Jax Taylor Celebrates Return To Vanderpump Rules

After a season that earned multiple Emmy nominations, Vanderpump Rules returns next month for Season 11.

Season 10 made major headlines after Tom Sandoval was outed for cheating on longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with co-star Raquel (Rachel) Leviss.

Leviss isn’t returning for the new season, but a familiar face is.

Jax Taylor will return for Season 11. The former SUR bartender and his wife, Brittany Cartwright, didn’t return for Season 9 of the show.

Despite falling out with bestie Tom Sandoval, Taylor returns to support him after the scandal. However, it’s not their first reunion since their falling out. Sandoval made an appearance at Jax Taylor’s new Studio City hotspot.

Jax Taylor shared a dapper photo of himself on social media with the caption “Good to be back…..” to celebrate his return to where it all began.

Several followers thought the photo was AI-generated, while others suspected it was an old modeling photo.

Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules premieres on Bravo on Tuesday, January 30, at 8 PM Eastern. Episodes will be available to stream on Peacock the next day.
