The Famous Husbands of the Real Housewives

Who? He's the ex-husband of RHOBH's Denise Richards

Famous, like how? He's the son of actor Martin Sheen, but broke out of his father's shadow almost immediately with roles in films like Platoon and Wall Street.

K, but how famous? Do we really need to answer this? Charlie was once the highest-paid actor on TV, earning $1.8 million per episode of Two and a Half Men. Charlie has been an consistent tabloid fixture thanks to his colourful personal life. He's a serious celebrity. 9/10

Who? The ex-husband of RHOBH Housewife Brandi Glanville.

Famous, like how? Eddie works a lot as an actor, but he's not really known for anything in particular. Except for cheating on Brandi with LeAnn Rimes!

K, but how famous? He's a big tabloid star, but a total B-lister in terms of Hollywood. 6/10

Who? Um, it's Kelsey Grammer. You know him.

Famous, like how? He's Frasier! Like, of Frasier.

K, but how famous? Pretty much the most famous you can be. But also: he was a real jerk to his RHOBH ex-wife, Camille. So we hate him and we think you should too! Sorry, Kelsey, it's #girlcode! NEXT! 10/10

Who? He's RHOA's Shamari DeVoe's husband

Famous, like how? He's topped the charts as a member of New Edition and the hip hop group Bell Biv Devoe.

K, but how famous? He's been honoured with Lifetime Acheivement Awards for his group New Edition, and everyone remembers Bell Biv Devoe's song Poison. Ronnie and his groups pioneered the "new jack swing" sound of the early '90s – how many people can say they changed the sound of music? 8/10

Who? He's the ex-husband of RHOA Housewife Lisa Wu.

Famous, like how? Keith is a successful R&B singer with 11 albums under his belt.

K, but how famous? He's not a breakout crossover star, but he gets plenty of love in the R&B world and he's way more famous than Lisa, or her other ex, Ed Hartwell. Soul Train gave him a Lifetime Achievement Award. What else do you need? 7/10

Who? Exactly! No, JK: Chris is the husband of Kim Fields of RHOA.

Famous, like how? He's a theatre actor.

Famous, like how? As a songwriter, David's written for everyone from Madonna to Celine Dion, JLO, Whitney Houston and Toni Braxton.

Who? The husband of RHOBH Housewife Lisa Rinna.

Famous, like how? Everyone loved him in the 80s on L.A. Law. And he was in Veronica Mars and Mad Men, too!

Famous, like how? He was a child star on shows like Bonanza, then a pro tennis player, and now he's a celebrity poker player.

Famous, like how? He played pro baseball for nine seasons, then became a scout, minor league coach and team executive.

Famous, like how? Eric played in the NBA for more than a decade and he's now an assistant coach for Florida Atlantic.

K, but how famous? He had a good run in the NBA, but other than RHOA, he's not really known outside basketball. Low end of the fame scale. 3/10

Famous, like how? He played in the NFL for 14 years. They call him "Head-Butt Bob" in the sports world!

K, but how famous? Far as pop culture goes, he's mostly known for appearing on RHOA. But he also scores a couple extra points for owning a studio in Atlanta used by Snoop, Beyonce, TLC, Madonna and Cher. 5/10

Famous, like how? He played in the NBA for seven years, and now he's the head coach for Coppin State University in Baltimore.

Famous, like how? He's a two-time All-Pro player who played in the NFL for 12 years.

Who? He was the husband of RHONY Housewife Sonja.

Famous, like how? He's a Morgan, one of the most famous names in banking.

K, but how famous? The Morgans are a total dynasty, but John is no J.P. The name Morgan counts for a lot in the society world, but in pop culture, John's just a footnote. 2/10

Who? He was married to RHONY Housewife LuAnn.

Famous, like how? He's a Count! He comes from the family who built the Suez Canal.

Famous, like how? He's best known as the real-life lawyer who helped the real-life Erin Brockovich.
