The fans of Hulu’s ‘Vanderpump Villa‘ have eagerly followed the rollercoaster romance between Andre Mitchell and Gabriella Sanon ever since they first met in season 1 in 2024. Despite their budding relationship, the challenges of long distance soon became the reason they decided to go their separate ways. However, in season 2, they met again as they both agreed to return to the show, and it slowly began to bring their old emotions to the surface. With more maturity, they found themselves exploring their connection once again, thinking it could be their second chance at love.
Andre and Gabriella’s Relationship Stemmed From Genuine Emotions
From the moment Andre Mitchell and Gabriella Sanon reunited at the castle, it was clear that sparks were still flickering beneath the surface. He even confessed to Gabriella that he wanted to pursue a relationship with her. However, she was cautious and not ready to jump back in. This made Andre feel quite vulnerable, so he turned to Lisa Vanderpump for advice, who encouraged him to open up to her fully. He eventually gathered the courage to do so and poured his heart out to Gabriella, expressing just how much he cared for her. His sincerity led to a shift between them 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 easy. As time passed, she began questioning whether he was putting in enough effort and kept wondering if their relationship was worth continuing.
Andre and Gabriella Decided Not to Pursue Their Romance Further
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.
Yet, Andre and Gabriella amicably agreed to go their separate ways rather than continuing a connection that no longer felt right. Despite their emotional goodbye, Gabriella revealed that moving forward, she hoped to maintain a cordial relationship with him and wished that he would understand her perspective. As of writing, it appears as if the reality stars have continued 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 position at Aldo Group in August 2017, only to then start working as the Regional Sales Marketing Manager at BeatBox Beverages, LLC in June of the same year. Andre excelled in this role and honed his skills here until March 2018. Over the years, he further took on multiple responsibilities across a range of companies, including as a Business Development Manager at Office Depot and a Home Remodelling Consultant at Power Home Remodelling.
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 before ultimately closing 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 the shift from the corporate world to reality TV, making his debut as a Bartender/Mixologist in ‘Vanderpump Villa.’ As for his personal life, Andre’s heart still truly belongs to his six-year-old son, Dream. Whether it be playing games with him at home or heading out together for shopping adventures, 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 who Loves Travelling Around the World
Long before her appearance on the show, Gabriella Sanon set out to build 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. During this time, in August 2017, she also took a leap by enrolling at Barry University to pursue her Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing. The reality star continued to grow both academically and professionally in the years to pass before adding another role to her resume in September 2020 when she 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. She still held this position when she graduated with her degree in May 2022.
May 2022 is also when Gabriella joined Byblos Miami, first as a Restaurant Manager and then swiftly rising to become the Director of Events and Marketing Coordinator. Gradually, though, in March 2025, she chose to close these important chapters of her life so as to expand her wings. By the time she said goodbye to these titles, 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. Her achievements over the years and overall career trajectory are quite remarkable.
Gabriella also conducted her first wellness event in February 2025 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.
