Vanderpump Rules: What Happened To Laura-Leigh After Season 1

Laura-Leigh was an aspiring actress and a waitress at SUR restaurant on Vanderpump Rules season 1. She was Jax Taylor’s rebound girlfriend after his breakup with Stassi Schroeder, who was later fired, and caused a lot of drama on the show. Since her appearance on reality TV, Laura-Leigh has continued her successful acting career and lives in New York City. She is focusing on spending time with her family, boyfriend, and dog.

On Vanderpump Rules, Laura-Leigh was not well-received by the SUR friend group. At the time, she was struggling with an alcohol and drug addiction. One of Laura-Leigh’s dates with Jax involved him accompanying her to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Jax dumped her shortly after because he couldn’t handle dating someone with a lot of baggage. Laura-Leigh was caught hooking up with Jax, who called Vanderpump Rules too scripted, in the SUR bathroom during their shift and got fired. Karma eventually came back to everyone from the SUR crew. After leaving her waitressing job, Laura-Leigh booked the role of Kymberly in the movie, We’re the Millers alongside Jennifer Aniston and excitedly announced the news to Lisa.

Former Vanderpump Rules star Laura-Leigh earned many other acting credits since her time away from Bravo. She had a recurring role on the Lifetime TV series The Client List as a masseuse named Nikki Shannon in season 2. Laura-Leigh has also starred in films such as, Tooken and the crime thriller, Under the Silver Lake with Andrew Garfield. In 2019, Laura-Leigh, who worked alongside former Vanderpump Rules castmate Peter Madrigal, was in a season 10 episode of the CBS TV drama Blue Bloods playing the character of Ruby. The 31-year-old was dedicated to making her Hollywood dreams a reality, and her hard work paid off.

Arkansas native Laura-Leigh is very close with her family. Her older sister Elizabeth has two kids, making Laura-Leigh a proud aunt to her niece and nephew. She has a new boyfriend, Nate Miller, who is a Founding Member and Producing Director of a pop theater company called Lesser America. “There are “Irreplaceable’s” in life, The “once in a lifetimes” (if you’re lucky.) Thank you so much for being mine. @iamnatemiller #grateful #history #somethingsneverchange.” Laura-Leigh wrote in an Instagram post last year. Fans shared several positive comments congratulating Laura-Leigh on her relationship. They are happy to see that Nate is an upgrade from Jax, who welcomed his first child with wife Brittany Cartwright. The current NYC resident often shares sweet photos of her dog Halo on social media as well.

Laura-Leigh has been thriving since her time as a cast member on Vanderpump Rules. She enjoys being a supportive sister, aunt, dog owner, and loving girlfriend who is in a healthy relationship. The former SUR employee has a budding acting career and is living out the red carpet fantasy she always wanted. While Bravo fans miss seeing Laura-Leigh stir up drama on their screens, they will be pleased to know that she’s at a good place in her life.
