It’s been nearly 7 years since the Real Housewives of Vancouver ended, and Bravo fans want to know what the stars have been up to since their debut on reality TV.

It didn’t take long for Canada’s Real Housewives to join Bravo’s dynasty. One of the versions was The Real Housewives of Vancouver, which initially aired in 2012. When it premiered, the series broke the Slice network’s record, thanks to the highest number of viewers (the premiere got 1.2 million hits). Unfortunately, the series only lasted 2 seasons and the housewives lost their fame when the show ended. Check out what they’ve been up to since 2013.

Jody Claman

Jody faced some hardship following the show’s ending. In March of 2013, Claman’s store, Glass House Couture, was vandalized by animal rights activists. As viewers of the show remember, Jody was fond of fur garments. She frequently wore them on the show and sold them in her boutique. “It’s ridiculous. I don’t believe in killing innocent animals,” Claman said, explaining that most of her products are vintage and sharing that the animals were treated ethically.

In June 2014, Claman’s daughter Mia Deakin was injured in a drive-by shooting at a gas station in Vancouver. Mia made frequent appearances on the Real Housewives of Vancouver and was often portrayed as the show’s wild child. Police suspected that the shooting may have been targeted because Deakin’s partner at the time (Jeffrey Chang) was a rumored gangster. After the incident, Mia and Jeffrey had a son together in April 2015. Jody was a grandmother but faced another tragedy when Chang passed away in July of 2015, at the age of 28. His cause of death was a drug overdose.

In January of 2015, Jody went through a tumultuous divorce. Her ex-husband Eran Friedlander won the lengthy legal battle and Claman was ordered to surrender $600,000. Following the court order, Jody desperately requested an extension to pay, stating, “All my properties have been mortgaged and I have bad credit.” Friedlander also requested that his legal fees be covered by Jody, which could cost up to $300,000. She lost custody of her second daughter to her ex. Unfortunately, it looks like Jody faced karma for her mean girl ways.

Mary Zilba

Beyond The Real Housewives of Vancouver series, Mary Zilba and Jody had some drama. Following Mia’s shooting incident, Zilba stated, “Ms. Claman knew or ought to have known that Ms. Deakin allegedly associates with criminals.” Jody and Mia filed a lawsuit against Mary for defamation of character. In her defense, the former Real Housewife stated that. “the words complained of… are not capable of being defamatory of the plaintiffs and are not in fact defamatory of the plaintiffs, either in their literal meaning, inferential meaning or innuendo meanings as alleged.”

Today, Mary owns and operates her own production company, LadyPants Productions. “Everyone thinks I’m on the shows and I’m not, I haven’t cast myself on anything,” Mary said, preferring to stay behind the camera now. She also started her own liquor brand called Love by Mary Zilba. Earlier this year, the pop star revealed that she tested positive for coronavirus.

Christina Kiesel

As popularized during the reality show, Christina earned her fortune by marrying two wealthy men and quickly divorcing them. The self-described gold digger spent time travelling the world following her departure from The Real Housewives of Vancouver. Apparently, Christina wanted to create a travel reality show following her exit from RHOV, but the deal fell through.

In February of 2016, Kiesel was arrested in Charleston, South Carolina, for third-degree domestic violence. No other information is available about the arrest or the incident. Christina reunited with Ronnie recently. Reportedly, it was the first time the two ladies were seen together publicly since filming the Real Housewives of Vancouver. “Though distance has kept us apart… We picked up just like it was yesterday… So fun reconnecting with you,” Kiesel wrote on Instagram.

Ronnie Negus

It turns out that Ronnie isn’t Canadian, she’s American. In 2016, it was reported that she had plans to move to Los Angeles to team up with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, although this never happened. Some were shocked to hear this news, given the thoughts she shared on The Real Housewives of Vancouver season 2.

In 2012, Ronnie’s daughter Remington experienced a choking incident that left her in a coma. Fortunately, Remington made a full recovery, but Negus commented that she regretted returning to film so quickly. “I really shouldn’t have been back on [the] second season, and I should have healed,” Ronnie explained. “I thought if I went back, it would be really good for me to get my mind off what had just happened to Remington… And truthfully, it was completely the wrong thing.”

Today, Ronnie is sober and routinely attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. She said that producers on the show encouraged the women to drink, which for Negus meant that “all hell breaks loose.” She also admitted that she got caught up in the drama of being on TV. “I don’t think I was portrayed all that well,” Negus said. “In these shows you have to have a formula. You have to have a victim. You have a bully and you have the one who drinks too much – me.” As of 2018, she was reportedly living near Lions Bay in British Columbia. “I like it out here. I really like it,” Negus said. It looks like Ronnie is at peace with her past and is loving her new lifestyle.

Reiko MacKenzie

After The Real Housewives of Vancouver ended, Reiko ended her marriage with Sun MacKenzie. Following her divorce, MacKenzie revealed that she believes love knows no gender. She had a brief relationship with DJ Kasha Kennedy, a female EDM musician from Los Angeles. Today, she’s an ally of the LBGTQ+ community. Known as one of the more savvy businesswomen from the reality show, Reiko launched a gluten-free beer called CORSA and is the creator of ReikoMommy, a blog.

Robin Reichman

Robin admitted that she joined the cast to distract herself from her own life. She was married to a Canadian man and relocated to Texas for their family. They had one child and the marriage dissolved shortly after she had twins. Tragically, one of the babies passed away three days after birth.

Ever since she lost one of her children, Reichman had been depressed. She said, “I didn’t have direction in my life and I kept wondering where I was going to go. So, I considered joining RHOV and thought that [my life] couldn’t get any worse than it already was, and at the very least it would take my mind off my own hellish reality.” Since the ending of the show, Robin is doing much better. It looks like it was a successful distraction that helped her find direction again.

Ioulia Reynolds

Ioulia decided to become sober following the ending of the RHOV. “I never knew that I had a problem,” she explained. “I thought this is how people live… upon me leaving my ex and my life falling apart a little, but I realized it comes down to me not being sober. Through Amanda putting the light to it, I was able to find it in myself [to get sober] and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made.”

As Reynolds said, she divorced her husband. Her now ex-husband Damien Reynolds was named in the 2016 Panama Papers tax evasion case. Following the split, she’s been rebuilding aspects of her life. Ioulia went back to school for graphic design and completed a fitness training certificate. She hopes to open her own fitness center one day. In addition, she’s found God and a new boyfriend. “Seeing myself as that persona made me want to change,” Ioulia said. It appears that this housewife successfully did just that.

Amanda Hansen

Since the end of the show, Amanda has taken up her biker lifestyle again. She spends her days on her motorcycle with her friends and family. Hansen is also a brunette now. “I found the show was just something that wasn’t me… I’m trying to figure out what I want from life,” Hansen said. “I’m single now. That’s been interesting. It’s been a series of dating disasters. There’s not enough men in the city!”

Amanda and Ioulia are now good friends and help each other with everything in life. “We really didn’t get along during filming. We had some good fights but we just got to be really good friends… like sisters,” Hansen explained. As for the other RHOV, Amanda said, “There’s lots of bad blood. Do I wish any of them bad? No, not at all. Would I ever want to hang out with them? Hell no!”
