and becoming the new host of Love Island USA<\/em>, Scheana\u2019s attitude toward her shifted.<\/p>\n During season 11, Scheana started to entertain the idea of rekindling her friendship with Tom. By the time the finale rolled around, Ariana and Scheana had a heated argument over it.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m seeing that genuine side of him that I\u2019ve loved for 15 years that has been a good friend to me,\u201d Scheana told Ariana. \u201cAnd I\u2019m hoping he\u2019s changing and becoming better.\u201d<\/p>\n Ariana Madix and Scheana Shay.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n After walking away, the Broadway star said in a confessional, \u201cIt\u2019s just the same thing over and over, Scheana. I don\u2019t know why she thinks that somehow she knows this man better than I do, but alright, girl. Happy for ya.\u201d<\/p>\n Ariana appeared on Watch What Happens Live<\/em> one month after the finale aired in June 2024, and told Andy Cohen<\/strong> she was \u201churt\u201d by Scheana\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n \u201cDuring the time of filming, I was definitely not aware of some of the things that were being said behind my back, and I love Scheana, but a lot of things that she said were very hurtful,\u201d Ariana shared at the time. \u201cSpecifically, it\u2019s hard to pinpoint something. It\u2019s kind of this general attitude towards me that\u2019s been pretty hurtful.\u201d<\/p>\n In March 2025, Scheana opened up about her feelings toward Ariana.<\/p>\n \u201cWe talk here and there. I think no matter what, Ariana and I are always going to have such a deep love for each other,\u201d the Masked Singer<\/em> alum said during the March 7, 2025, episode of her \u201cScheananigans\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n Scheana hoped Ariana would read her memoir, My Good Side<\/em>, which is set to be released in July 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe has a better understanding for some of my actions over the past couple of years and understands a little more about my mental state and what I was going through,\u201d Scheana continued on the podcast. \u201cI write about everything up until a few months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n In April 2025, Scheana revealed that she spent \u201cthe most time\u201d with Ariana in a while during a mutual friend\u2019s birthday party.<\/p>\n The following month, Bustle<\/em> inquired about Ariana\u2019s friendships with her former Vanderpump Rules<\/em> costars.<\/p>\n Ariana deemed Katie Maloney<\/strong> and Dayna Kathan<\/strong> as her everyday best friends. While referring to Scheana, Ariana told the outlet, \u201cScheana and I will say hi every now and again. It\u2019s about to be her birthday, so we\u2019ll check in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhy Did Ariana Madix and Scheana Shay\u2019s Friendship Crumble?<\/h2>\n
