Meet the housewives:
Working actress and stay-at-home mother Heather Dubrow joined the cast in Season 7. Married to prominent Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Terry Dubrow, they have four children, 11-year-old twins Nicholas and Maximillia, 8-year-old Katarina, and 4-year-old, Collette. Heather and Terry sold their home and are living in a rental house for two years while construction continues on their mega mansion. With Terry busy working on Botched, the couple struggles to balance family time and their increasing professional demands.
Fearless and confident Kelly Dodd has a mouth as big as her heart. Originally hailing from Arizona, her fiery Latin lineage and unfiltered opinions definitely bring the heat to the OC. With a penchant for gossip and drinking champagne, there is never a dull moment around her. After a rocky period in her marriage, she recently reconciled with her husband Michael, who cashed out of major tech toy company and is now home, always underfoot. Family is what's most important to this stay-at-home mom, who shares her 4-story oceanfront mansion with 9-year old daughter Jolie, her younger brother Eric and her mom Bobbi. Among the ladies, Kelly finds herself in hot water when she befriends outcast Vicki despite warnings from her bestie Meghan.
Wife of baseball superstar Jim Edmonds, Meghan hails from St. Louis and is new to the OC. Her towering height and model good looks might intimidate, but she won’t let anyone take her up to bat. As Jim’s third wife, she is closer in age to her 17-year old step-daughter Hailey, than to her husband. With Jim often away for work, Meghan has been thrown into the role of instant stepmom and is not only struggling to find her place in her newly formed family, but also within the OC social scene.
Born and raised in Southern California, Shannon Beador joined the cast in Season 9 bringing her unflinching honesty and unconventional ways. She adheres to a holistic lifestyle, keeping her house a toxic free zone. When she is not busy raising her three daughters, 13-year-old Sophie and 10-year-old twins, Stella and Adeline, Shannon spends her free time with her energy specialist and a Feng Shui advisor trying to rid herself of any built up anger and resentment. Shannon prides herself on being an open book and with her 14-year marriage to husband David still a work in progress, she will do whatever it takes to keep her family together.
Tamra Judge, formerly Tamra Barney, is a Southern California native from Glendora, CA, who joined the cast in Season 3. She has four children, 28-year-old Ryan, and three children with her ex-husband. Finding herself on the outs last season, Tamra is looking to reinvent herself and repair her relationships in sometimes surprising ways. After longing for another baby, her prays were answered as she celebrated the birth of her first grandchild and coined the nickname Tam-ma. She is still working at CUT Fitness with Eddie, but the daily grind of working and living with her husband is beginning to take a toll on her.
The "OG of the OC," Vicki Gunvalson has appeared on The Real Housewives of Orange County since Season 1. Last season left Vicki on the outs with the ladies, but with Brooks finally out of the picture; she tries to get her friendships back on track and helps her daughter Briana move back to Orange County.
