Jeremy told exclusively We weekly Earlier this year, he said his love for Rachael was the reason he no longer had contact with his sister Ariana.

“Why I didn't talk to my sister and why I didn't talk to Scandoval are two completely different things,” he said on March 29. “I just want to make it clear that I didn't talk to my sister because I had to stand up for my fiancée.”

“There were some little microaggressive gestures towards my fiancée, and that's what led to me not speaking to my sister anymore. It's been going on for quite a while,” he claimed. “I think we just kind of let it slide, because of course I'm always going to look out for my sister. But I've been put in a position where do I choose my sister, or do I choose the person I'm going to spend the rest of my life with?”

Although he is not close to Ariana, he still has relationships with other Vanderpump Rules Actors, including Sheana Shay.

“I've always been very close to Jeremy. They're both family to me. He's like a little brother and has been for over a decade,” Shay, 38, said during a fan Q&A session on an April episode of her podcast “Scheananigans.”
