Vanderpump Rules mainstay Jax Taylor stars in The Valley as one of its notable cast members.
Jax and his wife, Brittany Cartwright, have a two-year-old son, Cruz, and their parenthood is expected to be one of the main focuses of the reality series.

Still, Brittany (via US Magazine) said that she is "taking things one day at a time" and is focusing on "being the best mom to Cruz."
The Valley's official synopsis teased that Brittany is still struggling to maintain her self-confidence while also trying to fix her marriage with Jax.

One of the stars joining The Valley's ensemble is Kristen Doute.
Kristen and her boyfriend, Luke, moved in together with hopes of starting a family despite being in a long-distance relationship. This is on top of the responsibility of caring for their three dogs and running multiple businesses.
In Episode 1 of The Valley, Kristen gave an update about her life, saying that she now owns a "really beautiful home in Valley Village for two and a half years."
Kristen also explained her plan to start a family with Luke, pointing out the fact that she's insecure about her friends entering marriage and parenthood:
“Watching all of my friends over the past few years get married, have babies and grow their families, [I started thinking], ‘S–t, I am the oldest girl in this group. When is my time?’ We have been kind of doing this long-distance thing, but he decided he is going to spend the summer in the Valley with me because we are going to try to have a baby.”
However, Jax appeared to be concerned about Kristen's desire to start a family.

Luke acknowledged Jax's concern, but he still protected Kristen by saying that he trusts her decision:
“We both have the same mindset that we are giving this kid the best life we can no matter what. That is more important to me than a ring and a wedding.”
