About The Valley:
A group of close friends as they trade bottle service in West Hollywood for baby bottles in the Valley all while they navigate bustling businesses, rocky relationships and feisty friendships.
Jax and Brittany went from clubbing every night with their friends to watching cartoons every morning with their toddler, Cruz, and they wouldn’t have it any other way. Far away from their relatives in Kentucky and Florida, Jax and Brittany call the Valley home and have made friends their family. Now married for more than four years, the couple is often the voice of reason and the glue that holds the group together.
After her last breakup, Kristen came to the realization that she was ready to have a baby and as life would have it, that’s when she met Luke at a wedding in Colorado. An outdoorsman who enjoys fishing and hunting in the Rocky Mountains, Luke is no fan of the hustle and bustle of Hollywood but has chosen to reside in the Valley to be with Kristen. This duo has a lot to juggle including starting a family, caring for three dogs, running multiple businesses, and not to mention, figuring out which state they want to call home.
Danny and Jax met on a night out in L.A. and instantly clicked when they realized they were both raised in Michigan with similar values. Deep into parenting with three children all under the age of 2, Danny and Nia find themselves busy with raising their kids, minivan shopping and figuring out just how far into the Valley they’ll move.
Having lived in the same area in West Hollywood alongside Jax, Brittany and Kristen, Janet has been friends with the three for many years and made the leap to the Valley with her husband, Jason. Recently welcoming their first child, the couple is ready to begin their lives as first-time parents.
Jesse has been friends with Jax since the two lived and modeled together in New York. Now, Jesse and his wife Michelle have a 3-year-old daughter and are a team of luxury real estate brokers in L.A. They’re discovering that a fast-paced lifestyle can be a challenge to balance alongside marriage and parenthood.
A former SURver, Jasmine is settling into her next chapter of life after her time as an NFL cheerleader and a member of the Bachelor Nation. Now she’s working to get her real estate career off the ground under Michelle’s mentorship. Although she isn’t looking to have kids at this moment, she’s hoping for a family someday with her girlfriend Melissa.
Brittany’s best friend from college, Zack is a gym-goer who loves partying and dancing the night away in the West Hollywood scene. As the only single member in the group, Zack is its de facto confidant and often the only mediator between different gossiping factions.

Michelle...i don't get good vibes from her at all. The reason is, she's more sneaky and secretive and manipulative, Jesse is just a jerk but he's upfront and don't hide his jerk behavior.

[@dianacooper-havlik4115]

Agreed

[@Roz-y2d]

Yep, there’s something not making sense.

[@poisonivyheart6621]

I agree!

[@nicolemoore3275]

Same, she has a mean spirit, especially when it comes to Jessie.

[@shabee960]

The flashback of Kristen hahahaha I’m dying. She is reality TV gold. And I am fully on board with Danny and Nia, love their story and she’s SO BEAUTIFUL

[@texasinkedgrandma5366]

Nia comes off authentic and blessed 💕

[@SUEDUCE]

I’m getting tired of the group of ladies constantly bullying Kristen. Really disappointed in Brittney she says she is Kristen friend, than why the faces and tag along the mean girl vibe?

[@jangles8061]

Could just be a shady editor? I know what you mean though about them bullying Kristen... I can't work out if Kristen is just a glutton for punishment the way she always scapegoats herself.. Or if she's savvy in the stirring up drama dept - ie doing her job?!

[@Roz-y2d]

Brittney has always been shady. I’ve never liked her.

[@laurac9857]

Yeah I haven't seen Brittany stand up for her friend once. So sad.

[@luvrandfighter]

to me, it's more of the vibe of Kristen making the conversation about how much of an empath she is rather than the actual prompt which was what intentions you're setting. What does peace have to do with how much of an empath you are? it was just slightly narcissistic in my opinion. i found myself eyerolling too

[@dee7106]

@@Roz-y2dright me too!!! I never thought she was thus good sweet girl lol nope

[@lorir5728]

We all love crazy Kristen. She's been yelling and crying from day one on tv. She's an icon.

[@blumaroo]

Kristen makes me laugh and is entertaining, have to like her. Brittany is realizing the mistake in pandering to men and is being super catty to Kristen. Kristen has always rode hard for her. Nia seems sweet, neutral on Jasmine, Michelle and Janet are snakes, Janet is just more sly about it.

[@bsota8513]

Kristen is entertaining.

[@Amanda-iz8hq]

I can't stand Michelle. I've always been quick to defend the ones who are quiet and not confrontational when they're being put in a corner but also defend myself. If Michelle moved as fast as she did towards Kristen, towards me? B would of been on the ground real fast. These people in LA are a weird breed of entitled. Come out here to the south and that BS is not tolerated. There's just something so arrogant about her that really rubs me the wrong way.

[@Rosiepoohtargaryen]

Oh, Luke, please don't stoop down to their level. If you know a secret about their marriage, keep it to yourself.

[@Tryssfg]

This is what tv is for lol we don’t want well behaved adults

[@traumaqueeen]

We are all team Kristen at this point.

[@bexiexz]

honestly yeaa

[@uniquelybronze]

Right

[@MvL69]

Speak for yourself

[@karynsuepohlmeier2109]

I LOVE Kristen! She beats all the other women on there.

[@bexiexz]

@@karynsuepohlmeier2109 yeep!

[@deadeyes4626]

People who label themselves as an ‘empath’ are 💯1️⃣🫠

[@nahhhbruhhh]

I hate that kristen is getting stuff that they’re all clearly repeating… why is it only on her?

[@allishaw__]

Luke is almost as messy as Kristen 😂

[@Amanda-iz8hq]

Right? I'm so here for it though. It's finally nice to see her be with someone that's ready to fight for her. I wish Katie had the same thing.

[@NunyaBiznes-vs1gy]

Anybody bragging about bring an empath..isn't an empath.

[@mrswhite645]

It's become a way for some people to disguise trauma responses

[@Roz-y2d]

🤣😂😅

[@dawnortz4820]

💯 it’s so hard to be an empath😅

[@hilariecalijo4643]

Exactly. She is not an empath

[@Amanda-iz8hq]

yo I'm, I'm I- an empath, this conversation is making me overwhelmed. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@HopeS68]

Britney, you never got back what youve given Jax, ever hun.

[@johnpinegar8027]

Team Kristen. The end. 😊

[@mazwide9400]

I love her.😊

[@SUEDUCE]

Me too

[@luvtoyscollector3373]

Sounds like Michelle cheated on her husband & poor Nia has Postpartum depression 🤔

[@ryannapravnik3560]

Kristen getting confused between empath and sociopath.

[@dawnortz4820]

Beautifully said her idea of an empath is definitely as sociopath😮

[@Amanda-iz8hq]

omg stop it. hahaha.

[@angijoens]

Bc kir is a psycho

[@tracywilliams7523]

3:20 lmaoooooo bravo not being shady but being a whole tree 😂😂

[@Enzome12.]

If you say you are an empath then you are most definitely not one.

[@Amanda-iz8hq]

I'm thinking someone told her that and Kristen ran with it. Kristen has been working on herself for a few years and I think she's searching for answers in the wrong places to why she reacts and how she is. I love Kristen nonetheless.

[@miningho5913]

The world ♥️♥️ Kristen we love you girl Always been a fan of her ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hope she gets a higher income ♥️ Kristen all the way

[@missfigs5255]

Kristen is an empath??? Sure, Jan. When you can actually feel how people are feeling, it is overwhelming. You become very overstimulated very easily because you can literally feel the energy of those around you. My opinion is that most people who tell everyone they are an empath are not. I find a lot of people confuse empathy and being an empath - they are not the same. I do think Kristen is being bullied and thrown under the bus but at the same time she needs to stop involving herself in things that do not pertain to her.

[@karynsuepohlmeier2109]

Can't stand Jesse, Michelle, Janet or Brittany. And btw, what is wrong with Brittany's mouth.

[@moonfirepz]

B run girl run💃🏽

[@FlowerGrl20]

Def being an empath is draining…. Kristen isn’t one.

[@shaunamarie1053]

Is Tarantino the director?

[@Rosiepoohtargaryen]

Also Britney all that alcohol you drink can mess with your emotions as well. Its not a turn on to come home wasted every weekend. Your husband also expressed the weight gain was putting him off too so what about asking him for workout tips or healthy eating tips. I myself lost 21 pounds last year by changing my eating and increasing cardio. I haven't gained anything back. Good luck

[@thatgirlPAIGE94]

Kristen, Kristen, Kristen… bwaaahahahahahahhahahahhahaaaaaaa

[@ee930]

Kristen's face is jacked, they need to lay off all the botox and fillers and whatever. They are looking alien like

[@Roz-y2d]

Especially Brittney!

[@Amanda-iz8hq]

Uh....Kristen had an accident and fractured her face.....it's not botox or fillers. Jesus : /

[@ee930]

@Amanda-iz8hq you cant seriously be saying she doesnt have any botox or fillers, come on now. She's been getting that stuff long before any accident, it makes faces look off.

[@Confidentk9sCa]

Just started watching this show and can’t believe how much Britney stands up for Jax who keeps purposely bringing scripted chaos to the show. Have your own personality Britney or you’re going to end up having a personality like Jax, though looks like it’s too late. It’s hard to watch so many women change into their husbands, especially when they’re so immature and nasty. Just watched her stand up for Jax inviting Kirsten’s ex Alex to Luke’s first putting with the guys. Clearly Jax did that just so there could be confrontations, chaos and drama for the show. Jax is obviously just boring without causing drama. Then when Kirsten gets upset as Britney would’ve been if her ex got invited to anything, she pretends it’s a wonderful and normal thing that Jax is doing, trying to bring people together. Why does Britney feel the constant need to push her opinions on people? She did similar by excusing Jax pulling down their friend’s shorts and excused his actions to the upset and pregnant wife repeatedly. The girl is definitely still a girl and becoming a lot like Ajax, boring AF. They both talk out of their bums. 🤮 Those poor kids of theirs are going to seriously struggle in life.

[@carriekay4827]

Michelle just looks like a liar when she gives her stink face... Kristin does tell truths so Michelle was a stupid to alienate her... Janet is not who I thought she was...she is so sweet on Scheana's channel... Jesse needs to apologize to both Kristin and Luke... Michelle needs to own her shit/give Kristin props for holding on to her secrets for so long...

[@_SweetB_]

🤨 nothing Kristen says ever makes sense bc it never ever matches her actions.

[@skythdicnri88]

Surprised about Jax? Cause im not.

[@truthdogschell8473]

Brittany is such a beautiful person inside and out. I just love her.❤

[@karencollier7622]

I'm having a hard time watching Jason new face..how bizarre looking

[@jangles8061]

No way!! I think he is gwargeous!! 🥰

[@poisonivyheart6621]

New face? Which one is Jason ?

[@Ennui83]

@@poisonivyheart6621 There are two Jasons on the show. Jason Caperna is Janet's (the pregnant one's) husband. Based on the "new face" comment, I think this is referencing Jason Cauchi (a.k.a. Jax), Brittney's husband.

[@sniperkxtty]

not to be mean but why is brittney's mouth always like this noow: D: .. did she get something done?

[@robertwalker9670]

Well, this didnt age well for Jesse.

[@jacquelinewilson2279]

These guys sound like Pimps. YUK

[@tanyagarrett8325]

You know what I have a hard time with. These leeches making money off Tom Sandavol

[@cherylmartin5029]

I love Brittany

[@ivyrosenauer5663]

They’re basically bullying Kristen and this Jesse man has server anger issues.
