Siesta Key Cast: What Are They Up to Now?
The Siesta Key cast undoubtedly made an impact both in their hometown and beyond.
Two years post the series finale aired by MTV, several cast members still cherish the beloved moments from the reality show.
“One standout memory from season 1 was our trip to Bimini,” Kelsey Owens shared exclusively with Us Weekly. “On our return journey, the entire cast and crew took the ferry together, enjoying the ride with music, dancing, and bonding. It may seem minor, but it has always resonated with me as a truly genuine moment. The show hadn’t been released yet, everyone was getting along, and we were young and carefree, unaware of how much everything would change.”
Over five seasons, cameras captured a group of young adults as they navigated friendships, romantic relationships, careers, heartaches, and reconciliations in their Floridian coastal hometown.
Even now, many stars from the show report receiving inquiries from fans who feel a connection to them.
“People often ask if I’m still close with the other cast members. Absolutely!” Madisson Hausburg told Us. “I have a friendship with all the girls! We’re incredibly supportive of each other. No matter how much time passes, I believe we will always maintain our unique and unbreakable bond.”
Another frequent query Amanda Marie Mizell gets is whether it was real.
“Some aspects were heightened for entertainment purposes, but my storyline was very authentic, and I think that’s why viewers resonated with me,” she explained to Us. “I always presented my true self and found it fascinating to witness my growth on screen. Some things I said still make me laugh! I feel like I was quite young and have matured significantly.”

Madisson Hausburg
Madisson and her spouse, Ish Soto, are happily married with a daughter named Sunday. After a brief stay on the West Coast, the family returned to Florida for a more relaxed lifestyle.
“My wedding remains my most cherished memory from Siesta Key,” Madisson recalled, also mentioning her son, who was stillborn in 2021. “I am eternally grateful to MTV and the producers for that special day. I was seven months pregnant with my son, Elliot, and having those moments captured on camera means the world to me.”
Kelsey Owens
Kelsey celebrated her dream wedding with Max Strong in May 2024. During their first year together, the couple has been renovating their new home and also started a photography venture called MKB Photography.
As Kelsey plans to start a family “in the next few years,” she reflects on the sisterhood formed among the Siesta Key cast.
“No matter the drama or obstacles we’ve faced, I genuinely believe that if any cast member truly needed help, we’d all be there for each other,” she expressed. “Filming the show forged a bond that’s difficult to articulate. It just exists.”
Juliette Porter
Post-Siesta Key, Juliette has continued her work with her swimwear and resort wear business, JMP The Label. She has also ventured into podcasting by co-hosting the “Don’t Be Ridiculous” podcast alongside Sebastian Genta.
“I felt there was nothing left for me in Siesta Key, and I craved change,” Juliette shared with Page Six in 2022. “I didn’t realize how monotonous living in my hometown had become. Our routines were stale.”
Garrett Miller
Currently joyfully married to Makenna Quesenberry, Garrett and his wife have established their home in Georgia, enjoying outdoor adventures with their three dogs.
“I’ve been concentrating on fitness and wellness,” Garrett revealed to Us. “I launched a fitness app called Fourthouse, offering personalized 1-on-1 coaching for those seeking to transform their health and lifestyle. It’s been fantastic to merge my passion for fitness with aiding others in achieving their goals.”
Even after five seasons on the show, Garrett treasures memories of his time with Makenna. “Without question, any scene filmed with my wife stands out as my favorite,” he noted. “Those moments felt the most sincere and special as I shared that segment of my life with the audience.”
Amanda Marie Mizell
Amanda has married JJ Mizell since the show’s conclusion and welcomed a daughter named Miya. “Transitioning from my independent, adventurous self to being a wife and mother has been quite a journey,” Amanda mentioned to Us. “Yet I’ve grown immensely and cherish my family dearly. I can’t picture my life any other way now!”
Juggling freelance filmmaking and assisting local businesses with marketing, Amanda fondly remembers escapades with her co-stars.
“Though many were traumatized by it, I genuinely enjoyed filming on the island!” she remarked. “It was a singular experience, and I treasured every moment.”
Camilla Cattaneo
After the series wrapped, Camilla founded her influencer agency, Astro Social Agency, collaborating with some of her former co-stars. On a personal note, she recently began dating an “amazing boyfriend,” Bradley Knotts.
“It’s been a lovely bond,” she told Us, “and I’m thankful for this thrilling chapter both personally and professionally.”
Camilla expresses gratitude for the kindness she receives from fans following her revelation of an ectopic pregnancy during an episode of Siesta Key. “Many expressed how my story helped them feel less isolated and afraid, and how deeply moving that scene was,” she shared. “Hearing that it resonated with so many people on a profound level truly touched me.”
Cara Geswelli
Cara transitioned from Siesta Key to rural life with her boyfriend, Michael Wheary. While working as a nurse at a local hospital, she enjoys caring for donkeys, chickens, and ducks at her “happy place.”
Among all her filming moments for Siesta Key, a specific experience with Jordana Lexus sticks out.
“We were rollerblading and had a tough time — falling repeatedly while trying to have serious discussions,” she recalled. “It was hilariously chaotic. Filming on Palm Island was also extraordinary. Although I knew I wasn’t exactly welcome there, I didn’t really care. The island was breathtaking.”
Lexie Salameh
Following the end of the show, Lexie relocated from Miami to Delray Beach, where she has branched into the real estate sector. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys spending time with friends, staying active, and focusing on personal growth.
“I’ve relished forming new connections and easing into this tranquil, slower-paced chapter of my life,” she shared with Us. “It’s been rejuvenating, and I’m eager to see what’s next!”
Even after revealing her dating experiences on reality TV, Lexie continues to receive advice-seeking inquiries from young women. “My advice is to trust your instincts,” she advised. “If something feels off, it’s perfectly acceptable to prioritize yourself and walk away. Although it may not always be easy, choosing your happiness is invaluable in the long run.”
Robby Hayes
After his departure from Los Angeles in 2022, Robby returned to Florida, where he became a licensed real estate agent. He continues to thrive in social media and marketing alongside Jake Peterson through their agency, Rebella.
Until now, Robby frequently finds himself answering questions about the incident of throwing Amanda’s phone into the sea. However, his favorite memory revolves around a notorious trip.
“Greece. No doubt about it,” he revealed. “And what unfolds there…”
Chloe Trautman
Chloe is happily married to Chris Long, and their family recently expanded with the arrival of their baby, Forrest, in July 2024. This self-described homemaker is dedicated to holistic health and beauty while steering clear of drama.
“Jesus blessed me with salvation, another year of loving my husband, and our little Forrest this year,” Chloe expressed on Instagram in September 2024. “I did nothing to deserve all these gifts. Thank you, Lord, for this life.”
Brandon Gomes
Brandon has opted to maintain his personal life away from social media since Siesta Key concluded, yet he continues to compose new music. He is also dedicated to spending quality time with his son, Quincy, from his previous relationship with Delainey Salek.
“Happy Birthday Q!” he conveyed on Instagram in June 2024. “I love you, son. Here’s to more life and blessings ahead. I’m proud to be your father and miss you dearly. We’ll reunite soon.”
