You’ve got to have friends who are willing to support you and make you laugh. That's exactly who Zack Wickham is for plenty of the The Valley cast members, including Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and Kristen Doute

How to Watch

Watch The Valley on Peacock.

Launching on March 19 on Bravo, the series follows five couples and two friends as they all reckon with everything that goes with businesses, babies, relationships, and a whole lot more. 

We honestly can’t wait to see what goes down in The Valley — and how Zack, the only single person in this flirty dozen — figures into the sure-to-be surprising dynamics.

Here's everything you need to know about Zack Wickham:

Who is Zack Wickham?

Zack is Brittany’s best friend from college, according to his bio for The Valley.

Brittany studied nursing at Eastern Kentucky University, where she was a cheerleader. Zack, meanwhile, went to the University of Louisville, per LinkedIn, where he studied communications. The two Kentucky natives were able to forge a tight bond during these early days, and it's through Brittany that Zack has befriended many members of the Vanderpump Rules cast.

In fact, Zack is no stranger to Vanderpump Rules viewers. He has appeared in episodes of the show in the past, including Jax and Brittany’s wedding episode in Season 8, as he was a member of the wedding party.

Bravo has teased that Zack, thanks to his single status, is “its de facto confidant and often the only mediator between different gossiping factions.” 

Zack has the makings for a good middle-man. More than a social butterfly, he’s an MBA who’s a communications expert “with proven ability to reach diverse audiences,” per LinkedIn. 

Moreover, there’s bound to be plenty of tea spilled from this group. The cast includes these five couples: Jax and Brittany, Kristen and Luke Broderick, Danny and Nia Booko, Jesse and Michelle Lally, and Jason and Janet Caperna
