Ariana Madix Opens Up About the Pain of Losing a Parent: "It’s the Hardest Thing to Go Through"
The Vanderpump Rules friend showed love for Jax Taylor and Lala Kent, both of whom recently lost their dads.
In what might go down as one of the most heartbreaking moments to take place during a Vanderpump Rules reunion, Jax Taylor broke down when talking about the passing of his father last December (clip above). It was a moment that left everyone, including Andy Cohen, fighting back tears. That pain was also something that Ariana Madix could relate to, as she shared on Twitter the same night Part 1 of the Season 6 reunion aired.
"Sending my love to @lala_kent, @mrjaxtaylor and anyone else who has lost a parent who is watching," she wrote (Lala Kent's dad passed away just last month). "It’s the hardest thing to go through but I know we will all get through it together. Miss my dad every day, but like to think they are all having a cookout up there together."
Jax was certainly thankful for her words of support, writing, "Thanks @ariana2525 as you know, it’s the worst pain anyone can go through."
Kristen Doute also applauded Jax for opening up during the sit-down, and sent support to Lala during this difficult time for her in the wake of her own dad's death, writing, "Kudos to @mrjaxtaylor for keeping it together the way he did during that conversation. We love you and sending all of the love in the world to @lala_ken[t]."
Jax's dad died last December after a battle with cancer. Meanwhile Lala's dad died just last month; no additional details have been provided, but she and a number of the SURvers were in Utah last week for his funeral.
Part 2 of the Season 6 reunion will air Monday at 9/8c. Preview, below.
