Between stressing over Teddi Mellencamp’s cancer battle and warring with her castmates on Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra Judge is having a tough year. While admitting that 2025 has been “difficult,” she remains grateful for the unwavering support of her husband Eddie Judge.
“My husband has been my biggest supporter, my biggest cheerleader,” she said. “He loves me so much, and he just wants me to do what’s right for me or what’s healthy. And he’s always there for me, so I can’t complain.”
Eddie Judge is Tamra’s “biggest cheerleader”
Between worrying about Teddi and fighting the never-ending war with Gretchen Rossi, Tamra’s been under a lot of pressure. Meanwhile, the one constant in her life is Eddie. He’s been by her side every step of the way.
“You guys are watching my emotional journey happen right here on [RHOC Season 19],” Tamra told BravoTV.com. “It’s been definitely a difficult situation for me, because I’m not really great with my emotions. But I’m trying to get through it the best that I can. Stop judging me.”
When Tamra was in New Orleans for the girls’ trip, she was flooded with poignant memories. She and Teddi had visited the Big Easy just three weeks earlier for the Superbowl. During a dinner with her castmates, all that emotion came to a head, and she ended up storming out.
“I feel not loved and not wanted,” Tamra explained in a show confessional. “And I just don’t think there’s a place for me in this group.”
Following her big, dramatic exit from the table, Tamra immediately called her husband and asked him to book her a flight home. “I’m done,” she told him. “I’m out. I don’t need this. Bye.”
While she may have a lot of drama with the other women, Tamra and Eddie’s life at home still seems stable after over a decade together. He’s her rock and an example for other Real Househusbands to aspire to.
“Eddie’s great,” she told Bravo’s Daily Dish in July. “We’re loving life … We’re at that time right now where, you know, [her children with ex-husband Simon Barney] are older, and he met me while my kids were very little. I think Sophia [Barney] was only a couple years old.”
Tamra and Simon finalized their divorce in October 2011. Just two years later, Tamra and Eddie married in a lavish wedding on June 15, 2013 (Heather Dubrow was a bridesmaid). And they’ve been going strong ever since. Eddie’s a saint.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
