Jennifer Armstrong Confirms Her Exit From The Show
On Friday, the 44-year-old star Jennifer Armstrong took to her Instagram post to announce her exit from the ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’. “I loved opening up about being a working mom on Real Housewives of Orange County,” wrote Armstrong. “I am so grateful to have had the privilege to talk about my father, my kids, and a real modern relationship on national television. My family and my work are the most important aspects of my life, so I am stepping away from RHOC and focusing on them.”
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out in support — especially from the working moms. Women can really have it all if you work for it. I believe in you, and I’ll still be here to chat about it with you I love inspiring people to be their best,” she added. “I am forever grateful for the friends I made, and the lovely people at @bravo & @evolutionmedia. Here’s to the next chapter, and I hope you’ll follow along for the journey. There are so many exciting things to come, so stay tuned.”
A few months prior to the announcement, Jennifer Armstrong filed for a legal separation from her husband Ryne Holliday. The two officially separated on September 8 last year citing “irreconcilable differences.” The pair shares three children – twins Vera and Vince, 10, and Robert Valor, 9.
“Ryne and I are taking some time apart to focus on ourselves and our children,” Armstrong told People in a statement in May. “While we are very sad, we are hoping that we will heal and be even stronger as a family. We ask for patience as we navigate this new chapter in our lives.” Since then, the couple has been “working on their relationship,” though they’ve sold their Newport Beach home.
What’s The Issue with Noella Bergener?
Noella Bergener also followed in the footsteps of Armstrong and posted her resignation on Instagram. She wrote, “After a wild season of ups and downs, I will not be returning to ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’. I am so grateful to Bravo, Andy Cohen, and Evolution Media for giving me this incredible platform to share my story. Thank you to all of the fans for all of the love and support during quite possibly the hardest year of my life. I am looking forward to brighter skies ahead, and can’t wait to share what’s next.”
Bergener, who was the first Black and openly bisexual housewife on the show, also went through a breakup recently. Her husband James Bergener filed for a divorce in Puerto Rico, in July 2021. Before tying the knot, the former couple was together for five years. They share a three-year-old son, James Jr. Noella. She also has a seven-year-old daughter named Coco from a previous relationship.
Fans are still anticipating what is the exact reason behind the exit of these stars from ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ all of a sudden.
