“Vanderpump Rules” appears to have added another new cast member for Season 8.
Brett Caprioni, known for dating Instagram star and beauty blogger Carli Bybel in the past, was spotted at the opening credits shoot for the upcoming season, as an Instagram story from series regular Guillermo Zapata shows.
Cast member James Kennedy also posted a selfie with Caprioni, 31, Wednesday and captioned the pic, “Season 8 coming in hot.”
Bravo declined to comment.
Last month, castmate Jax Taylor told Life & Style that Caprioni recently moved to Los Angeles from New Jersey, and applied to work at SUR because he was “in need of a job.”
“He’s a YouTuber, but needed part-time money so he wanted to bartend, so I’m kind of teaching him a little about that,” Taylor, 40, said. “Believe it or not, I’m teaching him, which is kind of weird because I’m a terrible bartender. But been there 10 years and I finally get to teach people.”
This will be Caprioni’s first stint on reality TV, but he is no stranger to sharing his life with the public. The social media star has over 500,000 subscribers on YouTube, more than 100,000 followers on Instagram and frequently vlogs about his daily routines and personal life.
In May 2018, Caprioni created a video called “Starting Over,” in which he opened up about his move to the West Coast and breakup with Bybel.
“The transition has been a little harder than I anticipated as far as the things that have to go on in my life for me to keep going and get better,” he said. “Happiness is important in anything you do in life, people around you, what you do. You need to be happy.”
Caprioni dated Bybel from 2013 to late 2017, and it is unclear whether he will have a love interest on the Bravo series.
However, the YouTuber shared on July 16 that he is still single, adding, “I’m the type of guy that I’m not going to get into a relationship with somebody unless I know that it’s going to be for the long haul.”
Caprioni will reportedly be joining fellow newbies Max Boyens and Dayna Kathan.
Kathan, 29, has posted several photos with the “Vanderpump Rules” cast throughout the summer, and co-star Scheana Marie recently posted a selfie with Kathan at the opening credits shoot on her Instagram stories.
