The Real Housewives franchise has seen several couples renew their vows on the show only to end up in divorce later, contributing to what is known as the “reality TV curse.”
One instance of this curse was when Dorit Kemsley revealed that her co-star Kyle Richards warned her against renewing her vows on the show, citing that couples who did so ended up getting divorced.
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky, who were together for 27 years, announced their split in July 2023, marking one of the most surprising breakups in Housewives history.
For years, The Real Housewives of Dallas was the only franchise without any splits until The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City premiered in 2020.
The first post-show split in the franchise occurred in May 2021 when Kary Brittingham announced her divorce from Eduardo Brittingham during the season 5 reunion.
In April 2026, The Real Housewives of New York City star David Craig filed for divorce from his wife, Sai De Silva, after almost ten years of marriage.
