Ariana Madix and Brittany Cartwright Friendship Update

Major life changes usually come with major friendship changes. Ariana Madix has experienced this these past two years. However, despite all this, her relationship with Brittany Cartwright is still going strong.

Typhoon Scandoval ripped through the Vanderpump Rules cast, but most friendships remained intact in one way or another. And it looks like one of those friendships is Ariana and Brittany’s relationship. The former confirmed this when she re-posted a photo of her and Brittany’s reunion in Hollywood. The two ladies saw each other while attending the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. And from what we can see, the ladies were thrilled to see one another.

Where does Ariana Madix and Brittany Cartwright’s friendship stand in 2025?

Ariana had a few bumps in the road friendship-wise. Things looked precarious for a bit with Scheana Shay, but it looks like they’ve also smoothed it over. And Ariana’s friendship with Brittany is still going strong. The two took a cute photo behind-the-scenes at the Dolby Theatre.

“It was so good to see you last night!” Brittany captioned in the Instagram story. “Been too long!”

Ariana re-shared the story tagging Brittany with a handful of heart emojis. Definitely still love between these Pump Rules alums. 

The iHeartRadio Awards show happened over a year after Brittany confirmed her split from her husband Jax Taylor. The Valley mom opened up about her separation from her former VPR castmates, including Ariana.

“Ariana’s been checking in on me from New York,” Brittany shared with The Daily Dish. Ariana was in New York during her time as Roxie Hart in Chicago. “It means a lot to me because I knew she was so busy with the show. But she’s definitely been checking in on me.”

Brittany and Jax filed for divorce in August 2024. After everything that’s happened, she has also stayed close to Scheana, Lala Kent, and Tom Schwartz.

Vanderpump Rules is available to stream on Peacock.
