Gretchen Rossi is set to return to The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19, Deadline has learned. The reality TV personality will join the cast as a “friend” in a part-time role as filming for the new season begins.

However, in the show’s eighth season Rossi — her final one as a series regular, as it would turn out — delivered an elaborate proposal to Smiley, and he said yes. Rossi and Smiley are still together, recently celebrated their 16th anniversary, and have a daughter, Skylar Gray Smiley, who was born in July 2019. They never did get married.

Gretchen Rossi is coming back to RHOC as a friend for Season 19. See the full cast list and find out when filming begins.
