The fans of Hulu’s ‘Vanderpump Villa‘ eagerly followed the rollercoaster romance between Andre Mitchell and Gabriella Sanon ever since they first met in season 1 in 2024. Despite rooting for their budding relationship, the challenges of long distance became the reason they decided to go their separate ways. In season 2, they were again introduced as the returning cast members, and their reunion slowly began to resurface their old emotions. With more maturity and a second chance at love, they found themselves once again exploring their connection. However, the path to love did not come easily since Andre struggled to express himself.
Andre and Gabriella’s Relationship Was Based on Rekindled Feelings
From the moment Andre Mitchell and Gabriella Sanon reunited at the castle, it was clear that sparks were still flickering beneath the surface. He confessed to Gabriella that he still wanted to pursue a relationship with her. However, she was cautious and still not ready to jump back in. This made Andre very vulnerable, and he turned to Lisa Vanderpump for advice, who encouraged him to open up fully before her. He finally gathered his courage and poured his heart out to Gabriella, sharing how much he cared for her. His honesty created a shift for the first time since the reunion, and she allowed herself to lean into those familiar feelings. However, their journey did not prove to be very easy. As time passed, she began to question whether he was putting in enough effort and kept wondering if their relationship was worth continuing.
Andre and Gabriella Decided Not to Pursue Their Relationship in the End
As the season came to a close, Gabriella finally found the clarity that she had been searching for. During one of the staff’s final outings, she sat down with Andre for a heartfelt conversation. She expressed that, although she cared for him deeply, she did not believe it was right for them to continue their relationship romantically. Andre became quite emotional since he had shown vulnerability throughout their time together this season, and stated that it was not the ending he had hoped for.
However, Andre and Gabriella agreed to go their separate ways rather than continuing a connection that no longer felt right. Despite their emotional goodbye, Gabriella had revealed that moving forward, she hoped to maintain a cordial relationship with him and wished that he would understand her perspective. As of writing, the reality stars continue to maintain a decent relationship between them, which is quite visible from the fact that they still follow each other on Instagram.
Andre Was a Territory Manager Before Entering the Entertainment Industry
Andre Mitchell earned his degree in Business Management, Marketing, and Mass Communication from Texas State University in 2016. However, his professional journey commenced when he joined as a Stock Manager at Aldo Group in September 2015. He started juggling this job with his role as a Logistics Account Executive at Total Quality Logistics in January 2016 and worked there until February 2017. The reality star moved on from his role at Aldo Group in August 2017, but he started working as the Regional Sales Marketing Manager at BeatBox Beverages, LLC in June of the same year. Andre excelled in this role and further honed his marketing skills until March 2018. Over the years, he further embarked on multiple positions, serving as a Business Development Manager and a Home Remodelling Consultant.
However, Andre’s passion eventually led him to a significant milestone in July 2021, when he secured a full-time role as a Territory Manager at ServiceTitan. In this position, he flourished for more than three years and ultimately closed the chapter in August 2024. The reality star also worked part-time as a Mentee with US In Technology from June 2021 to September 2024. In April of the same year, he made a shift from the corporate world to reality TV, making his debut as a Bartender/Mixologist in ‘Vanderpump Villa.’ In his personal life, Andre’s heart belongs to his six-year-old son, Dream. Whether it be playing games at home or heading out for a shopping adventure, he has embraced fatherhood with open arms. He also shares a deep bond with his mother and often openly expresses his love for her before his fans.
Gabriella is an Events Manager and Loves Travelling Around the World
Long before her appearance on the show, Gabriella Sanon built an incredible career for herself. It began in September 2016 as a Brand Representative for Hollister Co., where she worked for more than 4 years until January 2021. In August 2017, she took a major leap by enrolling at Barry University to pursue her Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing. The reality star continued to grow both academically and professionally. Finally, in September 2020, she added another role to her resume and joined Omakai Sushi as a Hostess. She quickly started making an impact, and by January 2021, she had transitioned into a Managerial role at the establishment and finally graduated in May 2022.
Besides her role as Manager, Gabriella also joined Byblos Miami in May 2022, first as a Restaurant Manager and then swiftly rising to become the Director of Events and Marketing Coordinator. Gradually, by March 2025, she chose to close those important chapters. Before leaving behind these positions, the reality star had already stepped into the new and exciting role of Sales and Events Manager at INK Entertainment Group in February 2025. Within a short time, Gabriella started orchestrating several events, among which was an elegant afternoon high tea in April at Amal Miami in collaboration with the brand Montce Swim, which remains quite remarkable.
Gabriella also conducted her first wellness event in February and excitedly shared this milestone with her followers on Instagram. For her, friendship is a sacred bond, and she often proudly writes, “My biggest flex: my friends.” When the reality star is not immersed in work, she often indulges herself in traveling to several stunning locations. Some of Gabriella’s most notable trips include the crystal clear waters of Saint Lucia, Caribbean, in July 2023, which was followed by her beautiful trip to Croatia in October 2024.
