34 Messy Bravo Breakups We’re Still Nowhere Near Getting Over

Real Housewives of Orange County’s Braunwyn Windham-Burke started dating Victoria Brito after coming out as a lesbian in 2020. They called it quits in 2022 due to long distance, and according to Braunwyn, her romance with Victoria marked her first relationship with a woman. At the time, she got candid on her Instagram Stories after the split, saying, “My heart is just broken. The breakup with me and Vic, it’s hard…This was like my first longterm female relationship that just threw me for a loop. It’s normal.”

Larsa and Marcus had a tricky relationship from the jump, since the Real Housewives of Miami star (and ex of Scottie Pippen) faced tensions with his dad, Michael Jordan. After Larsa and Marcus appeared on The Traitors (lol), they were on-and-off until they finally called it quits in July 2024.

“You know what’s really crazy? When I was dating Marcus, my kids were like, ‘Stop getting back together and breaking up and just get off the ride,’” Larsa said on season 7 of Real Housewives of Miami. “That’s when I was like, ‘I need to get away from the situation. My kids think that it’s not good for me.’”

The bad: Erika divorced Tom, and then they were accused of embezzlement, womp.

The good: The breakup led to the best quote of all time (*clears throat*): "Tom’s house was broken into and he confronted the burglar and then had to go have eye surgery and then my son had to go over and help and then my son he rolled his car five times on the way home, yeah, I’m under a lot of stress."

David Foster and legendary almond mom Yolanda Hadid split in 2015, when she was undergoing treatment for Lyme disease. Details on the WHY of it all were sparse, but David recently set the record straight in his documentary.

"How can I leave a sick woman?" he said. "The fact of the matter is that was not the reason I left. It was for a different reason—which I will never disclose—that had nothing to do with her being sick."

SAY MORE.

Lemme set the scene:

Summer House season 8 had wrapped up filming. The cast was gearing up for what I'm comfortable calling the "wedding of the century" (I said what I said!). And then—eliciting a collective gasp—Carl Radke called up Bravo and had producers film his breakup with Lindsay Hubbard on camera.

Me, personally? I'm still unable to go one single day without talking about it.

For reasons that remain baffling, West Wilson broke up with Ciara Miller after his debut season of Summer House in 2023 because he 🙄 couldn’t commit 🙄.

To quote Paige DeSorbo, he fumbled the bag.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills literally began with Kelsey Grammer peacing out of Camille’s life—and before long, she was accusing him of infidelity while their divorce was played out on screen. But on the plus side, she got a $30 million settlement, so!

If the Library of Congress needs someone to write about this important moment in our nation’s history (aka when Tom “Worm With a Mustache” Sandoval cheated on Ariana Madix with her best friend Raquel/Rachel Leviss), I am...available.

Count Alex broke up with Countess Luann over *checks notes* email in 2009 when he was allegedly cheating with Princess Kemeria Abajobir Abajifar. I'll give you a moment to read that sentence again.

Fortunately, the split didn't stop her from living a life filled with gems, jets, silhouettes, and Champagne in the sky.

Things between Phaedra “Oh Lord Sweet Baby Jesus Not Ekin Su” Parks and Apollo Nida went south after Apollo, ya know, pled guilty to fraud and identity theft and was sentenced to eight years in prison. Pretty sure that'd put a wrench in any relationship.

It’s a classic love story: Two people fall in love, become reality stars, get convicted of fraud, go to prison, get deported (in Joe’s case), and get divorced.

First came love, then came marriage, then came awkwardly having to continue being on a show together post-divorce. But despite the perpetually emo vibes (Tom was down bad crying at the gym over Katie for a hot sec), these two have managed to stay friends. We love to see it!

FWIW, Paul fully blames Real Housewives for their messy divorce.

“I don’t think I’d ever do something like that again,” he toldE! Newsof being on the franchise. “I think being on a reality show, it did speed up our demise and divorce. I think it was going to happen anyway, eventually.”

I mean...he didn’t exactly give up reality TV, considering Botched has been on for a decade...but okay, buddy.

None of us saw Kyle and Mauricio’s split coming (except Medium Allison DuBois, of course), but I guess no relationship is safe in the Bravoverse! As for why they broke up, an Us Weekly source claimed back in 2023 that the “catalyst for the separation” was—as the outlet put it—Mauricio’s “wandering eye.”

This split was meSSSSy. To the point here the That’s So Raven star claimed her husband was a serial cheater—and accused him of “continued blatant disrespect and mental abuse.”

These two announced their breakup on the Vanderpump Rules reunion, and Rachel...did not hold back! Direct quote: “I’ve been having nightmares about our wedding day, and I think that’s a telltale sign that something is wrong.”

Cool cool cool.

These two separated in 2012, and their divorce wasn’t finalized until ALMOST AN ENTIRE DECADE LATER. Bethenny called the process a “nightmare,” which fair enough, since considering Jason was arrested after allegedly stalking and harassing her.

Jax and Stassi were one of the original cast members on Vanderpump Rules, but—in true VPR fashion—he cheated. Truly cannot with the men on this show.
