Real Housewives of Orange County OG Vicki Gunvalson has some big plans for the New Year. Not only has she reclaimed her orange for Season 20, but she’s making some big changes in her business life also.
At BravoCon 2025, Vicki revealed that she’s planning to sell the company she founded over 30 years ago, Coto Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. “I want to do what I want to do,” she told Heather Dubrow at the time. “I want to work out more, I want to learn how to dance … And I want to travel more. That’s my goal.”
COTO Insurance is “going up for sale”
While the mom of two wants time to enjoy her life more, she’s not retiring completely. “I’ve been working too hard for too long,” she explained. “My business is going up for sale, [but] I’m still going to be retained as a significant other.”
In addition to working less, Vicki has some other plans for the New Year. On December 29, she shared a video of herself dancing on-stage. “The 2026 fun bus is ready to leave the station!!” she captioned her post.
Some of her goals for the near future include: “Endless woohoos and whoop-it-ups, an overflowing love tank, never-ending work days, more fun with my friends, soulmates & sisters; a kick ass RHOC Season 20.”
In a July 23 episode of her podcast, My Friend My Soulmate, My Podcast, Vicki shared that her boyfriend Michael Smith was encouraging her to retire soon. “Mike wants me to consider working three or four days a week versus eight,” she said. “I’m open to that. What do people do when they’re retired?”
After cautioning her listeners that she doesn’t “have any hobbies,” she warned, “I think the people who are retired and have no purpose, they die.”
It’s a good thing then that she’s returning to RHOC. Stirring up trouble with Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador may be her new “hobby.” Though the full Season 20 cast has yet to be revealed, fans are hoping the Three Amigos will ride again!
All episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County are streaming on Peacock.
