The Valley’ Season 3 Debuts With Jax Taylor Out as Tom Schwartz and Lala Kent Join

The cast changes signal a reset centered on Brittany Cartwright’s post‑split life under a new custody agreement.

Overview

  • The third season, which debuted Wednesday on Bravo, streams new episodes on Peacock the following day.
  • Tom Schwartz and Lala Kent join as full‑time cast members, bringing fellow Vanderpump Rules alums into the core group.
  • Original cast member Jax Taylor does not appear this season after a July 2025 decision to focus on sobriety, mental health and co‑parenting.
  • A March custody agreement gives Taylor and Cartwright joint legal and physical custody of their son, Cruz, with Cartwright primary most days and rules against substance use during care, public disparagement and early introductions to new partners.
  • Cartwright said Monday that co‑parenting is improving but difficult and that the divorce remains pending as they arrange an appraisal of the house she plans to keep.
