You also got engaged since we last saw you on The Valley. Any wedding planning yet?
We are not touching wedding planning at the moment. After the baby is born, we will have more time to focus on the wedding. Thatâs been our plan from the beginning.
Have you seen the online chatter about the fact that you announced your pregnancy on the same day Bravo announced the recast of VPR? Many people are celebrating it as you âwinning.â Do you feel that way?
I had a few friends who sent me some memes, but I definitely donât view VPR being rebooted as âwinningâ anything. Iâm trying to be present and enjoy every moment of being pregnant and starting this new chapter of my life with Luke.
How do you feel about your time on the show now that the era you were a part of is ending?
It really is bittersweet. Thereâs so much that Iâm grateful for, and thereâs so much that has served as such a learning experience for me from being on that show. While I closed that door a while ago, Iâm happy that I still have such a good relationship with Bravo and all of my old producers, and that Iâm still able to have the platform that I have with The Valley so viewers can see how much Iâve grown and changed since VPR.
A lot of fans were sharing their favorite/most iconic scenes or moments from the show, and many of them involved you, naturally. What VPR moment do you think you are most known for?
Suck a Dick, Miami Girl, and healing with Ariana on the last season.
Have you connected with your former castmates since the announcement?
Of course! I think people forget that we are actually friends in real life.
Finally, whatâs your best advice for the new SUR-vers headed to VPR?
The only thing I have to say to the new SUR-vers is that you wouldnât last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.
