11 Shocking Housewife/Celebrity Relationships

The ladies of the Real Housewives are among our favorite celebrities because not only do they live a life of luxury in the spotlight, but unlike other celebrities these stars are an open book, especially when it comes to their love life. It’s not surprising to learn that many of the past and present cast members have had their fair share of celebrity run-ins, but the fact that some of these turned into romantic relationships might be a little more surprising! Here’s a look at 11 shocking star-studded relationships from Real Housewives‘ past!

11. Kyle Richards and C. Thomas Howell

Only Andy Cohen would be able to get Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Kyle Richards, to share the story of how she lost her virginity. Remembering that Richards was a child star long before she became a reality star, it’s not that surprising to learn her first boyfriend was somebody famous! While on his SiriusXM show, Radio Andy, Richards said she lost her virginity to famous actor C. Thomas Howell, who’s best known for his role in The Outsiders alongside Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon and Patrick Schwayze. He was her first serious boyfriend. The two dated for five years and even attended prom together!

Leave it to Sonja Morgan to divulge incriminating secrets from her romantic past on National television. The Real Housewives of New York City star revealed to Andy Cohen during a game of “Would Morgan Date Him” that she’d once engaged in a fling with the famous Jack Nicholson.

When asked if she would date the actor she said, “Have I?” and then followed it up with, “He’s so much fun. Who hasn’t? Don’t forget how old I am and don’t forget those days before cell phones — those old answering machines.”
