Real Housewives Of Orange County

Season 10 Vuzu (*116) 19:00 & 20:00 Reality

Vicki Gunvalson is “the OG of the OC” (OG meaning “original girl”). She’s the sole remaining housewife from season 1 of Real Housewives Of Orange County (2006-current) and in 10 years, Vicki’s gone through plenty of ups and downs, especially in the romance department. But she’s bounced back and may just try to get third time lucky with a new lover.

The 54-year-old has two kids with 1

ex-hubby Michael Wolfsmith: son Michael Jr (31) and daughter Briana (30). Vicki divorced Michael in 1991 after an abusive eight-year marriage.

She blames The Real Housewives 2

show for ruining her 16-year marriage to second hubby Donn Gunvalson in 2010. Vicki says that the pressure of the spotlight caused her to withdraw from him and he couldn’t handle it – they divorced in 2014. Despite rumours of a reconciliation in 2015, Donn said “there’s absolutely zero chance!”

She started dating businessman 3

Brooks Ayers in 2011 despite warnings from his exes about Brooks being a gold-digging conman. Her best friend and Housewives co-star Tamra Judge even stopped speaking to her… but in 2015 it was revealed that Brooks forged medical certificates about having stagethree cancer. They split in July 2015.

In April this year, Vicki started dat4

ing PR guru Steve Chavez Lodge, who’s kept out of the limelight. Briana has given her mom’s man the thumbs up and says Vicki, “She really likes him and it’s really neat to have a family relationship, so I like it.”

She wasn’t sure that she’d return 5

for another season of the show because of how invasive it is, but Steve, who’s never watched an episode, convinced Vicki to sign on.
