New ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Stars Chris Hahn & Jason Cohen Go Viral Over OnlyFans Past
READ TIME: 9 MIN.
The rebooted season of Bravo’s long-running reality series "Vanderpump Rules" is introducing a new cast — and two of its freshest faces are already at the center of online conversation for their connection to subscription-based adult content platform OnlyFans.
Cousins Chris Hahn and Jason Cohen, both new “SUR-vers” on the show, have become viral talking points after fans and entertainment outlets highlighted that each has maintained or previously maintained an OnlyFans account, with Hahn still active under an alternate name and Cohen apparently having recently removed his content.
The current season of "Vanderpump Rules" marks a shift away from the “Scandoval” cheating scandal that dominated Season 10 and propelled the series to some of its highest ratings and most intense public scrutiny. As part of that reset, Bravo introduced a largely refreshed ensemble focusing on new staff at Lisa Vanderpump’s West Hollywood restaurant SUR, positioning Hahn and Cohen among the central newcomers.
According to coverage of the new season, the production aims to retain the franchise’s focus on workplace dynamics, romantic drama, and nightlife culture in West Hollywood, a neighborhood widely recognized for its historic and contemporary significance to LGBTQ+ communities. This context has helped "Vanderpump Rules" cultivate a substantial LGBTQ+ fan base, many of whom engage actively on social media platforms such as X and Instagram in response to casting decisions and storylines.
Before joining "Vanderpump Rules", both Hahn and Cohen had already appeared on reality television. Pride reports that the cousins previously co-starred on Netflix’s dating series "Dated & Related," which premiered in 2022 and followed pairs of siblings and relatives navigating a villa-based dating competition. Netflix’s official materials for "Dated & Related" confirmed that the show’s cast was composed of related pairs seeking romantic connections while their relatives watched and sometimes intervened.
In addition to "Dated & Related," Chris Hahn also appeared on Netflix’s "Perfect Match," a crossover dating series that brought together alumni from multiple Netflix reality franchises to compete and form couples in a villa format. Coverage of "Perfect Match" described Hahn as one of the singles introduced during the season, continuing his trajectory as a reality dating personality before transitioning into the Bravo universe.
That background has led commentators to note that both cousins arrive on "Vanderpump Rules" with experience navigating the scrutiny and visibility that come with unscripted television — a factor that may influence how they respond to renewed attention on their online content and personal branding.
The most immediate source of online discussion has been the revelation that both Hahn and Cohen have ties to OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform widely used by adult content creators, fitness models, and influencers to monetize direct access to their fans.
According to Pride's reporting, Chris Hahn maintains an active OnlyFans account under the name Axel Stone, where he is described as focusing on fitness and modeling content. His profile reportedly uses language emphasizing a fun, open attitude toward engaging with subscribers, inviting them not to be shy and to participate in his content experience.
Pride further notes that Jason Cohen previously operated his own OnlyFans account but appears to have removed the page or its content in the lead-up to or during his transition onto "Vanderpump Rules." The article reports that while the account itself is no longer openly accessible, a link to the page still appeared via Cohen’s Linktree at the time of publication, suggesting a recent change rather than a long-abandoned project.
Fans on X and Instagram have circulated screenshots and commentary about the cousins’ online presence, with many posts focusing on Hahn’s shirtless photo with another man that was shared on X and amplified by entertainment outlets as an example of his social media appeal. These reactions emphasize the highly visual, body-focused nature of both their social content and their past or present work on OnlyFans.
The emergence of Hahn and Cohen as reality stars with OnlyFans ties arrives amid broader cultural conversations about the normalization of subscription-based adult content and its intersection with mainstream entertainment. LGBTQ+ communities have long included creators who use platforms such as OnlyFans to share sexually explicit or erotic content, fitness modeling, and other forms of body-centered self-expression, often as an economic strategy that allows greater autonomy compared with traditional entertainment industry structures.
Media coverage has documented that many LGBTQ+ creators view OnlyFans and similar services as opportunities to control their image and directly engage with supporters, while also facing risks of stigma, doxxing, and discrimination due to persistent cultural biases against sex work and adult entertainment. These dynamics can be intensified when creators move into broader reality TV fame, where content from their past and present online work may be recirculated and reinterpreted by wider audiences.
In this context, news reporting on Hahn’s and Cohen’s OnlyFans histories speaks to ongoing debates about how television networks, advertisers, and fan communities understand adult content, sex work, and digital labor. Outlets covering the cousins have largely framed their online work as part of their branding as fitness-oriented, sexually confident reality personalities rather than as grounds for moral judgment.
"Vanderpump Rules" is set primarily in and around West Hollywood, an area internationally recognized for its dense concentration of LGBTQ+ bars, nightlife, and community spaces. The show’s association with these spaces has helped it develop a substantial LGBTQ+ following, particularly among gay and bisexual men who relate to or critique its portrayal of nightlife culture, dating, and chosen family dynamics.
While Hahn and Cohen themselves have not been reported in major outlets as publicly identifying with a specific LGBTQ+ label as of the latest coverage, their embrace of aesthetics and platforms resonant within queer digital culture — including thirst-trap photography, collaborative reality dating shows, and OnlyFans — positions them within broader discussions about how masculinity, queerness, and sexuality are represented on television.
As "Vanderpump Rules" continues its new season, entertainment and LGBTQ+ outlets will likely track how Bravo chooses to address or incorporate the cousins’ OnlyFans histories into on-screen storylines, confessionals, or reunion episodes. Whether the show frames those histories as casual background, as sources of conflict, or as neutral parts of their professional lives will influence how mainstream audiences understand the relationship between reality TV, sexuality, and adult content in a queer-adjacent setting.
For now, reporting from Pride and other entertainment sources indicates that fans are largely responding with humor, thirst, and curiosity, sharing Hahn’s and Cohen’s photos and past reality clips across social platforms and celebrating the arrival of new, camera-ready personalities to the Bravo landscape. In a media environment where LGBTQ+ people and sex workers still face serious structural discrimination, the neutral or positive framing of these OnlyFans connections within mainstream pop culture coverage marks a noteworthy moment in the evolving relationship between queerness, reality television, and adult digital economies.
