A Reality TV Vet Gets Pumped for Pump Rules
Before stepping into the pump-fueled drama of VPR, Hahn was already a reality TV vet, starring on Netflix’s Dated and Related and Perfect Match alongside his cousin (yes, that’s a family affair!). But, entering the Bravoverse? Now that’s a whole different level of chaos, and Hahn isn’t immune to the pre-show jitters.

Hahn Faces the Heat—And He’s Ready for It
In a chat with People, Hahn opened up about his nerves: “Obviously, I’m nervous,” he admitted. “I know people are a little upset that I’ve been on reality TV before, and I think they think they know who I am based on my reality TV, what has been shown, and everything like that. So I’m a little nervous to maybe see a little bit of sh*t talking, hate, and stuff like that.”

Oh, honey, did you really think you could escape the internet’s wrath? Especially when you’ve already got a couple of Netflix dating shows under your belt? But here’s the twist—Chris isn’t running from it. Instead, he’s owning it like the VPR pro he’s becoming. “But at the end of the day, I understand where they’re coming from if they feel that way, and you’re going to find out who I really am.” Mic drop.
The Thirst Is Real: Fans React to New Faces on Pump Rules
And wow, fans are already throwing shade about the new season, calling the fresh faces “thirsty for fame.” Yep, Chris, the criticism train has already pulled into the station. But guess what? Hahn’s not crying into his kale smoothie over it. He’s charging forward with a healthy dose of self-assurance—and a hint of inspiration thrown in for good measure. “I hope to inspire people to not be scared and really just put themselves out there and not shy away from opportunities because of how people are going to think of you and what people are going to say.”

Honestly? He’s serving us goals right now. It takes guts to dive headfirst into Vanderpump Rules territory, where drama flows like rosé, and every mistake is magnified. But Hahn’s embracing it all, ready to make his mark.
