Divorce Season Continues For Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives’
The divorce train elongates for “Real Housewives” stars.
It is no longer “’til death do us part” as more Bravo stars are pulling the plug on their unions, the latest being Sai De Silva. The “Real Housewives of New York” star’s husband of about nine years has reportedly filed for divorce for reasons yet unknown.
Many “Real Housewives” stars have consistently made headlines with news of failed relationships, drama, and marriages. However, a “RHOSLC” star flipped the switch earlier this year, bringing positive light to Bravo stars with her appearance at Capitol Hill.
Another ‘Real Housewives’ Star’s Marriage Bites The Dust
De Silva’s husband, David Craig, has reportedly filed for divorce on Thursday morning in New York City. If the filing pushes through, it would bring an end to their almost nine-year union. Information as to what prompted his decision remains undisclosed, as Craig is known for his love for privacy.
The lovebirds have known each other for almost two decades. They met in 2009 in Costa Rica while the reality TV star was on vacation and Craig was on a business trip. De Silva previously recalled their meet-cute moment, noting that she was pretty hungover when they met, but he caught her attention with his sense of humor.
The pair tied the knot in 2017 after welcoming their two children: a daughter, London, born in 2011, and their son, Rio, in 2017. Over the years, the “RHONY” star has repeatedly praised Craig for being a very involved father. TMZ notes that fans may get a fair share of the tea as De Silva, along with other castmates, is shooting the 16th season of the hit show. Craig has appeared on the reality TV set a few times and has also made rare appearances on his wife’s socials.
Sai De Silva’s Divorce Will Take The Spot From Brit Eady’s
The news of De Silva’s divorce now takes the spotlight from another Bravo star from a different franchise. Earlier this year, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star made headlines after she officially ended her marriage to Michael Cunningham. The union lasted five years, and the reality TV star shared that she hopes they remain on good terms despite their split.
Before the split became official, the pair had been estranged for a while, as the court documents listed their date of separation as December 1, 2025. Eady shared that divorce was the last resort as they had tried to salvage the union to no avail.
The Blast also reported that, as regards to their property, the reality TV star and Cunningham agreed to sell their home in Fulton County and divide the proceeds as they deemed fit. There was no issue of child support as the recent exes did not welcome any kids during their marriage; however, Eady expressed that she would not like to pay spousal support or alimony.
Other Bravo Stars With Divorce Drama
The topic of divorce on the network has existed right from the beginning across different franchise series. The reality TV stars make headlines based on how messy the divorce gets and the drama that takes place during the process. This is not to say that some Bravo couples do not stick together over time. Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin Arroyave called it quits after thirteen years of marriage.
Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann from “Real Housewives of Atlanta” were married for twelve years before severing ties in 2021 due to messy financial constraints. Another notable couple who had a tumultuous relationship and breakup was Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers, who were married for six years before calling it quits.
“RHONY” star Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy separated in 2012 but did not make their split official until almost a decade later. During the time their divorce was still in the works, Hoppy was arrested for allegedly stalking and harassing his ex.
Inside Some Jaw-Dropping Bravo Stars’ Divorce Cases
Danielle Staub and Marty Caffrey from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” made a Bravo record for divorcing just 10 months after they said, “I do.” The TV personalities went through a rocky patch involving Caffrey evicting his then-wife from their home.
Cosmopolitan shared that the breakup ordeal isn’t tied to only heterosexual couples. “RHOC” star Braunwyn Windham-Burke, who came out as lesbian in 2020, started dating Victoria Brito. Two years later, she went through a tough, heartbreaking split due to long distance.
Some “Real Housewives” do not walk away empty after dissolving their union. Camille Meyer accused her ex- husband, Kelsey Grammer, of infidelity during their divorce process and eventually walked away with a $30 million settlement.
Another one for the books was the love story between Teresa and Joe Giudice from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” The former lovers fell in love, made names in the industry, then got convicted of fraud and sentenced to serve jail time. Joe got deported due to his fraud crimes, and ultimately, they got divorced.
The Recent Silver Lining For Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives’
A reality TV star made waves earlier this year after she stepped onto Capitol Hill to testify on behalf of the International Franchise Association. Angie Katsanevas from “RHOSLC” gave her voice to address Congress in support of franchise businesses. This marked a historical moment for the network, as no other star had ever testified before Congress before Katsanevas.
Her advocacy for business geared towards helping women and immigrants sent a message of positivity from reality TV stars, who are often pigeon-holed for drama. The Blast shared that although another Bravo star, Lisa Vanderpump, had made an appearance before lawmakers, she did not testify but pushed against the Yulin Dog Meat Festival in 2018.
Katsanevas’ message hits close to home as she operates a salon franchise and is also a child of immigrants. Her parents came from Greece chasing the American dream, and she hoped to give the opportunity to other people with a similar background.
