Vicki Gunvalson and Shannon Beador are ready to whoop it up this season on The Real Housewives of Orange County.
“Breaking news!! 😉 Laughing and whooping it up with my sister @shannonbeador 🥂,” Gunvalson, 63, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, February 17, while posing with her costar and friend. “Wild, I know. And yes… I do have a limp. Still didn’t stop me from having fun!”
In the joint Instagram post, Gunvalson and Beador, 61, playfully posed for a variety of pictures as they enjoyed dinner at OLea in Newport Beach, California.
The post comes after the pair were the subject of a Deuxmoi sighting. According to a Bravo fan, Gunvalson and Beador were spotted filming season 20 of The Real Housewives of Orange County in Puerto Vallarta where things allegedly got dramatic.
“Fighting and screaming at the beach, falling into the sand,” the eyewitness said. “Oh and Vicki has a limp.”
Ultimately, all will be revealed when The Real Housewives of Orange County season 20 airs on Bravo later this year.
The historic season will feature some casting changes after Katie Ginella announced in January that she was leaving the show.
“After two seasons as a cast member on RHOC, the network has decided to move forward with season 20 without me,” Ginella, 41, wrote via Instagram on January 9. “While disappointing, it’s not entirely surprising after seeing how season 19 played out. I’m incredibly grateful for the love and support I received — it was seen, felt and deeply appreciated. Representation matters, and I’m proud to have shown up authentically, even when it wasn’t easy. This chapter may be closing, but my voice and my story don’t end here.”
Weeks later, Variety reported that Gretchen Rossi would also not be returning for the Bravo reality show’s milestone season.
Although Bravo does not comment on casting, Andy Cohen previously revealed at BravoCon 2025 that Gunvalson would be rejoining the show she helped launch in 2006.
Gunvalson will also be a main cast member in The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th. Bravo teased that the show will follow a group of beloved Housewives as they embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, making their way through some of the most memorable locations in the franchise’s history.
“So much love for these ladies. Being surrounded by these incredible women, each an OG in her own city, means more to me than I can say,” Gunvalson wrote via Instagram on February 1 alongside her costars. “What started as a little idea turned into something that changed reality TV forever, and these women helped make Housewives the iconic franchise it is today. We whooped it up hard, and this girls’ trip season is one you all are going to LOVE. Forever grateful to be a part of this journey with such strong, amazing women 🤍.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County is streaming now on Peacock. A premiere date for season 20 and The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th has yet to be announced.
