The Vanderpump Villa reunion looks a little different with Stassi Schroeder asking the hard-hitting questions — and Marciano addressing his drama with the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast.
Hulu released the trailer for the special on Thursday, May 1, in which Stassi and Lisa Vanderpump asked the staff of Castello Rosato about the biggest highs and lows of season 2. It didn’t take long for Marciano to find himself in the hot seat following his surprising comments about Mormon Wives star Demi Engemann.
“I had a very strong attraction,” he admitted as Stassi turned the conversation to his on-off girlfriend Hannah, asking, “Hannah, I want to talk about why you are crying.”
Elsewhere in the sneak peek, Marciano hinted at having some regrets. “I made a gigantic mistake and it ended up blowing up in my face,” he recalled.
Meet the Cast of ‘Vanderpump Villa’ Season 2 — Including the ‘VPR’ Alums
Both Marciano and Hannah have had memorable turns on Lisa Vanderpump‘s newest reality series. When season 2 premiered on April 24, viewers were in for a fun crossover between the cast of Vanderpump Villa and Demi, along with her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives costars Jen Affleck, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor and Mikayla Matthews.

During the women’s visit, Marciano immediately found himself smitten with Demi — who married husband Bret Engemann in 2021. They ended the season on good terms, but Demi has since called out Marciano for perpetuating rumors that she was unfaithful.
Marciano, for his part, took to social media before the show’s premiere, writing via Instagram, “Uninvited to the function cus a 30yo mormon wife’s scared I will tell her husband the truth.”
Bret appeared to clap back by sharing a photo of himself and Demi, writing via his Instagram Story, “I’m so proud of this beautiful human. She’s the most incredible woman I will ever know. The amount of nonsense she’s had to endure at the hands of disingenuous and deceitful fools is astounding. She’s conducted herself like a graceful lioness amongst a bunch of yipping hyenas.”

Later in the season, Marciano and Hannah faced some serious consequences when they got into a fight with costar Siadi. By the next morning, the former couple were fired by Lisa, and they left the show after only appearing in half the episodes.
“I have spoken to Lisa and obviously the way I handle my emotions was a little intense that night,” Hannah exclusively told Us Weekly in April about the offscreen aftermath. “So I owe an apology. But she had to do what she had to do, and I totally get that.”
Lisa agreed with Hannah’s perspective, telling Us, “They handled it wrong and I couldn’t give them just another chance. I saw things escalating and it was just a situation that was very difficult for me to deal with. But did I hate losing them? Yes. But they just keep getting so complicated.”
The restaurateur continued: “Hannah, I just feel that she’s got so much positivity out of everybody. She was probably one of the most popular cast members. So to let them go — it was difficult for sure.”

Marciano, meanwhile, said the experience brought him and Hannah closer.
“When we left, we were really honestly bonded together,” Marciano shared with Us. “Because we both got sent home together and it was, like, one of those things that no matter what — whether we’re together or not — we’ve had feelings for each other.”
Marciano said he was glad to have left with Hannah, adding, “We know when each other is hurting. We both could see in our faces that we were genuinely upset about being sent home and we were hurt. We came together to try and get over that together and whether we’re OK now is to be decided.”
The Vanderpump Villa season 2 reunion premieres on Hulu Thursday, May 8.
