The “Vanderpump Villa” alum and the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star kept their arms around each other as they posed for pics.
Draper and Brunette were involved in a cheating scandal while she was still with her now-estranged husband, Jordan Ngatikaura. Draper and Brunette met in 2024, when the “TSLOMW” cast traveled to Italy to appear in season 2 of “Vanderpump Villa.” Brunette worked as a lead server at Bravo star Lisa Vanderpump’s French countryside estate, Chateau Rosabelle.
During the Season 2 finale of “TSLOMW,” Brunette revealed on camera that he and Draper had an affair.
While Draper described it in Season 3 as more of an emotional connection, she did confess that they kissed — though never hooked up.
An insider told Page Six in November 2025 that Draper and Ngatikaura were still trying to make their marriage work following the drama, but he ended up filing for divorce in March after five years of marriage.

The exes share two children together — son Jagger, 6, and daughter Jovi, 3 — and he also has a 13-year-old daughter, Peyton, from a previous relationship.
After Ngatikaura filed for divorce, the split got nasty. Draper appeared on “Call Her Daddy” in March, and claimed she had “proof and screenshots” showing her ex had hired escorts while they were married.
She also speculated that Ngatikaura, 28, attended “orgies or sex parties,” saying her sister was told by someone who goes that he was “always there.”
Draper shared thst the allegations were the “final straw” for her, and that she broke up with him on March 13. She claimed he then “blindsided” her by filing for divorce six days later before they’d shared the news with their children.

Ngatikaura said filing for divorce was “not an easy decision” in a statement to TMZ.
“While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition,” he said.
“I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect. I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this as a family,” he concluded.
