Week two of Pride Month is officially off to a strong start.
Former Vanderpump Rules star and current Disrespectfully podcast co-host Dayna Kathan just shared some exciting news with fans: She’s a lesbian!
In a Pride month Instagram post, Kathan wrote “shout out to my fellow late in life lesbians!! HAPPY PRIDE!!! 🧡🤍🩷” We love to see it!
Known for her brief but memorable stint on Vanderpump Rules Season 8, Kathan quickly became a fan favorite thanks to her sharp sense of humor, confidence, and undeniable beauty—can you tell she’s a Leo?
Despite only appearing for one season, she left a lasting impression on viewers and remains one of the more beloved additions to the Bravo Universe.
Kathan first publicly came out as bisexual during her time on Vanderpump Rules, a moment that resonated with many fans. Around the same time, she also found herself tangled in one of the show’s classic relationship storylines involving TomTom general manager and cast member Max Boyens—and naturally, his ex, Scheana Shay, had opinions about it.
These days, Kathan co-hosts the Disrepectfully podcast alongside fellow former Vanderpump Rules star Katie Maloney, who identifies as sexually fluid. Maloney appeared on the reality series from Seasons 1 through 11, and was married to TomTom co-owner, Tom Schwartz, from 2016 to 2022.
The pair launched the series in 2024 as a space to talk openly about their lives, relationships, pop culture, and whatever else happens to be on their minds. The result is exactly what you’d expect from two Bravo veterans: unfiltered stories, spicy hot takes, behind-the-scenes tea, and conversations that feel like you’re on FaceTime with your closest friends.
As for Kathan’s announcement, fans flooded the comments with support, congratulations, and plenty of “I knew it” energy.
Another win for the lesbians. Let’s stay tuned for what else arises this month.
