Who Is Natalie Swanston Fuller? ‘RHOBH’ Newbie’s Ex Managed Spice Girls
Natalie Swanston Fuller made an immediate splash on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15.
The new “friend of the Housewives” — whose Bravo bio describes her as an “entrepreneur, creative consultant and mother of three” — made a grand entrance at her friend Rachel Zoe’s dinner party in the January 22, 2026, episode, “Headlines and Heartbreak,” wearing a black lace cutout dress and $1,650 Loewe ankle-strap pumps.
“I got out of the car, and I’m like, ‘I’m really sorry if everyone sees my vagina,’” Natalie immediately joked, with cast member Erika Jayne assuring her, “I think you should show your vagina as much as you want!”
Zoe announced that her friend was firmly in “her new era,” as she’d recently split from her “soon-to-be ex-husband,” American Idol creator and former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller. (The former couple share three daughters: Grace and twins Josephine and Ruby.)
While some Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars have been a part of the Bravo hit since season 1 — looking at you, Kyle Richards — others have proved that diamonds aren’t forever.

Natalie Swanston Fuller Married Simon Fuller in 2008
Natalie Swanston Fuller married her now-estranged husband, Simon Fuller, in Napa Valley, California, in 2008, per Harper’s Bazaar. Natalie channeled old Hollywood glamour by wearing a couture Roland Mouret wedding dress.
The couple exchanged vows under an 80-year old olive tree that was transplanted from their Beverly Hills home by their architects, Stephania Kallos and Abigail Turin.
“They bought us the tree as a wedding present and craned it up to Napa,” Natalie told Harper’s Bazaar at the time. “It was built into the deck where we got married. Then they brought it back and we planted it in our yard. So, the tree was at our wedding.”
Simon is the entertainment mogul who managed the Spice Girls in the 1990s and later revolutionized reality TV with the creation of American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. At various points, Simon also managed David Beckham, Amy Winehouse and Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton through his company 19 Entertainment.

The Fullers split their time between their homes in Beverly Hills, London, New York City and the South of France, depending where they were working at any given moment.
“We spend about four months in the States, a month in France in August, and a month in January somewhere for the holiday,” Natalie revealed in 2010. “It’s amazing to always be happy where you are and excited about it.”
Simon added, “One of the secrets to our marriage is we are very rarely apart. We are lucky enough to have houses all over the world, so when we travel, we can still have a home life. It never feels like I am traveling for work.”
Natalie Swanston Fuller Filed for Divorce From Simon Fuller in 2025
Us Weekly broke the news in December 2025 that Natalie Swanston Fuller was in the middle of a divorce battle with estranged husband Simon Fuller, who is worth a reported $600 million.
Natalie cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split when she filed for divorce in May 2025, per court documents obtained by Us. She proposed joint custody for their three daughters, though physical custody was listed as “to be determined” in her petition.
Her legal team asked the court to award Natalie spousal support while also terminating Simon’s right to collect support. Natalie requested that her husband pay her legal fees.
Natalie acknowledged that she signed a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot in 2008. Simon did not reference the prenup when he responded to the divorce filing weeks later.
Simon objected to Natalie’s request for spousal support. His lawyers claimed that “the true nature and extent of community assets and debts are unknown to [Simon] at this time.”

Natalie confirmed to The Daily Dish in January 2026 that she was also on the verge of expanding her personal brand.
“I have a brand I’m launching, which I’m really excited about,” she teased. “There’s a possibility that I might be doing a champagne brand as well, which is very exciting. I think I just want to survive the reunion and then go celebrate.”

Natalie Swanston Fuller Hinted at Drama With the ‘RHOBH’ Cast
