Vicki Gunvalson Says She Has A New "Incredible" Boyfriend

Love is in the air! Following her drama filled split from Steve Lodge, Vicki Gunvalson has officially found a new man. We all know by now that Vicki and Steve made their split public back in September of 2021. But sh** hit the fan when Steve announced that he was engaged just two months later. The former Real Housewives of Orange County star didn’t take it well, and lashed out in the press.

But, Vicki is a romantic at heart. When she isn’t chasing her exes out of a restaurant that is. She used a matchmaker and went out on a few dates. While they didn’t work out, I guess one finally stuck! As reported by Page Six, Vicki recently appeared on Access Hollywood’s “Housewives Nightcap” to gush about her new man. Said Vicki, “I am so excited. He is the first man that has ever really treated me to anything. He is like, ‘I got that, you’re not paying for that.’ I am like, ‘Are you real?’ He is frickin’ incredible.” Why do I feel like I have heard this from Vicki before? Oh, because I have. Anyway.

Vicki didn’t want to reveal her new man’s name, but dropped a teaser that he’s from Texas. She went on, “I gave him an 18 [-point] list of what I want in my person. ‘Cause, you know, in all the books you read, in all the self-help books, you manifest your person.” Gosh, she sounds so fun to date.

Not sure if it’s the same list but she previously revealed some of the essentials she needs in a man. Which included some of the following: “good teeth,” “non-smoker,” “family man,” “self-sufficient.” Also, “must love Jesus.” We all remember how Steve, the alleged cheater, presumably didn’t love Jesus. She said of his alleged deception, “No Christian man would do what he’s done.”

As for her new beau, Vicki said, “I manifested him. He has everything [on the list] but one [thing]. Including wearing cowboy boots and loving country-western music. He doesn’t have a boat.” Hmmm….what went wrong with her manifestation that she couldn’t conjure up a boat? Sounds like she’s settling.

Vicki excitedly continued, “My heart’s full and it’s happy. That is how it is in the beginning anyways. My tank is full!” How many more times will we have to endure that phrase? Either way, Vicki now considers herself equipped to recognize red flags, thanks to her previous failed relationships. She concluded, “So I know now to look for those red flags that I didn’t before. I didn’t handle them before. I just stayed. To me, you get committed and you stay. You fix the problem. You don’t leave. And now, what I’m realizing [is] you can leave. You don’t have to stay when there’s red flags.”
