As filming continues for the tenth season of a popular reality series set in the Hamptons, a longtime cast member is opening up about the changes ahead, his own transformative path, and a recent commitment to wellness.
The upcoming season will see the departure of a key personality, a move described by the star as a significant shift for the group dynamic. “It’s always tough when someone who’s been a core part of the experience moves on to focus on other projects,” he noted. “But that’s the nature of these summer arrangements—people come and go. We’re welcoming some fresh perspectives, which I think viewers will enjoy getting to know.”
Having been with the series since its inception, the star expressed profound gratitude for the unexpected longevity of the endeavor. “To reach a decade is surreal,” he shared. “It’s a unique platform. What audiences see is genuinely driven by us—our real interactions and friendships. There’s no script or winner’s trophy. We’re documenting our actual lives, and that authenticity is something I value deeply.”
His personal narrative has been a central thread throughout the show’s run, particularly his public journey toward sobriety. He spoke candidly about past struggles, stating that the structure and accountability the series provided became a crucial catalyst for change. “I reached a point where I had to be honest with myself about my health,” he explained. “Choosing a sober lifestyle was non-negotiable for continuing this chapter of my life. The experience has given me a completely new perspective, and if sharing my story resonates with or helps even one person, that’s an incredible reward.”
This focus on well-being has recently manifested in a new passion: running. What began as casual interest evolved into a committed training regimen, culminating in a recent half-marathon. “It started by supporting a friend and turned into a personal goal,” he said. “The discipline has been tremendously beneficial for my mental and physical health. It aligns perfectly with how I want to live now.”
To support his training, he utilizes specific technology to monitor his performance, sleep, and recovery metrics. “Having clear data on my pace, distance, and overall health stats is empowering,” he remarked. “It helps me stay informed and mindful about my body’s needs, which is a priority for me.”
As he looks forward to the new season and continues preparing for a full marathon this fall, the star emphasizes a theme of growth—both for the show and himself. “It’s about evolution,” he reflected. “The cast changes, we as individuals change, but the core of capturing real friendship and real life continues. I’m just thankful to be part of the journey.”
