Tamra Judge Shares Photos from Her Camping Trip on the Weekend She Exited RHOC

Tamra Judge sadly announced to fans on Jan. 25 that she wouldn’t be returning to the Real Housewives of Orange County for season 15 after spending 12 years on the show.

Gina Kirschenheiter was the second Housewife to confirm she’d been asked back for season 15 of Real Housewives of Orange County, after the show dropped longtime cast members Vicki Gunvalson, 57, and Tamra Judge, 52. While she’s definitely not going to miss enemy Vicki, Gina will still be hanging out with pal Tamra off-camera. The two ladies played tennis on Feb. 19 and Tamra urged Gina to kick butt with the rest of the cast, which could likely include new members.

Tamra Judge‘s priorities immediately changed after learning that her ex-husband Simon Barney was battling stage 3 throat cancer, so much so that she says she was ready to exit Real Housewives of Orange County.

“Kelly Dodd is thrilled Tamra and Vicki are gone from the show,” a source EXCLUSIVELY revealed to HollywoodLife on Monday, February 17. “She feels like it’s going to make it more exciting and a little less stressful.

Looking good and feeling gorgeous. Tamra Judge, 52, has clearly been hitting the gym (at her business Cut Fitness more than likely) and the results are nothing short of absolutely spectacular to witness.

When photos of Joe Giudice out with other women at a resort in Mexico surfaced last month, one might have thought that Teresa Giudice's reaction would have been more along the lines of her Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 1 table flip. However, it appears that she has more of a "Namaste Teresa" attitude to the whole situation.

As you might recall, when the time came to throw Andy Cohen a baby shower last year to fete the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host ahead of the birth of his son, Benjamin Cohen, it was the duty of several of the Real Housewives OGs to step up and host the wild bash (video above).

Last year at this time, Andy Cohen had just become a first-time father to son Benjamin Allen Cohen. The Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host welcomed Ben via surrogate on February 4, 2019. And while we know that Andy was over-the-moon about bringing his baby boy in to the world, we hadn't heard much about the specifics of the day Ben was born — until now.

The OC may be abuzz with the news of Tamra Judge's departure from The Real Housewives of Orange County, but this may not be a goodbye forever, according to Andy Cohen.

Tamra Judge, 52, has been the name on everyone’s lips after she announced her departure from RHOC on Saturday, January 26, just one day after OG star Vicki Gunvalson, 57, did the same. She was apart of the show for 12 seasons, making her one of the longest-running full-time Housewives in any of the franchises history.

Tamra Judge may have turned in her orange, but that doesn’t mean she’s done being a Housewife — at least not according to Andy Cohen.

Vicki Gunvalson has officially left The Real Housewives of Orange County, but will she be keeping in touch with Andy Cohen? It sure sounds like it.

Demi Lovato’s parents gave her heart a break by being nothing but fully supportive when she came out as sexually fluid.

Laughing it off? Melissa Gorga revealed how Teresa Giudice felt about the photos of estranged husband Joe Giudice cozying up to other women in Mexico.

Since announcing that she's not returning to The Real Housewives of Orange Countyover the weekend, Tamra Judge has been laying relatively low — until she and Andy Cohen caught up in an Instagram Live chat. In addition to discussing why she’s stepping away (“I just need a little bit of privacy”) and addressing the fact that she unfollowed Andy on Instagram (“It was my instinct”), Tamra also revealed what she’s up to now.

Tamra Judge may not be coming back to The Real Housewives of Orange County as a Housewife, but when she recently spoke to Andy Cohen, he made it clear that she's always a member of the Bravo family. Tamra spoke with the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host in an Instagram Live conversation this week, where she hinted at what she's currently going through and why it might be best that RHOC cameras don't follow her life for the time being.

After it was confirmed that Tamra Judge was stepping away from The Real Housewives of Orange County, she decided she needed to take a break from following some folks on social media. When Andy Cohen called The Real Housewives of Orange County fitness guru up for an Instagram Live chat on Monday (January 27), she commented on briefly unfollowing him on Instagram.

Andy Cohen is always ready to get the tea from the Real Housewives. The Bravo producer did an impromptu interview with Tamra Judge following her departure from The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Like father, like son! Andy Cohen gushed over how much 11-month-old Benjamin looks like him on Monday, January 27 — and he has the photos to prove it.
