Real Housewives of Orange County is heading back to Bravo for an eighth season this Spring and with Tamra planning a wedding and Gretchen for babies, it’s sure to be an action packed season. Earlier this morning, the trailer for the long-awaited season was released and in it was plenty of drama and.. a new ‘Wife!

Gretchen Rossi has been talking about wanting babies for a while now, and although they have been the target of several pregnancy and engagement rumors, neither of those two things have happened yet. In fact, The Real Housewives of Orange County star can’t get pregnant because she and Slade have yet to take one very important step.

Last night, the Real Housewives put their drama aside for a good cause — and they looked amazing doing it. Tamra Barney and Gretchen Rossi of Orange County and Brandi Glanville, Kyle Richards, and Camille Grammer of Beverly Hills attended the Family Equality Council’s Awards Dinner in Los Angeles to show their support for the equal rights for parents and families across the globe.

Real Housewives of Orange County‘s eighth season has been in production for a few months now which has fans dying to know when it will be returning to Bravo. With the possibillities of Gretchen being pregnant and Tamra getting married on camera, the masses are more excited than ever to catch up with the ladies of O.C. so when will it premiere?

Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley have been together for several years now, but for numerous reasons (as addressed onscreen on The Real Housewives of Orange County), the couple continues to balk at taking the next big step and committing to walking down the aisle together. Now Gretchen is revealing that the couple may be turning the age-old rhyme “First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage” on its ear as she announces the two are trying to have a baby!

Tamra Barney is getting closer and closer to walking down the aisle. After celebrating her bachelorette party in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last month, Tamra has now taken the next step in her journey to the altar. On November 30, she and the ladies of The Real Housewives of Orange County, including Lauri Waring-Peterson and Alexis Bellino, attended a wedding dress fitting, all of which taped for the upcoming season of the show.

Remember that lawsuit that Gretchen Rossi filed against Jay Photoglou like years and years ago? Well, the case finally went to court and the judge ruled in favor of the Real Housewives of Orange County star and has ordered Photoglou to pay her over $500,000 in damages for trashing her to the media.

Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley have been together for over three years and although they are completely committed to each other, the Real Housewives of Orange County star has been holding out on taking the next step — until now.

Real Housewives of Orange County star Slade Smiley has been the target of plenty accusations both on screen and off. Even with all of that, Gretchen Rossi’s partner has been a trooper. He’s kept his head held high and remained focused on his goals. What are they, you ask? Slade recently took time to answer some burning questions, including why he has had such a hard time paying child support and what his new job is!
