Dayna Kathan

Dayna Kathan was born on July 25, 1990, in Federal Way, Washington, USA. She became publicly known through her participation in the Bravo reality series “Vanderpump Rules.” Her initial appearances on the show began in Season 7, where she was introduced as a new addition to the social circle surrounding the main cast. She later rejoined the cast officially in 2019, playing a more significant role across 26 episodes until 2024. During her time on the series, she was openly linked to co-stars Max Boyen and Brett Caprioni.

Kathan’s career progression involved navigating various on-screen relationships and workplace dynamics at SUR Restaurant, the focal point of “Vanderpump Rules.” While portraying a role at the restaurant, it was later revealed that this was primarily for show continuity rather than a sustained employment. She appeared as herself in other television series such as “Entertainment Tonight” (2020) and a special video message in “Dancing with the Stars” (2023). She also participated as a guest on podcast series including “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” (2020) and “The Viall Files” (2024–2025).

A significant turning point in Kathan’s career was her decision to leave “Vanderpump Rules.” Following her departure from the show, Kathan partnered with fellow former cast member Katie Maloney to co-host the podcast “Disrespectfully.” This new venture positions her to share perspectives and insights from her experiences in reality television and beyond. Concurrently with her media engagements, Kathan has maintained a career in healthcare sales, which she has stated she continues to pursue.
