When Hulu originally introduced Us to Marciano, his biggest problem was whether he was together \u2014 or broken up \u2014 with Hannah Fouch amid their debut on Vanderpump Villa.<\/p>\n
After countless onscreen fights and an unclear relationship status, the duo returned for season 2, which is where things got messy. Marciano was single when Demi Engemann, Jen Affleck, Jessi, Layla Taylor and Mikayla Matthews from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives made appearances as guests in the season that aired in April 2025.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long for him to become smitten with Demi \u2014 who is married to Bret Engemann. While nothing happened between Marciano and Demi on the show, he leaned into speculation that there was more that took place off camera. Demi, for her part, has denied any insinuation that she had a romantic connection with Marciano.<\/p>\n
Things got even more confusing when, one month later, Marciano made a surprise appearance on season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to drop a bombshell about how it was actually Jessi \u2014 who is married to Jordan Ngatikaura \u2014 that he had an affair with when cameras weren\u2019t rolling.<\/p>\n
At the time, both Jessi and Jordan denied the infidelity on her part but she later confirmed there was a two-month emotional affair. But the actual question on everyone\u2019s mind is who exactly is Marciano and how is he this entrenched in all the reality TV drama?<\/p>\n
Luckily,\u00a0Us<\/em>\u00a0has been keeping up with Marciano\u2019s reality TV presence even before that crossover. Keep scrolling for a breakdown of what to know about the man fueling multiple affair rumors:<\/p>\n According to Hulu\u2019s official description of\u00a0Vanderpump Villa<\/em>, Marciano had \u201calmost a decade of experience in high-end hospitality\u201d before being hired by Lisa to work at Ch\u00e2teau Rosabelle in France. He then returned for season 2, which was set in Castello Rosato, where Marciano remained a lead server.<\/p>\n \u201cMarciano has worked in some of Las Vegas\u2019s biggest and busiest day and nightclubs and restaurants, and he has always leveraged his skill, good looks, and charm to rise to the top of any workplace,\u201d read the rest of the press release.<\/p>\n \u201cGrowing up in Las Vegas, I worked at all the best nightclubs. I was able to easily translate that to the restaurant business,\u201d Marciano shared on season 1 of the show, which aired in April 2024. \u201cBut at my job, they had to make a policy that you cannot sleep with any other employees because I slept with an extraordinary amount of employees.\u201d<\/p>\n When Vanderpump Villa premiered in April 2024, viewers quickly noticed how Marciano\u2019s off-and-on romance with Hannah appeared to mimic Jax and Stassi Schroeder\u2018s complicated relationship from the early days of Vanderpump Rules in 2013.<\/p>\n \u201cWorking with an ex is actually something that we\u2019re both very comfortable with because we do that here in Las Vegas right now,\u201d he told Us at the time. \u201cWe have [done that] multiple times whether we were together or not, so I wasn\u2019t worried so much about that.\u201d<\/p>\n As for his thoughts on those comparisons? \u201cI understand the resemblance but we\u2019re nothing like them,\u201d he explained. \u201cTo be honest with you, I\u2019ve said this before but I\u2019m completely different than Jax. I\u2019m not gonna say anything bad about him. I don\u2019t know Stassi, unfortunately, but I\u2019ve met Jax.\u201d<\/p>\n Besides the obvious backstory between Marciano and Lisa, he has also been close with\u00a0Scheana Shay<\/strong>\u00a0and her husband,\u00a0Brock Davies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I\u2019m actually friends with Brock and Scheana [Shay],\u201d he told\u00a0<\/p>\n Vanderpump Rules<\/em>\u00a0viewers caught a glimpse of Marciano in a March 2024 episode of the Bravo show where he witnessed Brock confronting\u00a0<\/p>\n While Marciano only spent two days with Demi on Vanderpump Villa, he walked away from the experience absolutely smitten. He was subsequently grilled by his Vanderpump Villa costars multiple times about whether he actually hooked up with one \u2014 or more \u2014 of the cast members once filming wrapped.<\/p>\n Marciano didn\u2019t rule out an ongoing connection with Demi, which she shut down. From there, Marciano took it a step further by claiming it was actually Jessi he slept with off screen.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have tried meeting up [to continue the affair],\u201d he said on season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. \u201cJordan doesn\u2019t know the truth about how extensive it was. It was not just a one-time hookup thing. It was not some one-night stand.\u201d<\/p>\n While Marciano said the situation is \u201cso much bigger\u201d than others think, Jessi\u2019s husband, Jordan, called the rumors into question.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is going to be headlines. The truth always reveals itself,\u201d Jordan said while Jessi blamed Demi for making up the claims. \u201cHe knows that this is ruining my family and my life.\u201d<\/p>\n While Marciano didn\u2019t actually get his wish, the reality star allegedly made a move on Lisa when she was still his boss.<\/p>\n \u201cYou told me in great detail in front of many people exactly what you would like to do to me and how you would like to do it,\u201d Lisa claimed during a May 2025 episode of Vanderpump Villa, adding that Marciano was severely intoxicated at the time. \u201cDo you not remember that? \u2026 I [told you I] don\u2019t have the energy or the time or inclination.\u201d<\/p>\n Marciano, for his part, seemed mortified that he couldn\u2019t remember the conversation.<\/p>\n Jeana Keough accused Shannon Beador of being \u201cmean\u201d to her for \u201cno reason,\u201d and she shared what triggered their feud. The Real Housewives of Orange County alum also gave an update on her sons Shane Keough and Colton Keough, who were featured often in early seasons.<\/p>\n Four seasons after Jeana left the show, Shannon \u2018stormed\u2019 in. For 10 years, Shannon has been open about her life, including her ex-husband David Beador\u2019s past affair. Throughout their marriage, Shannon was also honest about their marriage struggles.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know who\u2019s mean to me for no reason is Shannon Beador,\u201d said Jeana on Vicki Gunvalson\u2018s podcast, My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast. \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to be mean to me.\u201d<\/p>\n Jeana then hinted at what triggered their feud.<\/p>\n \u201cAll I said was that [it] was really stupid of [Shannon] \u2014 I told one of the girls. It wasn\u2019t even on camera \u2014 [that] it [was] really stupid for you to tell everybody [on camera that] you hadn\u2019t had sex with your husband for a year. Because he\u2019s good-looking and rich, there\u2019s girls that are gonna go after that dude.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I was right. They went after him,\u201d she continued. \u201cShe should have gone on the next episode [and said], \u2018I screwed his brains out every morning, night, and evening now.’\u201d<\/p>\n Vicki\u2019s cohost, Christian Gray Snow, added, \u201cShe should\u2019ve rolled in in a wheelchair to that confessional.\u201d<\/p>\n At one point in the episode, Jeana gave an update on her kids.<\/p>\n \u201cColton\u2019s working in Camarillo, [California] for fire insurance,\u201d said Jeana. \u201cAnd Shane\u2019s in Florida. His daughter\u2018s in Florida, so. [Colton] was there for nine months, but he came back \u2026 He just missed all his friends.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut Camarillo\u2019s not close to Orange County,\u201d said Vicki.<\/p>\n \u201cNo,\u201d said Jeana. \u201cBut it\u2019s a big job, and he couldn\u2019t say no.\u201d<\/p>\n Back in 2021, Shane shared some details about his career.<\/p>\n \u201cI live in Jacksonville, Florida. I\u2019m in real estate,\u201d said Shane on WWHL After Show, via Bravo TV. \u201cI have an environmental sustainability agency, so we focus on how to make the world a better place.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cColton\u2019s doing real estate,\u201d he added. \u201cHe works with my mom down in Irvine, so family business, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Marciano Brunette hasn\u2019t just stirred up drama on Vanderpump Villa \u2014 he is now also involved in an affair scandal with Jessi Ngatikaura on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
