Whether or not Gretchen Rossi, 34,and her longtime boyfriend, Slade Smiley, ,will ever tie the knot has been a main storyline on Real Housewives of Orange County. It looks like there will be a RHOC wedding in the future, because the couple is finally heading to the altar!

Gretchen Rossi Popped The Question

On April 14, Gretchen proposed to Slade in a romantic proposal in Los Angeles that will air on an upcoming episode of RHOC, Us Weekly confirms. Previously, Gretchen has made it clear that she doesn’t mind being the one to propose. “A guy doesn’t always have to do it,” Gretchen has said.

“They’re really happy about getting married,” a source tells PEOPLE. “Gretchen always does everything out of the box, so no one is too surprised she was the one who proposed. She really wants kids with Slade, so that was a big motivator.”

In a previous interview, Gretchen gushed about her husband-to-be, “Spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically, [Slade and I] connect on every level. He supports me, loves me and is so unselfish. I just feel like the luckiest girl in the world.”

On the show, the couple have fought a lot about when or if they will ever get married. Gretchen didn’t want to marry Slade until he had his finances in order. His new gig as a radio host must have done the trick, because Gretchen finally gave the green light to get married!

“He is fighting hard,” Michelle Arroyo, Grayson’s mother told RadarOnline.com. “Grayson is a good little soldier.”

Grayson has spent the past three days at Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York.

Slade, the boyfriend of Gretchen Rossi, has been in legal disputes with Grayson’s mother who claims he has not paid child support. Slade defends that he does not make enough money to contribute to his ill son’s medical bills.

Despite the family’s legal strife, The Talbert Family Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing financial support to families with children suffering from serious illness, has set up “The Amazing Gray Fund.” One hundred percent of the proceeds will be donated to help pay for Grayson’s medical bills.

We’re so sad to hear that Grayson is back in the hospital. We hope this little fighter can pull through soon! Share your thoughts with us HollyMoms!

Vicki Gunvalson had a great birthday party but there was one person missing — Gretchen Rossi. HollywoodLife.com spoke to a source who says that Gretchen was the only one out of The Real Housewives of O.C. cast that didn’t show up. Do you think that was rude?

“There’s a feud between Gretchen and Vicki,” the source tells us. “And Vicki and Alexis are bonding over it. They are also both visibly annoyed about Gretchen and Tamra’s new friendship.”

The source adds that although Gretchen was invited, she thought she might have been disinvited after her fiance Slade called Vicki Miss Piggy.

Slade Smiley, 43, and Vicki Gunvalson, 49, have never gotten along…but did he go too far by comparing her to a chubby muppet?

During a stand-up comedy routine on the Feb. 28 episode, Slade calls Vicki “Miss Piggy,” and in next Tuesday’s episode, she makes know that she definitely doesn’t appreciate it! “My looks aren’t to his liking,” she comments when another party-goer brings it up.

Gretchen Rossi, 33, hears and has to step in, claiming, “I wasn’t up there when he said that, and actually, he and I got in a very big fight about it. So until you know the actual information, I suggest you shut up about it.”

Keep in mind this argument is going on while all the ladies are dressed in leotards and ratted hair for their 80s party. Looks like these women are still feuding, and their guys aren’t helping the situation!

Do YOU think Slade went too far, HollywoodLifers?

Check out never-before-seen footage from season six of ‘The Real Housewives Of Orange County’ on tonight’s episode!

The original Real Housewives never fail to be out staged with their over-the-top lifestyles, plastic surgery, and girl fights. Season six was no disappointment with the addition of new ‘Housewives’ Peggy Tanous and Fernanda Rocha spicing up new drama while lingering feuds still raged on between Tamra Barney and Gretchen Rossi. We saw catfights, wine-throwing, and even a divorce — but check out what you didn’t see on this season of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Monday night Bravo is showing all the juicy footage that was left out of season six in a special “Lost Footage” episode. Gretchen gets real about her struggles with bulimia that have haunted her since high school! She reveals that the pressure of her parents drove her to want to be “perfect” and still taint her body image today. Alexis Bellino talks to a therapist about her relationship with her husband being strained because of her fear of divorce. Since both their parents are divorced Alexis and her husband made a pact when they got married that “divorce was not an option.”

Divorce and eating disorders are just a few of the issues addressed in Monday night’s “Lost Footage” episode. We’re sure there will be plenty of other skeletons in the closet that surface with the rest of the girls and we can’t wait to see what wasn’t included in last season. Tell us what you think! Are you excited to see more of the Orange County Housewives?

Vicki has always played the holier than thou role on her hit reality show, especially when it came to cast mate Gretchen and her relationship, but now she finds herself in a similar situation!

Vicki Gunvalson has often relished her role as the most successful, and judgmental, of the Orange County housewives, but it seems the tables may have been turned! Radar Online reports, “Real Housewife of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson is dating a ‘deadbeat dad’ who owes tens of thousands of dollars to two scorned exes.” Interesting, given how she spent all season criticizing Gretchen Rossi for reportedly dating a “deadbeat dad” herself!

Brooks Ayers, the man Vicki has been seen out with, was arrested twice last year in Mississippi and Alabama for not paying support to his ex Kim. In addition, he owes another $40,000 to an ex in Indiana. This is one man with a very questionable past!

As viewers know, Vicki’s cast mate Gretchen is dating Slade Smiley, a man who has always been upfront about his financial troubles and admitted to having trouble paying his child support. Vicki, along with her similarly hypocritical costar Tamara Barney, have spent most of their free time bashing Gretchen’s situation and boyfriend on the show. People in glass houses…

What do you think about Vicki’s situation HollywoodLifers? Do you feel bad for her or do you think she deserves what she is getting?

One end-of-the-season party equals lots of crazy housewives drama!

The June 5 season finale of The Real Housewives of Orange County started with a bang! We all knew it was coming, but Vicki Gunvalson announces she’s officially filed for divorce from Don. The tears come, but Vicki tries to stay strong by deciding to host an annual summer party in her backyard. Clearly when it comes to the OC, the parties — and the drama — must go on!

And boy does the drama get underway at this shindig! It all starts when Tamra Barney arrives at the party — armed with an official legal note to seek some revenge on former OC housewife Jeana Keough! When Tamra confronts her about spreading nasty divorce rumors to the press, Jeana denies it all.

But things really get heated-up when an infuriated Tamra throws her drink in Jeana’s face. This, of course, leads to a domino effect of drink-throwing and name-calling between them until Jeana finally walks out of the party with her entourage.

When the ladies finally come up for air after the crazy mêlée, Gretchen Rossi chimes in about the whole thing. She says it’s difficult to deal with friends constantly talking behind your back — something she’s had to put up with for two years! Tamra calls for a total truce with all the ladies, hoping they can put the past behind them and move forward with their friendships!

In other Housewives news, the tension between Alexis Bellino and Peggy Tanous has been brewing for a while, and it finally comes to a full boil at Vicki’s backyard bash. What starts as a little fight about lips turns into an all-out war between the gal pals over their husbands! The clash ends with a semi-believable truce. But clearly it’s going to take a lot more than that to heal these battle wounds!

Looks like we’ll just have to wait until next season to see how everything gets resolved!
