The Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) new season is here, and we’ve got your look at which OGs (old girls) are back and the new cast members.
Season 13 of the Real Housewives Of Orange County premiered on Bravo on July 16. The RHOC cast this season ranges from original OG star Vicki Gunvalson to not just one but two new girls on the Orange County block: Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter.
New Real Housewives Of Orange County cast members
Like so many Californians, Emily isn’t a native to the Left Coast. Instead, this RHOC newbie is originally from Ohio. Simpson is one busy woman, with a background as an attorney and party planner.
In addition, Emily has three children under age 5. The new Real Housewives Of Orange County star has twin boys, Keller and Luke, and a daughter, Annabelle. Simpson also is the stepmother to two stepdaughters from her husband Shane’s ex-wife.
Just like Emily, the other new cast member, Gina, is the busy mom to three children under the age of 5. She also originates from another area: Long Island.
Gina is a Long Island-native and also a mother of three kids under 5. Bravo described Kirschenheiter as keeping “her expectations low and her patience high.” And that patience will be needed because life in the Orange County as a Real Housewives star can be, well, tricky. Just ask any of the returning cast members.
