Top Current And Former Real Housewives Who Will Never Get Divorced

Part of becoming a Real Housewives franchise member is opening up and sharing your life. This would clearly involve family members including children and the husbands, both past and present. Bravo has seen its fair share of divorces among couples since following people around for entertainment became a thing. Some have shocked us and some have been the best-case scenario to end a struggling relationship.

Longtime Bravo fans also know about the dreaded renewal of marriage vows curse. A filmed extravagant party that seems to destroy more marriages than it repairs in Real Housewives reality. But we also have couples that will never part, seemingly regardless of their circumstances. Let’s take a look at a few power relationships that will stand the test of time and the test of reality.

Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City / Lisa Barlow And John Barlow

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Lisa Barlow is no idiot and she knows when she has a good thing going. John Barlow is Lisa’s husband, and he doesn’t say much unless first directed by his wife. They’ve been married since 2003 and share two boys, Jack Barlow and Henry Barlow. Since Lisa joined RHOSLC, she has had to navigate multiple rumors regarding her ability to obtain basketball tickets. She also needed to make a clarification regarding John dating her sister first.

But John and Lisa will most likely go the distance and never divorce. They share businesses together and most importantly, John does not judge Lisa on her preferred diet of chicken chalupas and Diet Coke. They met at BYU and are both practicing Mormons, though Lisa was Jewish at birth. This man is madly in love with Lisa and says as much on social media. Lisa is grateful for her husband’s support in all aspects of her interests, including their business, their family, and her crazy reality television life.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills / Lisa Vanderpump And Ken Todd

Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and current maven of Vanderpump Rules, Lisa Vanderpump has a pretty solid marriage. I would dare say Lisa and her husband Ken Todd might be the Bravo blueprint for marriage goals. Ken is Lisa’s mate, business partner, and resident dog wrangler. Lisa hit the lottery with this man because she’s pretty much allowed to bring home any animal she fancies. His chivalry comes out hot if someone even looks sideways at Lisa and he isn’t beyond threatening someone with bodily harm if he feels she’s been slighted.

Lisa and Ken will probably be the only Bravo couple who avoid any curse related to renewing marriage vows. In that case, it appeared the curse jumped straight to Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif.

In 1980, Ken purchased a bar and that’s where he met Lisa. They began dating immediately and were engaged about six weeks later. What followed would be two children, a luxurious lifestyle, and multiple successful businesses. Ken and Lisa have been married for over 40 years and I think we can safely say the relationship stuck.

Real Housewives Of New Jersey / Caroline Manzo And Albert Manzo

Caroline Manzo is back in the news but it isn’t for reasons she’s happy about. She took a long pause from reality television after leaving Real Housewives of New Jersey, and she probably regrets coming back. During Caroline’s journey on RHONJ, we learned her husband Albert Manzo could seem pretty intimidating, but his family turns him into a big softy.

Caroline and Al have been hitched since 1984. They have 3 kids who participated in Caroline’s own spinoff, Manzo’d With Children. Their relationship didn’t start out easy and they’ve definitely had bumps in the road. While Albert spends most of his time at the family-operated Brownstone event facility, his absence certainly didn’t seem to harm their marriage. When Caroline experienced rough times on RHONJ, she had her husband to back her up. Albert supports Caroline’s animal rescue missions and applauds her gift of cooking, which she now shares on YouTube. In 2017 Al and Caroline became grandparents for the first time when daughter Lauren Manzo had Marchesa Anna Scalia.

Real Housewives Of Orange County / Heather Dubrow And Terry Dubrow

Ah yes, I know. Yadda, yadda, there are rumors Terry Dubrow is cheating on Heather Dubrow. Since the Real Housewives of Orange County star has a big house, a rich husband, and great kids – of COURSE she’s being cheated on. Despite no concrete evidence and gossip coming from people clearly envious of Heather’s station in life, her marriage to Terry has yet to dissolve. Here’s the thing, Terry and Heather have been married since 1999. Together with Terry’s career as a plastic surgeon, the couple has amassed a net worth of around $70 million dollars. They have four great kids, the youngest was still an infant when Heather started on RHOC.

While the streets have been murmuring about Terry’s extracurricular activities, there have been no obvious signs of stress in the marriage. Let’s be clear, regardless of how much money Terry has or the fact that he is listed as one of the most successful reconstructive plastic surgeons in the world, he will NEVER be wealthy enough to divorce Heather. This man knows good and well that if he ever publicly embarrassed that woman, she would take him for everything he had and then take him again for any remaining leftovers.

All of that said, Heather and Terry appear to be completely devoted partners and extremely supportive parents. They also have a pretty healthy skin care business that just celebrated 7 years. So say what you want about Heather and Terry’s marriage – these two will stay together until the next Ice Age.

Former Vanderpump Rules Star Jax Taylor Claims That Tom Sandoval “Went After Everybody” At Reunion

An even bigger villain now. It didn’t seem possible that Tom Sandoval could be most detested among Vanderpump Rules fans, but he has proved us wrong. Rather than being apologetic at the VPR reunion, it was reported that Tom had been combative.

What’s ironic now is that former Pump Rules villain, Jax Taylor, is giving his two cents on cheating and poor behavior. Presumably, Jax turned over a new leaf to keep his wife Brittany Cartwright around. The pair left the show in 2020.

Jax has been very vocal since news of Scandoval broke. Indeed, fellow alum Kristen Doute, who dated Sandoval before he hooked up with Ariana Madix, came out of the woodwork to share her insights.

Us Weekly reported that Jax discussed the drama during a recent episode of the When Reality Hits With Jax And Brittany podcast. “From what I heard, he was going in on her and deflecting. He didn’t just tuck his tail between his legs and say, ‘You know what? I screwed up. I made a bad decision and I am sorry,’” he said

Tom “deflected and went after everybody,” during the reunion filming. Jax added, “It keeps getting worse and worse and worse with all the stuff I hear. I’m waiting for the empathy. I am waiting for Tom to say, ‘I f—ked up.’”

Meanwhile, Tom Schwartz was present at the reunion taping. He praised Ariana for her composure during a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

The Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner said, “I have never seen such a ruthless denunciation of two human beings in my life. Ariana had a fire in her. I mean, she eviscerated those two and I’ve never seen anything like that. I didn’t know she had it in her,” Schwartz added.

Schwartz has taken heat for seemingly letting Sandoval off the hook for the scandalous affair with Raquel Leviss that started in the summer of 2022. Including asking fans to hug the disgraced star.

“I learned about the affair in August. The one-night stand was in August and then it became, from my point of view, it became an emotional affair,” Schwartz explained. “Which is still inappropriate, but I didn’t think it was linear. [Then] in January, he came to me and told me that he was in love with Raquel.”

VPR fans are waiting for the reunion to air with great anticipation. As well as the rest of Season 10. When news of Tom’s affair broke, Bravo sprang into action to film the reactions of the cast.

“The cameras haven’t stopped rolling. It’s not an understatement to say this will be the most explosive season of Vanderpump Rules ever,” a source told Us Weekly early in March.

Sandoval issued an apology that read more as a defense of his restaurant Schwartz & Sandy’s. He finally got it right with a do-over statement.

“I want to first and foremost apologize to everyone I’ve hurt through this process. Most of all, I want to apologize to Ariana,” Sandoval posted to Instagram in March. “I made mistakes, I was selfish and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love. No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly.”

Sandoval continued, “I can only imagine how devastating this has been for Ariana and everyone around us. I feel really horrible about that. My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana. I never meant to disappoint so many people, including our loving families and friends.”

Raquel issued a statement of her own via Instagram. She wrote, “I want to apologize for my actions and my choices foremost to Ariana, and to my friends and the fans so invested in our relationships. There is no excuse, I am not a victim and I must own my actions and I deeply regret hurting Ariana.”

Ariana was able to speak her peace at the reunion. Both solo with host Andy Cohen and to the group. Andy explained the set-up during his SiriusXM show, Radio Andy, last week.

“I did separate one-on-ones with Tom, Ariana, and Raquel so that I could get all of their stories just in conversation with me,” the Bravo executive explained. Andy re-asked, “A lot of the stuff in front of the group,” too.

“I also had things — I had my own concerns. I had my own things that I wanted to confront them about. Things I had noticed so I got to do that. So that’s how we started and then we brought them to the filming group,” Andy concluded.

Meanwhile, co-star Lala Kent confirmed on Amazon Live that security had to separate two individuals during filming. “I’m not gonna say who it was. I will say Andy [Cohen] got involved,” the Give Them Lala Beauty founder said. “He could hardly control it, so security got involved. I won’t say who was trying to brawl or whatever, but it was very heated the entire day.”

Season 10 continues to heat up and hints of Raquel and Tom’s affair are becoming more apparent.

Real Housewives Of New Jersey Star Melissa Gorga Explains Why She Can’t “Get Used To” Luis Ruelas

Real Housewives of New Jersey viewers are learning the details of what led to the disintegration of Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga’s relationship. The siblings, along with Joe’s wife Melissa Gorga, have been feuding for years.

While Teresa was convinced that she met her soulmate in Luis “Louie” Ruelas, some of her RHONJ co-stars saw an angry array of red flags. There was a controversial video of a men’s retreat. There was an alleged incident of domestic violence involving Luis and his ex-wife, Marisa Dimartino Ruelas, in 2012.

In the lead-up to Teresa’s over-the-top wedding, Melissa was hurt that she wasn’t asked to be a bridesmaid. Both Joe and Melissa were upset that Melissa’s mother, Donna Marco, didn’t receive an invite. Teresa claimed that she wasn’t close to Melissa’s family.

Ultimately, RHONJ fans know that the Gorgas decided to sit out Teresa’s big ~~hair~~ day. Some rumors about Melissa cheating were the final straw.

But in the most recent episodes, it is still before the Jersey royal wedding. There is an issue between Joe and Luis over a soured business deal. At Rachel Fuda’s brunch, Luis displayed some wild mood swings.

First, Luis decided to try and make peace. He pulled Melissa aside so that he could hold her hands. Luis wanted to apologize for not inviting her mom to the wedding. When Teresa tried to interject, he snapped at her.

Then, Luis decided to overshare with Joe that he wears his late father, Giacinto “Nonno” Gorga’s pajamas to bed to make Teresa’s daughters “feel safe.” Even if the pajamas were new, I don’t feel safe over here. And I am in a different state!

Meanwhile, Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp even shaded Luis holding Melissa’s hands on their podcast, Two T’s In A Pod. For once, I’m not annoyed by them.

According to Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Melissa delved into why she doesn’t feel comfortable with Luis on the RHONJ: After Show. She just doesn’t think that she “can get used” to Luis. Same, Melissa.

“It was strange, like his drastic forms of emotion are strange. It’s something that I don’t know that I can get used to without thinking something’s really weird about it,” Melissa explained.

She is also confused by Luis’ ever-shifting viewpoint. Melissa said, “It’s like you almost want to believe, ‘Oh, he’s hurt inside.’ But it doesn’t make sense if you listen to what he said earlier. He had a conversation with my nieces earlier saying we were horrible people. And then in the next breath, he’s telling Teresa she’s wrong.” She added, “Which is it?”

The Envy boutique owner also felt her “dramatic” chat was unnecessary since the “core” of the problem is between Joe and Teresa. “They have a tumultuous siblinghood,” Melissa stated.

Of course, one sibling disagreed with Melissa’s assessment of the situation. “I kept seeing my poor fiancé keep trying and trying and trying… I felt bad for him,” Teresa shared. “He got upset and was actually crying. He can’t believe the behavior from my brother.”

Maybe Dolores Catania is right. It is time for both siblings to move on.

TELL US- DO YOU AGREE WITH MELISSA THAT LUIS’ WILD EMOTIONS WERE “STRANGE?” WAS LUIS TRYING TO MAKE PEACE? DID THE GORGAS MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION TO SKIP TERESA’S WEDDING?

Real Housewives Of New York Alum Bethenny Frankel Slams Ozempic Craze

The Skinnygirl has weighed in on the Ozempic conversation, and she is not a fan.

Of course, staring into her front-facing camera and breathlessly ranting to her followers has become one of Bethenny Frankel’s favorite pastimes. Usually, she directs her ire toward the Kardashians and Meghan Markle. However, she switched it up this time and took a stab at Ozempic.

As Page Six reported, Bethenny recently took to her Instagram to share her opinion on the diet craze sweeping the nation. And if it were up to her, no one would be taking the type 2 diabetes drug for weight loss.

“This is going to be scary because very thin people who have body dysmorphia and eating disorders are going to be taking this,” Bethenny predicted in the video, which was captioned with the phrase “NOzempic.”

Bethenny isn’t the first Housewives star to criticize the drug for this reason. Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jackie Goldschneider recently shared a similar concern about the weight-loss drug. She called it an “eating disorder in a needle.” Ironically enough, Jackie has previously criticized Bethenny for the Skinnygirl brand and how she built a fortune through diet culture. So, who would have expected them to be on the same side of the Ozempic argument?

In her Instagram rant, Bethenny pointed out that the prescription is running “rampant” in affluent circles. Which we’ve been following closely in the Housewives world. For example, during recent Watch What Happens Live appearances, both Dolores Catania and RHONJ newbie Jennifer Fessler confessed to using the weight-loss drug to slim down.

Although we assume that these slimmed-down folks are losing weight under the guidance of a healthcare professional, Dr. Bethenny thinks it’s a slippery slope. She warned that she’s heard stories of the drug “affecting people’s personalities.”

“I had an altercation with someone that has a very mercurial personality and they were on Adderall previously, which is another thing people have done to lose weight and another thing [misproperly] used to lose weight, and this person would, like, snap,” the Skinnygirl founder explained.

Did Bethenny consider that maybe her friend was just hangry? Either way, Bethenny isn’t just basing her criticism on one negative interaction with a friend. She also noted how the weight loss trend reminded her of diet crazes from the past. One of her big concerns is that patients using Ozempic will discover adverse side effects later down the road. She warned, “This Ozempic thing is going to f–king go sideways and all the other copycat names, too.”

TELL US – DO YOU THINK BETHENNY SHOULD BE ADVISING HER FOLLOWERS AGAINST USING OZEMPIC? DO YOU FEEL THAT CELEBRITIES USING OZEMPIC ARE SETTING A BAD EXAMPLE?
