Viewers of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Orange County last season will recall Donn and Vicki Gunvalson renewing their 16-year-old wedding vows.
Viewers of the recent The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion special will recall Vicki foreshadowing there is trouble in paradise.
And viewers of court records now know that she has filed for divorce.
She released the following statement this week:
Donn has been an important part of my life and he will continue to be. Anyone who has gone through a divorce understands that this is a personal matter and a difficult time in our lives. It's amicable and we are not at odds with one another. It's just time. I would also like to thank all of you for the love and support that we have received.
This is the second time to divorce court for Gunvalson, who mentioned during the reunion special she isn't happy despite scenes from last season showing her trying to work things out with her mate.
Of course, she also got caught last spring smooching with a college student, which can always be a reconciliation killer.
With her cast mate Tamara Barney having recently separated from her smacky husband Simon Barney and original Real Housewife Jeana Keough having split from her jailed, boozy, ex-major league pitcher of a husband Matt Keough, perhaps the time has come for a spin-off.
The Real Ex-Wives of Orange County, anyone?
By the way, isn't it odd that these TRHOC “bombshells” drop with regularity in the weeks leading up to a new season on Bravo?
