Lisa Vanderpump says Max Vanderpump-Todd is still living in Idaho and, for now, he is doing it on his own terms. The update came during a recent conversation with Bravo Insider tied to The Vanderpump Hotel opening, where she described a son who keeps one foot outside her public world.
“He said, ‘It’s a bit like walking on the moon, mum,’” she said of Max’s reaction to the opening. She added that he had just gotten off a plane from Idaho when he visited the event, then summed up his current routine in one line: “He’s living the life he wants to live right now.”
The Idaho life
Max’s Idaho base matters because it fits the pattern Lisa has described before: her two children live a much more private life than she does. His Instagram account leans the same way, with photos of ducks, butterflies, a fox and an owl rather than a steady stream of public appearances, which gives his update a different feel from the more visible parts of the family business.
That private lane is not total silence. In May 2025, Max posted to his Instagram Story while hanging out with Teddy Sabo, and in October 2025 he posted a photo with friends to his Instagram Story. He also has two nephews, Teddy Sabo and Greyson Sabo, and Pandora Vanderpump-Sabo is his sister, so the family tie stays present even when Idaho keeps him out of the spotlight.
The Vanderpump Hotel opening
Max still appeared at The Vanderpump Hotel opening, which gives the clearest snapshot of his current balance: private daily life in Idaho, plus the occasional family event that pulls him back into view. Lisa’s account makes that split visible without turning him into a regular public figure, and that is the point of the update.
For readers, the takeaway is simple. Max Vanderpump-Todd is not moving through the family orbit full time, but Lisa says he is exactly where he wants to be right now, and the only near-term change she leaves hanging is whether that Idaho routine stays fixed or shifts after a little more time away.
