The Real Housewives of Miami
Bravo's reality franchise is heating up with six new ladies from the Sunshine State. The Real Housewives of Miami premieres Tuesday, Feb. 22 at 10 p.m.
Larsa Pippen
Larsa has four young kids with Chicago Bulls superstar Scottie Pippen, her husband since 1997. Per her Bravo bio, "When she's not busy turning her three little boys into star athletes, shopping for her 1-year-old princess, or firing nannies, Larsa is happy to spend a little time on herself."
Cristy Rice
Recently divorced from NBA star Glen Rice (she reportedly shared the unofficial title of "Hottest NBA Wife" with her castmate Larsa Pippen), the Miami native is now single and "living out loud." We don't know what that means either, but apparently it involves lots of dancing and relationship dramz. Cristy has three children and runs her own clothing store.
Alexia Echevarria
The Cuban native is executive editor of the Spanish-language lifestyle magazine Venue and lives in Miami Beach with her husband, Herman, and two sons from a previous marriage.
Marysol Patton
Divorced for 10 years, the Miami native runs her own public relations firm, but she might be upstaged on the show by her mother, Elsa, a "seer"/"witch" who bears an uncanny resemblance to Jocelyn Wildenstein.
Lea Black
The Texas native has a 9-year-old son with husband Roy Black, a criminal defense attorney who boasts Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Camille's ex Kelsey Grammer as one of his "noteworthy clients." (Hmmm...) Lea's community activism includes fundraising for Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
Adriana DeMoura-Sidi
The show's Brazilian Sofia Vergara is a full-time mom and art curator who, after a traumatic divorce, has a new fiancé, Fredric.
