Former ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ star Tamra Judge has given fans an update on how her friend Vicki Gunvalson has been coping with the news of her ex-fiancé, Steve Lodge’s engagement.
Real Housewives of Orange County: Tamra Judge Admits That Vicki Gunvalson Has Been Struggling With Her Ex-Fiancé Steve Lodge’s Engagement
Steve, for his part, decided to move on from Vicki by getting engaged to Janis Carlson. And given that Vicki had been dating Steve for around 6 years, it is understandable that she still has certain things to say about it all.
After all, the news of the engagement came just three months after Vicki and Steve decided to split up from each other.
In an interview on the “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast Tamra said: “Vicki is adjusting. She’s trying to understand it. She’s still hurt.
“She was like, ‘Wait, we were just dancing three months ago at the ranch and now he’s engaged and already planning his wedding.’”
And closer inspection, it is easy to see why Vicki might not be feeling comfortable at all. First of all, the fact that Steve had managed to move on so quickly suggested that there was clearly something not right within his relationship with Vicki.
It would naturally have made sense for him to take a break from dating just as Vicki has done so. Secondly, there is a significant age gap between Steve and his new lover.
He is 63-years-old, while Janice is just 37. As such, there is doubt about whether the pair are in it for the long run as well as the fact that will the relationship last?
Just when you thought that was difficult, the manner in which Vicki found out about Steve’s relationship was also a bitter pill to swallow.
Tamra added: “Sh [Vicki] knew probably right after he got engaged, because she has friends in Puerto Vallarta, [Mexico], and that’s where he did it.
“She was contacted [by someone in the area]…He posted rose petals and all this stuff.” The only thing that Vicki can do is stay close to her family and friends.
In this way, she will be able to move on from Steve and focus on the positive things that she has in her life. If you liked reading this article, then check out our other features on the Daily Soap Dish.
