When we first met Noella Bergener on The Real Housewives of Orange County, she was suddenly thrown into a bitter divorce with her husband of just one year. The fact that he filed for divorce in Puerto Rico made the whole situation even more complicated.
Of course, Noella became a one-and-done Housewife, and we haven’t heard much from her since the end of RHOC Season 16. Now, we’ve just learned that she had another short-lived marriage since we last saw her on our screens.
Noella Bergener married Bobby Schubenski before filing for divorce six months later
During the RHOC Season 16 reunion, we learned that Noella moved on from her divorce from James “Sweet James” Bergener and met a new guy named Bobby Schubenski. She told Andy Cohen that he “bought” her an “adult toy marketplace company.”
Bobby popped the question the following year. Little did we know, they had a quiet little wedding ceremony on December 30, 2024, per court documents reviewed by Us Weekly. The marital bliss didn’t last long because on July 28, 2025, she filed for divorce. She listed the date of separation as June 1, 2025, meaning they barely made it even six months.
In the divorce docs, Noella cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
However, she didn’t state any requests for spousal support. According to her, she’ll update her request regarding separate and community property as “the information becomes available.”
In Noella’s previous divorce, she wound up walking away with a sizable child support award. The court ordered James to pay her $25,000 per month in child support for the child they share and another $7,400 for her daughter from a previous relationship.
Since Noella and Bobby don’t share any children (that we know of), we suspect this split will be a little more cut and dry than the previous one. Unless Bobby surprises her with a Puerto Rican divorce filing, Noella will be single again soon.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo every Thursday at 8/7c. Stream it on Peacock the next day or on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
