A Look at Your Favorite Real Housewives Back in the Day

Let’s face it: we all enjoyed the drama-filled franchise of Real Housewives. The show brought us some powerful female characters that developed into protagonists and antagonists from time to time. Regardless, these ladies went through a lot together: alliances, separation, back-stabbing, fights, highs and lows. Let’s take a second to remember these special ladies and look at how they’ve gone on with their lives after leaving the show.

Kyle Richards

Kyle Richards is the only cast member who has been on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since the very beginning. This show became a huge part of her career, and even her sister, Kim Richards, was a part of it.

Although RHOBH was what catapulted her into stardom, Kyle has always been involved in showbiz, being a child star on shows like Little House on the Prairie and in movies like Halloween.

Ramona Singer

You can’t spell drama without Ramona Singer. She’s one of the OG housewives on The Real Housewives of New York, and she has a charm of her own, to say the least. In 2014, she separated from her husband, Mario, post some rumors between her husband and Kasey Dexter.

Before RHONY came into her life, the businesswoman had launched a jewelry company by the name of True Faith Jewelry. Conveniently, she’s also written a book, Life on the Ramona Coaster.

Lisa Rinna

A part of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since 2014, Lisa Rinna is another housewife who got a taste of famousness after appearing on the show. She went on to take on leading roles on popular TV shows like Melrose Palace and Days of Our Lives and also dipped her toes in the world of broadway, talk show hosting, designing, and much more.

Her family is equally famous. She’s married to actor Harry Hamlin, and their daughters, Delilah and Amelia, are both models.

Vicki Gunvalson

Vicki Gunvalson’s struggle to keep her marriage to Donn Gunvalson was one of the highlights of The Real Housewives of Orange County. She did file for legal separation in 2010, but the financial terms got messy and weren’t resolved until 2014.

Vicki got remarried to a retired police officer, Steve Lodge, in 2019. After spending 14 years as a main cast, Vicki was demoted to “friend of” in season 14, and the audience wasn’t shocked when she announced her departure from the franchise.
