💍 Vanderpump Rules Alum Katie Maloney Shocks Fans by Officially Getting Engaged to Boyfriend Nick Martin in a Secret Ceremony in West Hollywood

In a twist no one saw coming, Vanderpump Rules alum Katie Maloney has stunned fans by announcing her engagement to boyfriend Nick Martin — and the reveal came straight from what insiders are calling a

“secret ceremony” in West Hollywood this weekend.

According to multiple sources, the intimate event took place at a private rooftop lounge surrounded by close friends and a few familiar Bravo faces. Cameras weren’t rolling (for once), but eyewitnesses say it had

all the makings of a reality TV moment — from the tears to the champagne to Katie’s jaw-dropping diamond ring.

After years of heartbreak and public ups and downs following her divorce from ex-husband

Tom Schwartz, fans are calling this Katie’s “redemption era.” A source close to the reality star told Bravo Buzz, “Katie didn’t want another over-the-top reality engagement. She wanted something private, meaningful, and real — and Nick gave her that.”

Nick Martin, a Los Angeles-based entrepreneur who reportedly met Katie through mutual friends in the restaurant scene, has kept a relatively low profile compared to her Bravo-famous exes. But insiders say the chemistry between them is undeniable.

“They’re a perfect match — he grounds her, she challenges him, and they both have that sarcastic humor that just works,” another insider spilled.

Of course, Bravo Nation immediately exploded once the engagement news hit social media. Within hours, hashtags like

#KatieMaloneyEngaged and #VanderpumpRulesWedding began trending, with fans expressing both shock and excitement. One fan posted, “Katie finally found her peace — and hopefully someone who actually listens to her this time!”

Another joked, “Can’t wait for Schwartz’s reaction episode.”

Even fellow castmates weighed in, with Ariana Madix reportedly commenting a string of heart emojis under Katie’s soft-launch engagement photo — a black-and-white snap of two hands intertwined, diamond front and center.

Still, not everyone’s convinced this is the end of the drama. Some fans speculate Bravo might find a way to feature the engagement in The Valley or even tease a crossover event for future seasons.

“Once a Pump Rule, always a Pump Rule,” one source teased.

From SUR to self-love and now to “I do,” Katie Maloney has officially turned the page — proving that in the world of Bravo, there’s nothing more shocking than a happy ending.
