Vicki Gunvalson’s Fiancé Steve Lodge Is Running For Governor Of California

Denizens of California, take a deep breath and exhale a sigh of relief! Are you troubled by the fact that your state is basically on fire? Are you concerned Caitlyn Jenner might soon bring her driving techniques to Sacramento? Well sit back and relax because voters can now put the fate of their great state in the hands of Vicki Gunvalson’s boyfriend.

That’s right, the Real Housewives of Orange County alum could find herself going from OG to First Lady. Steve Chavez Lodge is making some new moves since leaving the Santa Ana PD and spending quality time on Vicki’s living room recliner. Steve enjoys sitting in the Puerto Vallarta condo Vicki bought and riding away from Vicki on the motorcycle she gifted him. Apparently Steve also enjoys running for office and just made a surprising announcement. Steve is throwing his hat and Vicki’s money into the race for Governor of California.

Gretchen Rossi Says She And Slade Smiley Didn’t Get Married Because They Were Focusing On IVF; Compares Their Relationship To LGBTQ+ Struggles

Gretchen Rossi

Slade Smiley and Gretchen Rossi have a long history with the Real Housewives of Orange County.  And for both of them, their prior relationships were focal story lines, until they started dating each other in 2009.  Slade was featured in the premiere season of RHOC, by proxy of his relationship with Jo De La Rosa.  At the time, he was a very eligible bachelor and riding high with a top paying job.  Jo’s tagline for Season 1 said it all, “he’s pretty much keeping me.”  But his fortune turned with the market crash in 2007.  Since then, he struggled with employment and paying off debts pertaining to child support.

Slade tried to stay relevant on RHOC by briefly dating Lauri Waring, before he and Gretchen got together.  Rather than put attention into seeking employment, Slade bickered with costars Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge.  Gretchen was the bread-winner since the beginning of their relationship and said she would never marry Slade until he paid off his debts.  Well, apparently Gretchen is sticking to it because Slade has yet to deal with his financial obligations.  And though the two are clearly committed to each other after 11 years together, an engagement, and welcoming a daughter, Skylar, in July of 2019, they still haven’t tied the knot.

Gretchen Rossi Confronts Andy Cohen For Saying Her Relationship With Slade Smiley Was Fake

Gretchen Rossi

Can we agree that the fakest Bravo proposal was when Gretchen Rossi proposed to Slade Slimy Smiley on a helipad? Slade was broke (remember, he asked the jeweler to put an “imitation stone” in the ring setting?). In order to lock down some Season 9 income (spoiler: they didn’t), Slade and Gretchen manufactured an elaborate proposal. That proposal consisted of Marilyn Monroe cosplay, a song by Gretchen, a helicopter, and totally authentic declarations of love. Why the trip down memory lane?

Well, Watch What Happens Live gifted us with a week-long special that celebrated past and present Bravolebrities. The “Blasts From the Past” special was dedicated to former housewives. Taylor Armstrong, Phaedra Parks, Jill Zarin, Adriana de Moura, and Jacqueline Laurita joined Gretchen on WWHL to spill some tea and grill Andy Cohen.

Gretchen Rossi Says Braunwyn Windham-Burke Is “Very Inauthentic Because 1 Day She’s Straight, 1 Day She’s A Lesbian”;  Says There’s “No Relatability” On Real Housewives Of Orange County Although She “Doesn’t Watch”

Gretchen Rossi sued

What can we say about Season 15 of Real Housewives of Orange County? It was boring. Braunwyn Windham-Burke was the center of the show. She revealed that she was an alcoholic, and RHOC viewers watched her begin her sobriety journey.

Then she announced that she was a lesbian and began dating a woman. She was still married to her husband, Sean Burke, and the couple planned to stay hitched. They have seven children together, but this situation is complicated. And Braunwyn stated that she would “be heartbroken” if Sean began dating other women.

Gretchen Rossi Says Tamra Judge Is “Common Denominator” For Drama On Real Housewives Of Orange County; Says She Would Return If Tamra Doesn’t Come Back

Gretchen Rossi Cl

It’s very clear after the disastrous 15th season of Real Housewives of Orange County that the show is definitely not what it used to be. There’s no more whooping it up with Vicki Gunvalson or pot-stirring from Tamra Judge. Gone are the days of Fancy Pants Heather Dubrow being the voice of reason or never-ending jokes about Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley‘s over-produced relationship.

Season 15 was a dud. Kelly Dodd and Braunwyn Windham-Burke became more problematic than ever. And OGs of the OC Tamra and Vicki didn’t return at all. It made Shannon Beador the longest-running RHOC cast member, and the crown was definitely a bit too heavy for her to carry. Probably because she’s still going back and forth with David Beador years after their split.

Sonja Morgan Says Harry Dubin Never Grew Up And Has Peter Pan Syndrome

Sonja Morgan Real Housewives Of New York

Over the years, the ladies of Real Housewives of New York have grown up a lot. Sonja Morgan went from being the ex-wife of JP Morgan Chase bank guy to an International Fashion Lifestyle Brand. Luann de Lesseps went from The Countess to Cabaret star. Ramona Singer went from being an out-of-touch narcissist to an out-of-touch, narcissistic real estate agent. In just 12 seasons!

While we have witnessed countless ups and downs, one thing remains – these women will always share Harry Dubin. Harry is like the Slade Smiley of New York City. He was once married to Aviva Drescher. Since they divorced, he and Sonja have had an on and off thing for years. During this time, Harry and Luann have also hooked up.  Most recently, Harry and Ramona were spotted making out. It’s a picture you can’t unsee. Oh, and he’s also been linked to Kelly Bensimon. Put simply, Harry is a pig RHONY staple.

Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City Recap: All Hail The Sundance Queens

Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City Whitney Rose Heather Gay

Once a year, something exciting happens in Utah. As January wraps its icy hand around the state, celebrities descend on Park City for the Sundance Film Festival. For two weeks, the state most known for religion becomes the epicenter of the entertainment industry, with A-list stars and indie up-and-comers converging for an endless parade of premieres, parties and Park City moments. And this week, we get to experience it all through the fabulous lens of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

As a native Utahn, Sundance truly was the most fun I had all year. Every year of college, my friends and I would make a staycation out of it, renting a hotel suite in Park City and spending the weekend strolling Main Street and meeting celebs and Bravolebrities alike. In fact, Sundance was the very first time I ever encountered a Housewife in real life. Over the years, my BFFs and I met everyone from Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley to the Shahs of Sunset and the Vanderpump Rules gang. In fact, my most epic Sundance stories involve both Harry Styles and one particular A-list actor who shall remain nameless. But those are stories for another day. Let’s get into the recap, shall we?

Kelly Dodd Says Vicki Gunvalson Is A “Pig” With “A Gross, Funky Body”; Vicki Calls Kelly A “Gold Digging Harlot” And “Pig” Who Mocks The Black Lives Matter Movement

Vicki Kelly Dodd

When Kelly Dodd joined Real Housewives of Orange County, she was the only one willing to be friends with Vicki Gunvalson after the infamous cancer scam.

That all went out the window when Vicki and Steve Lodge started going out on double dates with Kelly’s ex-husband Michael Dodd and kept the outings a secret. Ever since then, Vicki and Kelly have been ripping each other to shreds whenever possible.
