Slice Stars You Didn’t Know Were Friends

Dorinda Medley and Caroline Stanbury have a friendship that goes back to the days when Dorinda was living in London with her late husband, Richard Medley.

Just recently, Dorinda and some of her RHONY friends jetted off to Dubai to pay the Ladies of London star a visit. Hopefully someone was filming this because it is the crossover episode dreams are made of! (Fun fact: that handsome man between Tinsley and Carole? That's former RHOC star Meghan King Edmonds' little brother, RJ King.)

If you need more evidence of this friendship, on New Year’s Eve 2017 Dorinda surprised her fans when she stepped out in a head to toe “Caroline inspired” makeover. Dorinda even used Caroline's longtime makeup artist Luke Henderson to to get Caroline's look - and she certainly made it nice!

Here's a mashup we weren't expecting! The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kandi and Cynthia were spotted with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne to film an appearance on a show. We're still waiting for all the details of their encounter, but it seems like the ladies really hit it off. Kandi shared a photo of herself with Erika and wrote "Finally met [Erika] today & I love her already! I didn’t know that she was from Atl. No wonder she’s so cool!"

RHOA could use another blonde now that Kim Zolciak-Biermann is done with the ladies...maybe Atlanta-born Erika could fill in!

Long before they became Real Housewives, Bethenny and Kyle had a friendship that dated back over 25 years. They first met while Bethenny was waiting tables at La Scala Boutique in Beverly Hills. Housewives fans were even treated to a crossover episode in season 6 of RHOBH when Bethenny invited Kyle and her cast-mates to dinner in the Hamptons. The two friends have also been known to post a throwback photo every once in awhile, such as this one, which Bethenny captioned “This photo was taken before electricity”.

No one understands a good crossover storyline like Stassi Schroeder, who makes an appearance during the first season of Summer House, along with her costars Katie, Kristen, and Scheana. It’s all thanks to her friendship with Ashley and Lauren Wirkus, who invited Stassi to celebrate her birthday in Montauk during an episode of Vanderpump Rules. On her friendship with the Wirkus twins, Stassi has said “You know how you meet some people and just click? We had this one really fun night out and now we're just good friends”. Lauren posted this photo of her and Stassi at New York Fashion Week with the caption “Sister from another mister @stassi just missing our triplet @ashleynwirkus”.

Original Housewives have to stick together! Although Nene hails from Atlanta and Teresa from New Jersey, this pair have proven to be close friends over the years. Teresa has shown support for Nene’s acting career, having brought her kids to see Cinderella on Broadway, and Nene has spoken out about being a source of advice for Teresa during her and her husband’s prison sentences.

Eileen and Lisa had great chemistry during their time together on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and that’s because their relationship is totally genuine. The pair have been friends since the early 90’s when they both began work on the long running soap opera Days of Our Lives.

The worlds of Potomac and Atlanta collided this past year when Gizelle Bryant hosted a pop up shop at Nene’s SWAGG Boutique in Atlanta for her makeup line. As pictured, Nene’s RHOA co-star and real life friend Cynthia Bailey also stopped by the event. Before the premiere of The Real Housewives of Potomac, Nene revealed to Andy Cohen that she and Gizelle had met through Gizelle’s ex husband who was a pastor, and that the RHOP girls better “bring it”.

Stassi has been known from time to time to trade her Vanderpump Rules friends for a few of the cast members from Southern Charm, having visited both Craig Conover and Naomie Olindo in Charleston, as well as buddying up with Shep Rose on Instagram.

It all began when Craig called into Stassi’s podcast and the two bonded over the similarities between Vanderpump Rules and Southern Charm. She even appeared next to Shep in a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live. When asked about whether or not she finds Shep attractive she coyly replied “He is a very handsome man”.

RHONY's Sonja Morgan and Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles's Josh Flagg are very close pals. Sonja has described Josh as the male version of herself and even attended Josh's wedding this past year where she was seated next to Kyle Richards and Eden Sassoon.

These two go way back. Having first met in acting class, Lisa Rinna, of RHOBH, and former OC Housewife, Heather Dubrow, have been friends for roughly 20 years. Although they're now in different area codes, Lisa has appeared with Heather on a past episode of RHOC, as well as on Heather’s podcast.

Cynthia and Kenya of The Real Housewives of Atlanta hang out both on screen and off, frequently posting pictures together on social media and showing love and support for one another. They appear to have one of the most genuine off screen friendships in the Housewives franchise, which is why we can't wait to get to the bottom of why Cynthia was left out of Kenya's recent wedding.

These two moguls are friends and frequently share pictures of each other hanging out on social media. Fredrik has even appeared on RHONY to help Bethenny sell her Tribeca apartment. On an episode of The Daily Dish podcast, Fredrik spoke about his friendship with Bethenny and their new show, Bethenny & Fredrik, saying that “The real estate is there. It's like a backdrop... but it's very real in the sense that it's her life, it's my life, it's a lot of that. And then our friendship, because I love her, and she loves me...we fight. She's so freaking annoying. She's a freak...but she's a genius.”

On Thanksgiving, The Real Housewives of Toronto star, Kara Alloway, posted this photo with The Real Housewives of Dallas’s LeeAnne Locken, along with the caption “Spent Canadian Thanksgiving with my beautiful friend”. Kara has been a big supporter of LeeAnne since the debut of RHOD, and the two occasionally tweet positive messages back and forth.

Many people are surprised to discover that former Housewives Kristen Taekman (RHONY) and Brandi Glanville (RHOBH) are close friends. In fact, they are so close that they were bridesmaids in each other’s weddings. Kristen has also publicly stuck up for Brandi. In a past RHONY reunion episode, she said that Brandi had been misrepresented during her final season and was going through some rough times.

Everyone’s favourite house flipper, Jeff Lewis, and Real Housewife of Orange County, Shannon Beador, are truly BFFs. The pair were introduced by Shannon’s fellow OC housewife Tamra Judge over cocktails on Laguna Beach and have been inseparable ever since.

It’s not totally shocking that these two are friends, considering they do live in close proximity to one another. The ladies have posted several pictures together on social media, but if you need more proof, look no further than the season 8 reunion of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, where Melissa’s phone rang mid-taping and it was none other than Ramona Singer on the line.
