Speaker 1 (00:08):
Misspelling with Tory Spelling and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey everyone, welcome
to another episode of Misspelling. I'm Denise Richards filling in
again for Tory and I'm so excited. Today we have
an amazing guest, another one of my friends, Larca Pippen.
You might know her from Real Housewives of Miami. We
(00:32):
are talking.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
About beauty, divorce, dating.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Housewives, Bravo con you name it. Hi, Larca, I am
so excited. You are my second guest guest hosting for Tory,
and my first one is. How I met you was
Caroline Stanbury.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh my gosh, Hi to see you. I feel like
I know.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I'm so excited. We met at Bravo kan and through Caroline,
and I love that. When I first met or you
told her that you weren't sure if you were don't
like me, which was.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I said to her because she I love Denise. I said, well,
we ran into Denise and she gave you like a
fast hug, like my very like my personality is really big.
So if I see you in a hallway, I'm screaming
your name.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Oh grab yeah, no, it's just probably come was so
crazy and hectic and they were I had to run
to the other area and she and I just finished
an hour like you know, meet and greet. So yeah, no,
but it was funny and I'm glad that we that
we hit it off because she loves you so much.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Obviously I love her, She's she's amazing, and I love
her relationship with Sergio, like I know, he's my family,
like I've known them for so long that when we
used to go to Dubai, she would be like, you
have to pretend he's your cousin because we can't all
stay in the same house, and let's do buy.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I you know, I've never been there, and was that
the first time you had gone there? Was going to
see her?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I think I met her in La I met her
in Beverly Hills. We had lunch and then we became friends.
And then I was talking to a guy from Dubai
and that's kind of how I'm okay time.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, well, it's so good to see you. And obviously
we have to talk about housewives. Everyone knows that you're
on Housewives of Miami and you guys were on years
ago and then had a reboot and it's it's a
huge success and a huge show and are you guys
(02:37):
in production now or are you on a break.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
No, we haven't started filming yet. You know what's interesting,
I feel like the girls on our show we were
really good friends. You know, we've been we've been together
for the last like fifteen years. I remember we did
season one. My daughter was she was one and now
she's seventeen.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, it's almost like sixteen years. It's insane.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And that's the thing I know. So when we met
at Raba Khan, we had dinner that night, was you
and I, Caroline, Jeff Sergio, and then Stephanie from your show.
And that's something that I thought was so I love
seeing you genuinely be friends outside of filming the show.
And Julia came as well, Alexia and Alexia yeah, and
(03:21):
it was nice to see. And that's I think what
a lot of the viewers love about your show is
that you guys do seem like you're really genuinely friends,
and you have your arguments and stuff like that, but
you're not there to really try to overall try to
tear each each other down. It's like, you know, it's
from what I saw, No, we are really good friends.
(03:42):
I feel like most of us get along, you know.
We know it's anytime you put a bunch of girls
together where we're strong.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You know, we have opinions. It doesn't always we don't
always agree, but at the end of the day, I
feel like we do really care about each other and
we're always there for each other. We've been through you know,
mayor divorce is like so much you know, action in
our lives that it's like you have to care about
each other. You know, there's no other way. I agree,
(04:10):
kids have grown up together, you know, at the same time, and.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I feel with housewives and I think that a lot
of us have agreed that it almost feels like there's
this bond. You can't explain that experience and that and
I'm I'm so grateful that I had it with you
know that time with Beverly Hills. Is it's just a
different I don't know, it's a it's a bond. It's
(04:34):
almost like a sisterhood. And you know, it's something that
you can't really explain to other people, but all of
us know what that's like, and it's actually something really special.
I think even though you get.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
There, I hate you, know, but I really do love you.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I know, but it's it's something that you wouldn't. You know,
it's hard as a grown woman and having families and
kids to even plan at least, you know, a girl's trip.
So to be doing girls trips and having no distractions
from you know, our family, which it's it's wonderful. Obviously
(05:12):
doesn't fe with our families, but it's nice to have
those trips too, you know, even though they're screaming sometimes
and fighting. Obviously that's what makes for good TV too work.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
But meanwhile, you were like, you know, I'm going to work,
I'm going to Milan. Like it's right.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I know, it's it's good. Is it true by the
way that Lisa and her boyfriend split, you.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Know, you know what I just thought online. I don't know.
I feel like I really haven't been, you know, in
communication with Lisa since we were arguing all season long,
So I'm not sure. But I did call her yesterday.
She didn't answer, and I don't know if she got
it or not. It went straight into a voicemail. But
you know, I wish her the best. I want her
(05:56):
to be happy. I don't know if he's the guy
for her, you know, I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Are you. Who are you friends with right now? Like
outside of filming that you stay close to.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I talked to Stephanie all the time. I talked to Marisol, Alexia, Kiky, Julia.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Oh, quite a few. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I just love that holiday party to benefit foster kids,
and I invited those six girls and we literally had
the best time ever. It was so much fun. We
got a chance to take photos and you know, just
laugh and just have so much fun together.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I love Stephanie, by the way, having dinner with her.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
She's so funny.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
No, she's so funny. We have so much fun together.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I can see that. You guys got it's actually really
endearing to see the two of you so so close already.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You know, you know when.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
You're you know, when you hang out with someone like
you pick up each other's mannerism. So she started wearing
super like open tops and like very prerogative, and I
started wearing turtlenecks. I'm like, well, what is going on, Like,
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, you're so funny at dinner when you were talking
and this I love this about Caroline too. You guys
are very blunt, straightforward and I love that. And you
were telling her that she used to dress like a nun,
and I love that you guys can be so honest
with each other.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Oh, I'm like, I used to dress like a nun?
Staff what like? No, she's a great dresser, but I
feel like her body looks so good that sometimes it's
nice to show, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, No, I think it's good.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I think that it's it's nice to hear that from
other women too.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah, totally. A few friends are not going to tell you.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Who is I know? And how is your life? Because
this show has exploded and you're everywhere? Has it?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
How's it been for I mean, you've been.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
In the public your whole adult life, I feel, and
but there's there's something different being on Housewives. Even with
my career a different project that I've done, everyone asks
about Housewives.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I think you're right. I think everyone does ask about Housewives.
And I think it's like a different demographic. You know,
viewers from Bravo we're like diehard you know fans, they
like love their shows. They get invested in your family,
and they do Island all the good and bad. So
you know, it's great.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It's been fun for me I'm bat.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And you also you were with your AX since you
were basically young adults, right.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I met my AX when I was in college. I
met him the summer before my senior year in college,
so it was, you know, different. It was kind of
weird going to college in like a Ferrari that said
fear thirty three and I had really far down to
the parking lote because I didn't want Tony want to
know it was my car.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Wow. And then you guys were together over twenty years, right, Yeah, yeah,
that's a long time.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I know in the NBA, Denise, it's like forever.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I BAT. And so after you guys split, I'm sure
that is to start your life after that. Never dating
since college had to be a huge transition for you.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, I lost my damn mind, like I had just
you know, I think I reverted back because I didn't
have a lot of experience with like dating and going
out and stuff like that because I got married and
basically my whole life revolved around my ex and having
all my kids, you know, so it's like I'm always pregnant,
I'm always taking care of my kids, I'm on the road,
and the basketball schedule is intense, So you know, I
(09:35):
felt like I had a lot, like a lot to
make up.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
For, right, And would you travel with him when he
would go out of town.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Or yeah, we spent like I don't think we spent
more than two nights away from each other when you played,
like we were all. Yeah, me and my two boys,
my older kids, we literally stayed on the road with
their dad. And it was like so fun for my
kids to see it. And now my oldest one plays
in the NBA, so it's kind of like I'm back
at it. You know, I never loved the NBA.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Right, that's nice. And you guys seem to have a
good co parenting relationship, which I think is so obviously
so important. You know, when you separate from their dad,
it's so healthy, I think obviously to have a good relationship,
no matter what the circumstances were, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Think it's really important for the kids and just for
your own mind.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You know.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I think it's like when you're harping on bad things
that have happened to you, like in your relationship, and
you're just dwelling on that, you can't move forward. And
I would never want to talk negative about my ex
because if my kids constantly hear me talking negative about
my ex, like that wouldn't make them feel good. That's
still their dad, you know, And so I'm very conscious
of that. Like I don't sit there like we laugh
(10:50):
about their dad, or like we'll call him if something
is in the media and just like tell stories and
stuff about like the crazy things we did when we
were together. But I feel like we have a really good,
really relationship and we co parent the same. We're really
invested in our kids. Scotty's great dad. You know, goes
to most of Justin's games, Scotti's games, and he still
has a career, so you know, he's really involved.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I think that's the biggest thing. And I'm curious when
people women come to you and ask you, what's your
biggest advice with going through a divorce and especially something public,
And I'm like, I was like you too with Charlie.
With the girls, I never talked badly about him. I
sheltered is things as much as I could because I
(11:36):
just whatever was going on with us, I didn't want
it to affect the girls in their relationship. And I
think that's always been the biggest thing that I've said
to people is you know, keep it. It's not their
fault to be part of this, and it's healthy for
them to, you know, keep mom and dad. Otherwise, I
think that kids feel like they have to either caught
in the middle or you know it is it's unhealthy
(11:57):
to hear anything about the other parents. So I and
I get that as soon as I met you, and
even just see it watching on the show, seeing what
a great mom you are and how you are so
supportive of their relationship with their father.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Oh no, I just feel like it's really important not
to get the kids involved, even when it gets My
relationship with my ex was not always great. You know,
we were at the phase two. We had a long divorce.
Our divorce lasted three years and it costs us so
much money.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Charlie's was four and a half years longer than our marriage.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I see, why be careful who you marry.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Oh yes, and so I do, and.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Then it's like forever to get out of it. You know,
it's not a.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Sa I No, no, it's not. It's it's really awful.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, But I feel like for us, like if I
sat there and talked bad about their dad, their dad
would resent me and take it out on my kids.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Of course, no, And that's at least you guys have that.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, it's funny because I always text Scotty when our
kids have great games or if so feel like she
shot she shot teen Vogue the cover for teen Vogue,
and I texted him and I was like, oh, you're
such a cute dad. Your kids are killing it. Or
I'll text him stuff like that, you know, just to
make him feel good.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I love that Charlie and I have a really great relationship,
and obviously things weren't great all the time. I've had
a lot of ups and downs, and I love that
we're in such a good place and to be able
to text each other too, And you know, especially now
(13:27):
that our kids are older and they're adults now, and
it's nice to be able to talk to him about
the kids in a different way than it was, you know,
during such a hostile time.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So it's nice to be able to share that stuff
with each other.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I also feel like it's important to focus on the
good times, you know. Anyway, I too, I don't want
to focus on the you know, the two percent or
the ten percent of bad times if you've had good
times too, you know, I think just focus on the
good things and you know, leave it that way instead
of dragging it. And I mean I've had friend instead
of that are miserable. They were talking about their divorce
(14:03):
for three years, and I'm like, if that's all you
can do is talk about your ex, you can't move forward.
It's going on bad things. It's like a psychological warfare
with yourself. I'm not doing it, Like, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm moving on.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'm living my best life. I'm happy. And I think
it kind of trickles down to everyone in your soul.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yes, it does.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
And it's like if you're always optimistic and not looking
at like, oh, this bad thing happened to me, or
this bad thing happened to me, and you just focus
on what's in front of you, and it's always going
to get better. It's always going to be better. It's
always going to be you know.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I love that. It's so true. If you keep focusing
on the negative, you're just gonna I.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Feel, keep bringing in the negative too, totally.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, and then you're just it's not a good vibe.
You know, nobody wants to be around that.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
No, I know, I try, you know, obviously.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
And you're in the thick of things right now. I'm
sure it's hard for you to think of like, you know,
I feel really good.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Like as far as me personally, you know, it was
really hard. I tried for so long to make it work.
I didn't want to go through another divorce. And I've
always said, oh, I'm never getting divorced again, and here
I am.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
But wait, what was there like the straw that broke
the camel's back in your relationship?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You know, to be honest, When he moved his family
down from Canada, it was the beginning of the end.
I was told they were just visiting and they were
going to come for I thought four months was a
long time. And it was his mom's dad and two
brothers and a sister in law, five people and two
(15:38):
people left after so I was told four months and
I was like, four months. Well it's four and a
half years now. So it became such the crux of
problems with us. And I'm very supportive of family and
helping and all of that, but then, you know, when
all of it was, I was expected to take care
of everyone. It caused just so many damn problems, and
(16:01):
so that that was the but then I think towards
the last six months were really bad. And then just
like you know, and obviously it's public knowledge that have
a restraining order, and he just the more we thought
about that and things, uh, the more volatile he got.
And so you know, I wanted him to make some changes,
(16:24):
and it just got worse. And it was fourth of
July weekend. I was healing from surgery. I was ten
days out from a facelift, and it was a horrible weekend,
and you know, he I wanted to separate, but I
wanted to wait till after I got through my recovery.
And yeah, he filed for some time, let me get
(16:45):
off these mens. Yeah, well my just the swelling and everything.
I didn't want the stress of dealing with what I'm
dealing with now, and it was a big surgery for me,
and I didn't you know, so whatever here I am now.
But I I was so sad too, even though I
knew it was the right thing. But you hope things
will change. But going through the divorce is if there
(17:08):
was ever like, oh what if something changed, a doubt
of what it could have been. I've got double triple
confirmation that this is not the right person, because I
learned who he really is during my divorce and the
betrayal is just I mean, I don't even have words
for it. So it's obviously the right thing, and I
(17:29):
feel so good now, you know, just starting fresh and over.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
God, you're away from that whole family because from the outside, honestly,
like him even asking for spousal support when it's like,
you've worked your whole life. Why should he benefit from
you working your whole life, being a provider a mother
like you do so much and the fact that he
feels like he can benefit from that is insane.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I know, you know, we got married in our forties.
It's not like he built my career up or my brand.
And also I have three kids, one being special needs
who is going to need full time care the rest
of her life. So it's really yeah, no, it's terrible.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
And I saw the thing with his mom getting a
go fund to me for her son.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
They why can't get a job like the rest of
the world. You have a job, we're working right now.
I'm like, I don't know, there's four adults that can't
do you know, you can't work, you're disabled, Like, what's
his excuse.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I don't know because his brother is forty six years old,
I think, and he's been here for four and a
half years and doesn't have a job from Canada. I
don't get it. I don't understand. It's not my responsibility
to take care of him and his family. I don't
get I have my own family to take care of.
I don't understand it.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
That's affect you too. Thank god, you are, you know,
dissolving this relationship and moving in the right direction, and
you're young and you've never looked better.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, thank you, thanks to your friend doctor ven Tlly. I.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
First of all, I love Ben so much. He is
such a good person and so much fun and an
amazing classic surgeon. When I saw your face and these
I was like, you look like you're twenty like you.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Oh, you're so sweet. Thank you. I didn't know you
guys were friends until we went to dinner at Bravo
con and he is such a great guy. I was
so scared to do it because I've never done anything
to my face. I've just had a little botox. I
tried fillers, but I looked like I weighed three hundred pounds.
They just didn't work for my face, and so I
(19:49):
was so scared to do it. Caroline was actually the
one that told me I needed it. So but I'm
so excited and so happy with the results. I think
he is a true artist to you know, make me
look like myself just uh refreshed.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
No, you look amazing, thank you? Are you dating at all?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No? I I think I'm not ready to date. I
don't want to get no relationship. It's weird, like I
miss intimacy, but I don't want to have a boyfriend,
so something in between would be nice.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah, there you go, I mean, yeah, to go on
dating apps. I'm obsessed with dating apps.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I'm not So that's the other thing I'm not looking
forward to is like I thought with Aaron, Okay, I
found my soulmate, this is gonna be We're going to
build a life together. And now just start all over
with that. I'm like, shit, so it's.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Gonna be fine. I feel I just don't like.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
The whole dating thing, Like how do you meet people?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
They're friends? I feel like their friends be social, But
do you go out? I feel like you're not the
kind of No, I don't and I take get out
or get on a dating app? You can't just wait
for Prince charming.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Well, I'm not going to wait for Prince charm me.
But I mean, like I'm not one to like, you know,
go out well, like to go to well. I think
it's also different in Miami than in La. Yeah, it definitely,
but it's uh, I don't know. I'm not ready for
a relationship though I want to be officially divorced at least.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
How much longer do you think before it's like finalized?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I hope soon, Like there's not you know, hopefully soon,
but uh, but I mean I emotionally, I'm like, I'm
not I know that that's over. I feel like I
don't even know that person. But it's uh, you know,
just getting you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I wouldn't get married again, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, would you get married again?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I think so, Well, you've only been married once, so
that's good after two times. I'm like, I'm over for two.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah, I do you believe in like marriage? My parents
are still married, my sister, like my whole family.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I didn't too, Like my mom and dad stayed married
until my mom passed away, and I always wanted that
and thought I would have that. But that's all right.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, I mean listen, you never know. You can say
no and then like meet some guy that suits you
off your feet and then you know, but you need
a fring up, Denise.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That's where I was really dumb. I did everything wrong
that you can do getting married. I made a lot
of mistakes. When my lawyer was asking me, do you
do do this this thing? I like, okay, the worst
possible case, it just imagine that that's what I did.
So I h yeah, no, it's it was stupid.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah, I mean you can.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I trusted home, you know, I know.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
But you know what's interesting. When I married my first husband,
I had this like high powered attorney. My dad got me.
He was like, you feel like it's never going to end,
and sometimes good things end.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
This is very true, like a.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Whole ice cream. You can really enjoy it, but sometimes
there's like it's like the left, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Like, yeah, you know what. And for this marriage, I
realized when people say it's like a business contract and whatever,
and I never believe that until this divorce, because it's
it basically you're looking at like splitting a business, and
I never wanted to look at it that way, but
it is true. And let's face it, most marriages when
(23:28):
they end in divorce usually do not and like, hey,
we're getting divorced. You know, there's a lot of anger,
animosity or you know, blame whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Listen. It's relationships are really tough. They're not like how
it was when our parents. You know, there's so many
social media, there's so many outside sources that there are. Yeah,
they can come in and destroy your life. You know,
It's true, not simple.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
So myself, you're.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
With their husband, and her husband is an attorney OWDs
a law firm, does everything for her, is a great dad.
And I'm like, there's not a lot of guys like
him that do it all. You know, he does it all.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
You seem very happy, and I was so happy to
meet Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know if I could say no.
He's so lovely. You guys are adorable together. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
We have so much fun together. We do everything together.
And I feel like this is the first relationship that
I've been in where we don't have to like go
out and travel, like we just chill, like it's our
relationship is just very normal, and I love it. It's
like not you know, I feel like other times I
had to like had to travel a lot with the
person and he was always on the road or you know.
(24:43):
And I feel like Jeff is an author now he's
not an athlete anymore. So it's like his life is
slowed down and I love it, like I love being
home every day.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Do you feel being on Housewives and having you know,
your your ex husband and you know an ex boyfriend
that are you more private about your relationship here or
do you just want to live your life and whatever?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I'm kind of both. Like I am private with my relationship.
I don't want to be around other people that are
not happy for me or my successes or my relationships.
I think like years ago, I had friends that I
would just be around, but I knew they weren't happy
for me, you know. Now, I do want to, like,
you know, keep my relationship under wraps a little bit.
I don't want to be around negative people or people
(25:37):
that are just not in a good place for themselves,
you know. So I am selective on who, you know,
who we go out with, more so than we were before.
But I do share my life. I want to live.
I feel like my personality is very like open you know,
I like to share everything, and weren't a good place
and I feel like I'm going to ride this.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Wave until you know, And would he be part of
next season do you think or would you rather not
so much have him for the show?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yeah? No, I feel like I want him to be
a part of it, but not necessarily like a huge
part of it. I do think it's stressful when you
know you're bringing someone in like he is. He does
not watch reality TV. He has no idea, I know.
I found that very endearing when we were at dinner.
He does, he does, he has no clue what you
know what I mean. Our rules are like, so I
(26:29):
don't want to just necessarily throw him in there and
be like, Okay, you know, I want him to be
a part of it. I want him to be a
part of it. It's like my career at my job.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So yeah, I thinks I saw on Beverly Hills the
women that were on there longer were not bringing their
significant other to like the group dinners or the group parties,
but they would show their partner, you know, at home
or dinner privately. And after like the first season and
(27:00):
halfway through my second, I'm like Okay, No, I get
it because when the husband's get involved and say something,
it goes sideways.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Oh, it's never good. Like yeah, yeah, there's Jeff's personality
is so easy that he gets along with everyone and
he's not like overbearing where he wouldn't necessarily just be
talkative and like, you know, if we.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Were filming, Yeah, no, I could I sense that from him?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, well he's Aquarius, right, Yeah, yeah, I'm Aquarius too.
We were talking all of us at the dinner, so
we're easy going. Usually he's so easy. Everyone loves him.
I have yet to meet one person that said that they.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Don't love him. I'm like, everywhere this guy goes, everyone
loves him.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Thank you. I'm happy for you. I like you amazing,
and I feel like you're gonna have so many good
things happening for you.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Closes, You've got all true waiting to open for you.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Now. It's so true. Now I feel good. It's so weird.
When I was doing the recap of the year for
Instagram and looking at photos and stuff, it's so surreal
looking at the first half of the year. Because Aaron
and I split in July, and it was so strange.
I felt like I was looking at a completely different
person in life, and I almost came to look at
(28:20):
photos of he and I at all. It's just he
feels like such a stranger too. But it's very strange
how I don't know if someone could be in your
life every day and then in one day, because we
spoke the day we split, and now I've never spoken
to him since, and it's very weird to have that.
It's healthy and good, but it's still an adjustment when
(28:42):
you're it's like, all of a sudden, this person isn't in
your life and we were together nine years. But it's
interesting seeing the difference, but also me feeling different too,
Like I feel like I can breathe and I'm not
walking on eggshells. So I'm excited about like a new chapter.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Two, a new beta version of you, a new better
version of me. Thank you so much better? Like and
you know what, who brings their entire family to someone
else's house? Like that's insane?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah, I know, it's been an interesting. Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I feel like you need to keep me posted on
the people when you do start dating. I need to
be involved in like your day to day because I
need to know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
You're not the only one that is. I'm some guy
moving with you with his like brother. Why I didn't.
I was actually out of town when they came down.
I was told, but I was told it was just
his mom and dad, and then all of a sudden
it was five people. So whatever, if it is what
it is, I feel like.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
At least now you know what it is, you're moving forward.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, if there was ever a doubt that this what if?
Mostly because of how he's been during the actual divorce
part of it, you know it.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
What's interesting people always say you really get to know
who they are after like your first fight or your
second fight, how they nagget like how they navigate through conflict.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
You know, It's true. Definitely. I've learned a lot. Speaking
of looking good, you look amazing. What are you doing? Like?
You eat well obviously, and I.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Eat awful like I you do. My son Preston is
here and every time I'm like, oh, I want chocolate cake,
He's like, don't do it. So he's kind of like
my drill sergeant. And then you know, Jeff and I
have been working out every day, but I just I
eat whatever I want. I need to stop doing that.
I need to be more disciplined.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
But you look good. You're you look so healthy, and
you look so young too, Like don't you sometimes forget
how old we are.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
And it's like, oh shit, by the way, I don't
want to remember.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I'm good, I know, but I think it's different now.
And you know, you also have such a youthful spirit,
so I think that obviously comes through too. So you
look very very young, and you're such a great business woman.
You have your own tequia. I want to hear, like
how that started and did you go and you know,
(31:05):
test everything, like what was the experience?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Like, so, my dad, it must have been like twelve
years ago. My dad called me. He's like, hey, I
think we should do a tequila my one of my
business partners has a distillery and halis goo and he's like,
I think we should go down there and do it tequila.
I was so busy with my kids and sports, and
I was so in the thick of things as a
mom that I couldn't do it. I'm like, Dad, I
(31:29):
don't have time. I wish I could, but I don't
have time to do this. Fast forward it must have
been four years ago. When I was talking to my
dad again, I was like, you know, I should have
did that tequila and he's like, it's not too late,
you should do it. And so I called one of
my best friends and business partner, Adam Weitzman, who is
just a great business person. I called him and I
(31:51):
was like, do you want to do a tequila with me?
Should we go and create the most amazing tequila? And
he was like I'm in. Let's go. And so we
created this brand, really designed the bottle from scratch.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
So fun.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, it was such a great process. You know, went
to Mexico. I don't even know how many times to
get the perfect taste. We just in one squ we
did in Yeho and it is so smooth, so good.
I never get a hangover the next day when I'm drinking,
and I'm just really proud of it. It's like a
great product.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
So this was something that I learned and I hope.
I don't know if it's true or not, or that
you can only get it in Mexico. Get the agave?
Is that true?
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Well, I mean I'm sure the best agave is in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Okay. Yeah, And then how did you when you were testing?
How do you even know like what notes are like,
I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
A lot of notes, so for instance, like the smell,
the taste, the aftertaste, and then if there's like a
lot of preserve, there's like a lot of different ingredients,
I feel you get a hangover the next thing, right,
But I didn't want it to be one hundred percent straight,
you know, no additives because I feel like you need
a little bit of vanilla, a little bit, you know,
(33:10):
just a little seasoning too it just to give it,
you know, a little smoothness to it. So it's amazing.
I'll send you a bottles.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Really hard fun.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
That's fun to have your own tequila and you know,
and that's the thing I think with housewives and also
just being you are such a strong woman, and you know,
you're ambitious, and you like you have a career and
to be able to have your own businesses and you
also have your larca light. I think it's so great
(33:41):
to see women, especially you know, we're not twenty five
years old, and to be able to start businesses at
any age I think is so inspiring for other women.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
I mean, it's it's been so much fun. It's been
so much fun.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
I love all the all.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
The brands that I do, Like I started my first
brand with Larce Marie Jewelry and I had it at
Stacks and I loved it so much. I literally designed
every piece of jewelry like that was my first baby.
And then I did the Larsa Light, I did a Lujo.
I started a dating app called date dot com.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You have a dating app.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Yeah, that's why I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
I can know that you actually had one. I just understood.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
It's called date dot com, the best dating app. It's
powered by AI. It's you can't get catfish because for me,
it's like my, well, my friends were on all these
different dating apps. I would be like, give me your phone,
let me see what you're working with. And the guys
did not look like they did when we met him.
They did not well, I believe that for years. This
(34:44):
photo was taken twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
That's so funny.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
And so I was like, no, we need to create
a dating app where you have to use the actual
app to take the photo. And smart, yeah, you upload,
you take a photo. You can't just upload it edited
a photo of.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Your yourself that is actually really smart.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, And basically you can like message multiple guys. So
if you like, if you're interested in four or five guys,
you can message all five of them one time. So
it takes like twenty seconds to be like, hey, how's
your weekend going, and you spend it to five guys
or fifty guys?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
You know. Okay, So if I ever do do a
dating app, I'm going to call you. I didn't realize
you actually had one.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, I thought you were on one before.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Oh I love it. I have all my girlfriends and
every time I look, I'm like, these guys are so hot.
You know my friends. You know, some of these girls
don't want to go out. I'm like, how are you
going to meet your guy?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Ie?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
You don't go out, you have to get on a
dating site. You have to be proactive, like if you
want to have fun and get out. I'm not saying
you need to be in a relationship right now, but
I do feel like there is something fun about texting
ce guys.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I mean, we you know what right now? Though I
and I've never been this way. I'm so trusting, but
this was a doozy, this last one.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
That I think it's going to take me a minute
to trust someone again.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Yeah, no, I'm you know a yeah, maybe if they
could sign an NDA before we even text or something.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
It's twenty twenty six. You have to sign an NDA
before before you hear my voice.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Like, that's true. And then what else are you that's
also so great? Like doing your because you're so creative,
and to be able to do jewelry and to do
a tequila and your your light and other products. I
think that's so fun to be able to brand and
come up with all different things. Have you ever thought
(36:46):
about or maybe you do have one that you're working on,
something like with your kids that you guys can collaborate
together building coming out with a product or.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
That would be so fun. I feel like if I
did a it would be with my son Preston, because
he's super talented. He's very creative, and.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I feel like you and one of your kids are
going to do a product.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Yeah, that would be so I never thought of it, Denise, Oh, well, well,
now you can think of something that you guys can do.
I literally never thought of it. I feel like he
is the only one that has a little bit more
time than the other boys. And Sophia is just seventeen
and she's in high school, so.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
She's also And you do you go back and forth
between You're mostly in Miami. You don't go back to
La going back and forth. For three years, I was
in LA full time. Then I was going back and forth.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
And I feel like I kind of got over LA,
Like it's just it's so slow.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I mean, it's changed a lot.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
I think in the last when I first moved through,
I thought it was like I thought it was the
greatest place on earth. I was like, I love being
in LA. It's going to be so much fun. And
I feel like during COVID, I just nobody would go out.
You go to restaurants are dead, there's nobody doing anything.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
It is different from Miami.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Yeah, And in Miami we're like out every night, like
we go work out. The classes are full. You go
to restaurants, it's full. It's just more lively. There's more action.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah, definitely, And I like the action.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Like I'm not I don't want to be bored at home,
you know, it's not it's not fun for me.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
And do you? And do you? And Jeff travel a lot.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
We bought I bought this house a year ago, and
I've kind of been working on my house.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Like that's a breat project. Yeah, no, it's it's fun.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Every time I think I'm done, Jeff's like, thank god,
you're done, and I'm like, nope, I want to do
this or I want to do that. And I made
this poor guy crazy.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
And do you still have your condo?

Speaker 3 (39:17):
Well how old were you when you went to La
I Well.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
My dad moved us to Ocean Site, which is near
a little north of San Diego, when I was fifteen,
after my freshman year of high school.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Okay, okay, and when did you move? Well, I married
my ex husband when I was like twenty two. Okay,
so you're that's right, You're we had a place here
in Florida, and then we had a place in Portland, Oregon,
and Texas and Chicago, and so we kind of went everywhere.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Did you go to college in Chicago?
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Wow, so that was a big move.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Yeah. But you know what's interesting, I love Chicago so much,
but once I left it, I felt like it just
the weather's so.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
I know that's why my dad moved us.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
And summer there like every year, but I just don't
want to be there for the winter. It's so good.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
I know, the winters are really tough.

all different places. It was so cadut there. It was.

see her?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I think I met her in La I met her
in Beverly Hills. We had lunch and then we became friends.
And then I was talking to a guy from Dubai
and that's kind of how I'm okay time.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, well, it's so good to see you. And obviously
we have to talk about housewives. Everyone knows that you're
on Housewives of Miami and you guys were on years
ago and then had a reboot and it's it's a
huge success and a huge show and are you guys
(02:37):
in production now or are you on a break.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
No, we haven't started filming yet. You know what's interesting,
I feel like the girls on our show we were
really good friends. You know, we've been we've been together
for the last like fifteen years. I remember we did
season one. My daughter was she was one and now
she's seventeen.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, it's almost like sixteen years. It's insane.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And that's the thing I know. So when we met
at Raba Khan, we had dinner that night, was you
and I, Caroline, Jeff Sergio, and then Stephanie from your show.
And that's something that I thought was so I love
seeing you genuinely be friends outside of filming the show.
And Julia came as well, Alexia and Alexia yeah, and
(03:21):
it was nice to see. And that's I think what
a lot of the viewers love about your show is
that you guys do seem like you're really genuinely friends,
and you have your arguments and stuff like that, but
you're not there to really try to overall try to
tear each each other down. It's like, you know, it's
from what I saw, No, we are really good friends.
(03:42):
I feel like most of us get along, you know.
We know it's anytime you put a bunch of girls
together where we're strong.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You know, we have opinions. It doesn't always we don't
always agree, but at the end of the day, I
feel like we do really care about each other and
we're always there for each other. We've been through you know,
mayor divorce is like so much you know, action in
our lives that it's like you have to care about
each other. You know, there's no other way. I agree,
(04:10):
kids have grown up together, you know, at the same time, and.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I feel with housewives and I think that a lot
of us have agreed that it almost feels like there's
this bond. You can't explain that experience and that and
I'm I'm so grateful that I had it with you
know that time with Beverly Hills. Is it's just a
different I don't know, it's a it's a bond. It's
(04:34):
almost like a sisterhood. And you know, it's something that
you can't really explain to other people, but all of
us know what that's like, and it's actually something really special.
I think even though you get.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
There, I hate you, know, but I really do love you.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I know, but it's it's something that you wouldn't. You know,
it's hard as a grown woman and having families and
kids to even plan at least, you know, a girl's trip.
So to be doing girls trips and having no distractions
from you know, our family, which it's it's wonderful. Obviously
(05:12):
doesn't fe with our families, but it's nice to have
those trips too, you know, even though they're screaming sometimes
and fighting. Obviously that's what makes for good TV too work.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
But meanwhile, you were like, you know, I'm going to work,
I'm going to Milan. Like it's right.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I know, it's it's good. Is it true by the
way that Lisa and her boyfriend split, you.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Know, you know what I just thought online. I don't know.
I feel like I really haven't been, you know, in
communication with Lisa since we were arguing all season long,
So I'm not sure. But I did call her yesterday.
She didn't answer, and I don't know if she got
it or not. It went straight into a voicemail. But
you know, I wish her the best. I want her
(05:56):
to be happy. I don't know if he's the guy
for her, you know, I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Are you. Who are you friends with right now? Like
outside of filming that you stay close to.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I talked to Stephanie all the time. I talked to Marisol, Alexia, Kiky, Julia.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Oh, quite a few. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I just love that holiday party to benefit foster kids,
and I invited those six girls and we literally had
the best time ever. It was so much fun. We
got a chance to take photos and you know, just
laugh and just have so much fun together.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I love Stephanie, by the way, having dinner with her.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
She's so funny.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
No, she's so funny. We have so much fun together.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I can see that. You guys got it's actually really
endearing to see the two of you so so close already.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You know, you know when.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
You're you know, when you hang out with someone like
you pick up each other's mannerism. So she started wearing
super like open tops and like very prerogative, and I
started wearing turtlenecks. I'm like, well, what is going on, Like,
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, you're so funny at dinner when you were talking
and this I love this about Caroline too. You guys
are very blunt, straightforward and I love that. And you
were telling her that she used to dress like a nun,
and I love that you guys can be so honest
with each other.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Oh, I'm like, I used to dress like a nun?
Staff what like? No, she's a great dresser, but I
feel like her body looks so good that sometimes it's
nice to show, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, No, I think it's good.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I think that it's it's nice to hear that from
other women too.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah, totally. A few friends are not going to tell you.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Who is I know? And how is your life? Because
this show has exploded and you're everywhere? Has it?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
How's it been for I mean, you've been.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
In the public your whole adult life, I feel, and
but there's there's something different being on Housewives. Even with
my career a different project that I've done, everyone asks
about Housewives.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I think you're right. I think everyone does ask about Housewives.
And I think it's like a different demographic. You know,
viewers from Bravo we're like diehard you know fans, they
like love their shows. They get invested in your family,
and they do Island all the good and bad. So
you know, it's great.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It's been fun for me I'm bat.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And you also you were with your AX since you
were basically young adults, right.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I met my AX when I was in college. I
met him the summer before my senior year in college,
so it was, you know, different. It was kind of
weird going to college in like a Ferrari that said
fear thirty three and I had really far down to
the parking lote because I didn't want Tony want to
know it was my car.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Wow. And then you guys were together over twenty years, right, Yeah, yeah,
that's a long time.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I know in the NBA, Denise, it's like forever.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I BAT. And so after you guys split, I'm sure
that is to start your life after that. Never dating
since college had to be a huge transition for you.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, I lost my damn mind, like I had just
you know, I think I reverted back because I didn't
have a lot of experience with like dating and going
out and stuff like that because I got married and
basically my whole life revolved around my ex and having
all my kids, you know, so it's like I'm always pregnant,
I'm always taking care of my kids, I'm on the road,
and the basketball schedule is intense, So you know, I
(09:35):
felt like I had a lot, like a lot to
make up.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
For, right, And would you travel with him when he
would go out of town.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Or yeah, we spent like I don't think we spent
more than two nights away from each other when you played,
like we were all. Yeah, me and my two boys,
my older kids, we literally stayed on the road with
their dad. And it was like so fun for my
kids to see it. And now my oldest one plays
in the NBA, so it's kind of like I'm back
at it. You know, I never loved the NBA.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Right, that's nice. And you guys seem to have a
good co parenting relationship, which I think is so obviously
so important. You know, when you separate from their dad,
it's so healthy, I think obviously to have a good relationship,
no matter what the circumstances were, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Think it's really important for the kids and just for
your own mind.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You know.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I think it's like when you're harping on bad things
that have happened to you, like in your relationship, and
you're just dwelling on that, you can't move forward. And
I would never want to talk negative about my ex
because if my kids constantly hear me talking negative about
my ex, like that wouldn't make them feel good. That's
still their dad, you know, And so I'm very conscious
of that. Like I don't sit there like we laugh
(10:50):
about their dad, or like we'll call him if something
is in the media and just like tell stories and
stuff about like the crazy things we did when we
were together. But I feel like we have a really good,
really relationship and we co parent the same. We're really
invested in our kids. Scotty's great dad. You know, goes
to most of Justin's games, Scotti's games, and he still
has a career, so you know, he's really involved.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I think that's the biggest thing. And I'm curious when
people women come to you and ask you, what's your
biggest advice with going through a divorce and especially something public,
And I'm like, I was like you too with Charlie.
With the girls, I never talked badly about him. I
sheltered is things as much as I could because I
(11:36):
just whatever was going on with us, I didn't want
it to affect the girls in their relationship. And I
think that's always been the biggest thing that I've said
to people is you know, keep it. It's not their
fault to be part of this, and it's healthy for
them to, you know, keep mom and dad. Otherwise, I
think that kids feel like they have to either caught
in the middle or you know it is it's unhealthy
(11:57):
to hear anything about the other parents. So I and
I get that as soon as I met you, and
even just see it watching on the show, seeing what
a great mom you are and how you are so
supportive of their relationship with their father.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Oh no, I just feel like it's really important not
to get the kids involved, even when it gets My
relationship with my ex was not always great. You know,
we were at the phase two. We had a long divorce.
Our divorce lasted three years and it costs us so
much money.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Charlie's was four and a half years longer than our marriage.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I see, why be careful who you marry.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Oh yes, and so I do, and.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Then it's like forever to get out of it. You know,
it's not a.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Sa I No, no, it's not. It's it's really awful.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, But I feel like for us, like if I
sat there and talked bad about their dad, their dad
would resent me and take it out on my kids.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Of course, no, And that's at least you guys have that.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, it's funny because I always text Scotty when our
kids have great games or if so feel like she
shot she shot teen Vogue the cover for teen Vogue,
and I texted him and I was like, oh, you're
such a cute dad. Your kids are killing it. Or
I'll text him stuff like that, you know, just to
make him feel good.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I love that Charlie and I have a really great relationship,
and obviously things weren't great all the time. I've had
a lot of ups and downs, and I love that
we're in such a good place and to be able
to text each other too, And you know, especially now
(13:27):
that our kids are older and they're adults now, and
it's nice to be able to talk to him about
the kids in a different way than it was, you know,
during such a hostile time.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So it's nice to be able to share that stuff
with each other.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I also feel like it's important to focus on the
good times, you know. Anyway, I too, I don't want
to focus on the you know, the two percent or
the ten percent of bad times if you've had good
times too, you know, I think just focus on the
good things and you know, leave it that way instead
of dragging it. And I mean I've had friend instead
of that are miserable. They were talking about their divorce
(14:03):
for three years, and I'm like, if that's all you
can do is talk about your ex, you can't move forward.
It's going on bad things. It's like a psychological warfare
with yourself. I'm not doing it, Like, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I'm moving on.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'm living my best life. I'm happy. And I think
it kind of trickles down to everyone in your soul.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yes, it does.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
And it's like if you're always optimistic and not looking
at like, oh, this bad thing happened to me, or
this bad thing happened to me, and you just focus
on what's in front of you, and it's always going
to get better. It's always going to be better. It's
always going to be you know.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I love that. It's so true. If you keep focusing
on the negative, you're just gonna I.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Feel, keep bringing in the negative too, totally.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, and then you're just it's not a good vibe.
You know, nobody wants to be around that.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
No, I know, I try, you know, obviously.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
And you're in the thick of things right now. I'm
sure it's hard for you to think of like, you know,
I feel really good.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Like as far as me personally, you know, it was
really hard. I tried for so long to make it work.
I didn't want to go through another divorce. And I've
always said, oh, I'm never getting divorced again, and here
I am.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
But wait, what was there like the straw that broke
the camel's back in your relationship?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You know, to be honest, When he moved his family
down from Canada, it was the beginning of the end.
I was told they were just visiting and they were
going to come for I thought four months was a
long time. And it was his mom's dad and two
brothers and a sister in law, five people and two
(15:38):
people left after so I was told four months and
I was like, four months. Well it's four and a
half years now. So it became such the crux of
problems with us. And I'm very supportive of family and
helping and all of that, but then, you know, when
all of it was, I was expected to take care
of everyone. It caused just so many damn problems, and
(16:01):
so that that was the but then I think towards
the last six months were really bad. And then just
like you know, and obviously it's public knowledge that have
a restraining order, and he just the more we thought
about that and things, uh, the more volatile he got.
And so you know, I wanted him to make some changes,
(16:24):
and it just got worse. And it was fourth of
July weekend. I was healing from surgery. I was ten
days out from a facelift, and it was a horrible weekend,
and you know, he I wanted to separate, but I
wanted to wait till after I got through my recovery.
And yeah, he filed for some time, let me get
(16:45):
off these mens. Yeah, well my just the swelling and everything.
I didn't want the stress of dealing with what I'm
dealing with now, and it was a big surgery for me,
and I didn't you know, so whatever here I am now.
But I I was so sad too, even though I
knew it was the right thing. But you hope things
will change. But going through the divorce is if there
(17:08):
was ever like, oh what if something changed, a doubt
of what it could have been. I've got double triple
confirmation that this is not the right person, because I
learned who he really is during my divorce and the
betrayal is just I mean, I don't even have words
for it. So it's obviously the right thing, and I
(17:29):
feel so good now, you know, just starting fresh and over.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
God, you're away from that whole family because from the outside, honestly,
like him even asking for spousal support when it's like,
you've worked your whole life. Why should he benefit from
you working your whole life, being a provider a mother
like you do so much and the fact that he
feels like he can benefit from that is insane.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I know, you know, we got married in our forties.
It's not like he built my career up or my brand.
And also I have three kids, one being special needs
who is going to need full time care the rest
of her life. So it's really yeah, no, it's terrible.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
And I saw the thing with his mom getting a
go fund to me for her son.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
They why can't get a job like the rest of
the world. You have a job, we're working right now.
I'm like, I don't know, there's four adults that can't
do you know, you can't work, you're disabled, Like, what's
his excuse.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I don't know because his brother is forty six years old,
I think, and he's been here for four and a
half years and doesn't have a job from Canada. I
don't get it. I don't understand. It's not my responsibility
to take care of him and his family. I don't
get I have my own family to take care of.
I don't understand it.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
That's affect you too. Thank god, you are, you know,
dissolving this relationship and moving in the right direction, and
you're young and you've never looked better.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, thank you, thanks to your friend doctor ven Tlly. I.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
First of all, I love Ben so much. He is
such a good person and so much fun and an
amazing classic surgeon. When I saw your face and these
I was like, you look like you're twenty like you.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Oh, you're so sweet. Thank you. I didn't know you
guys were friends until we went to dinner at Bravo
con and he is such a great guy. I was
so scared to do it because I've never done anything
to my face. I've just had a little botox. I
tried fillers, but I looked like I weighed three hundred pounds.
They just didn't work for my face, and so I
(19:49):
was so scared to do it. Caroline was actually the
one that told me I needed it. So but I'm
so excited and so happy with the results. I think
he is a true artist to you know, make me
look like myself just uh refreshed.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
No, you look amazing, thank you? Are you dating at all?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No? I I think I'm not ready to date. I
don't want to get no relationship. It's weird, like I
miss intimacy, but I don't want to have a boyfriend,
so something in between would be nice.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah, there you go, I mean, yeah, to go on
dating apps. I'm obsessed with dating apps.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I'm not So that's the other thing I'm not looking
forward to is like I thought with Aaron, Okay, I
found my soulmate, this is gonna be We're going to
build a life together. And now just start all over
with that. I'm like, shit, so it's.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Gonna be fine. I feel I just don't like.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
The whole dating thing, Like how do you meet people?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
They're friends? I feel like their friends be social, But
do you go out? I feel like you're not the
kind of No, I don't and I take get out
or get on a dating app? You can't just wait
for Prince charming.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Well, I'm not going to wait for Prince charm me.
But I mean, like I'm not one to like, you know,
go out well, like to go to well. I think
it's also different in Miami than in La. Yeah, it definitely,
but it's uh, I don't know. I'm not ready for
a relationship though I want to be officially divorced at least.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
How much longer do you think before it's like finalized?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I hope soon, Like there's not you know, hopefully soon,
but uh, but I mean I emotionally, I'm like, I'm
not I know that that's over. I feel like I
don't even know that person. But it's uh, you know,
just getting you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I wouldn't get married again, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, would you get married again?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I think so, Well, you've only been married once, so
that's good after two times. I'm like, I'm over for two.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah, I do you believe in like marriage? My parents
are still married, my sister, like my whole family.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I didn't too, Like my mom and dad stayed married
until my mom passed away, and I always wanted that
and thought I would have that. But that's all right.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, I mean listen, you never know. You can say
no and then like meet some guy that suits you
off your feet and then you know, but you need
a fring up, Denise.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That's where I was really dumb. I did everything wrong
that you can do getting married. I made a lot
of mistakes. When my lawyer was asking me, do you
do do this this thing? I like, okay, the worst
possible case, it just imagine that that's what I did.
So I h yeah, no, it's it was stupid.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah, I mean you can.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I trusted home, you know, I know.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
But you know what's interesting. When I married my first husband,
I had this like high powered attorney. My dad got me.
He was like, you feel like it's never going to end,
and sometimes good things end.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
This is very true, like a.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Whole ice cream. You can really enjoy it, but sometimes
there's like it's like the left, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Like, yeah, you know what. And for this marriage, I
realized when people say it's like a business contract and whatever,
and I never believe that until this divorce, because it's
it basically you're looking at like splitting a business, and
I never wanted to look at it that way, but
it is true. And let's face it, most marriages when
(23:28):
they end in divorce usually do not and like, hey,
we're getting divorced. You know, there's a lot of anger,
animosity or you know, blame whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Listen. It's relationships are really tough. They're not like how
it was when our parents. You know, there's so many
social media, there's so many outside sources that there are. Yeah,
they can come in and destroy your life. You know,
It's true, not simple.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
So myself, you're.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
With their husband, and her husband is an attorney OWDs
a law firm, does everything for her, is a great dad.
And I'm like, there's not a lot of guys like
him that do it all. You know, he does it all.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
You seem very happy, and I was so happy to
meet Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know if I could say no.
He's so lovely. You guys are adorable together. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
We have so much fun together. We do everything together.
And I feel like this is the first relationship that
I've been in where we don't have to like go
out and travel, like we just chill, like it's our
relationship is just very normal, and I love it. It's
like not you know, I feel like other times I
had to like had to travel a lot with the
person and he was always on the road or you know.
(24:43):
And I feel like Jeff is an author now he's
not an athlete anymore. So it's like his life is
slowed down and I love it, like I love being
home every day.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Do you feel being on Housewives and having you know,
your your ex husband and you know an ex boyfriend
that are you more private about your relationship here or
do you just want to live your life and whatever?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I'm kind of both. Like I am private with my relationship.
I don't want to be around other people that are
not happy for me or my successes or my relationships.
I think like years ago, I had friends that I
would just be around, but I knew they weren't happy
for me, you know. Now, I do want to, like,
you know, keep my relationship under wraps a little bit.
I don't want to be around negative people or people
(25:37):
that are just not in a good place for themselves,
you know. So I am selective on who, you know,
who we go out with, more so than we were before.
But I do share my life. I want to live.
I feel like my personality is very like open you know,
I like to share everything, and weren't a good place
and I feel like I'm going to ride this.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Wave until you know, And would he be part of
next season do you think or would you rather not
so much have him for the show?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yeah? No, I feel like I want him to be
a part of it, but not necessarily like a huge
part of it. I do think it's stressful when you
know you're bringing someone in like he is. He does
not watch reality TV. He has no idea, I know.
I found that very endearing when we were at dinner.
He does, he does, he has no clue what you
know what I mean. Our rules are like, so I
(26:29):
don't want to just necessarily throw him in there and
be like, Okay, you know, I want him to be
a part of it. I want him to be a
part of it. It's like my career at my job.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So yeah, I thinks I saw on Beverly Hills the
women that were on there longer were not bringing their
significant other to like the group dinners or the group parties,
but they would show their partner, you know, at home
or dinner privately. And after like the first season and
(27:00):
halfway through my second, I'm like Okay, No, I get
it because when the husband's get involved and say something,
it goes sideways.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Oh, it's never good. Like yeah, yeah, there's Jeff's personality
is so easy that he gets along with everyone and
he's not like overbearing where he wouldn't necessarily just be
talkative and like, you know, if we.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Were filming, Yeah, no, I could I sense that from him?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, well he's Aquarius, right, Yeah, yeah, I'm Aquarius too.
We were talking all of us at the dinner, so
we're easy going. Usually he's so easy. Everyone loves him.
I have yet to meet one person that said that they.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Don't love him. I'm like, everywhere this guy goes, everyone
loves him.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Thank you. I'm happy for you. I like you amazing,
and I feel like you're gonna have so many good
things happening for you.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Closes, You've got all true waiting to open for you.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Now. It's so true. Now I feel good. It's so weird.
When I was doing the recap of the year for
Instagram and looking at photos and stuff, it's so surreal
looking at the first half of the year. Because Aaron
and I split in July, and it was so strange.
I felt like I was looking at a completely different
person in life, and I almost came to look at
(28:20):
photos of he and I at all. It's just he
feels like such a stranger too. But it's very strange
how I don't know if someone could be in your
life every day and then in one day, because we
spoke the day we split, and now I've never spoken
to him since, and it's very weird to have that.
It's healthy and good, but it's still an adjustment when
(28:42):
you're it's like, all of a sudden, this person isn't in
your life and we were together nine years. But it's
interesting seeing the difference, but also me feeling different too,
Like I feel like I can breathe and I'm not
walking on eggshells. So I'm excited about like a new chapter.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Two, a new beta version of you, a new better
version of me. Thank you so much better? Like and
you know what, who brings their entire family to someone
else's house? Like that's insane?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah, I know, it's been an interesting. Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I feel like you need to keep me posted on
the people when you do start dating. I need to
be involved in like your day to day because I
need to know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
You're not the only one that is. I'm some guy
moving with you with his like brother. Why I didn't.
I was actually out of town when they came down.
I was told, but I was told it was just
his mom and dad, and then all of a sudden
it was five people. So whatever, if it is what
it is, I feel like.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
At least now you know what it is, you're moving forward.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, if there was ever a doubt that this what if?
Mostly because of how he's been during the actual divorce
part of it, you know it.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
What's interesting people always say you really get to know
who they are after like your first fight or your
second fight, how they nagget like how they navigate through conflict.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
You know, It's true. Definitely. I've learned a lot. Speaking
of looking good, you look amazing. What are you doing? Like?
You eat well obviously, and I.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Eat awful like I you do. My son Preston is
here and every time I'm like, oh, I want chocolate cake,
He's like, don't do it. So he's kind of like
my drill sergeant. And then you know, Jeff and I
have been working out every day, but I just I
eat whatever I want. I need to stop doing that.
I need to be more disciplined.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
But you look good. You're you look so healthy, and
you look so young too, Like don't you sometimes forget
how old we are.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
And it's like, oh shit, by the way, I don't
want to remember.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I'm good, I know, but I think it's different now.
And you know, you also have such a youthful spirit,
so I think that obviously comes through too. So you
look very very young, and you're such a great business woman.
You have your own tequia. I want to hear, like
how that started and did you go and you know,
(31:05):
test everything, like what was the experience?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Like, so, my dad, it must have been like twelve
years ago. My dad called me. He's like, hey, I
think we should do a tequila my one of my
business partners has a distillery and halis goo and he's like,
I think we should go down there and do it tequila.
I was so busy with my kids and sports, and
I was so in the thick of things as a
mom that I couldn't do it. I'm like, Dad, I
(31:29):
don't have time. I wish I could, but I don't
have time to do this. Fast forward it must have
been four years ago. When I was talking to my
dad again, I was like, you know, I should have
did that tequila and he's like, it's not too late,
you should do it. And so I called one of
my best friends and business partner, Adam Weitzman, who is
just a great business person. I called him and I
(31:51):
was like, do you want to do a tequila with me?
Should we go and create the most amazing tequila? And
he was like I'm in. Let's go. And so we
created this brand, really designed the bottle from scratch.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
So fun.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, it was such a great process. You know, went
to Mexico. I don't even know how many times to
get the perfect taste. We just in one squ we
did in Yeho and it is so smooth, so good.
I never get a hangover the next day when I'm drinking,
and I'm just really proud of it. It's like a
great product.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
So this was something that I learned and I hope.
I don't know if it's true or not, or that
you can only get it in Mexico. Get the agave?
Is that true?
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Well, I mean I'm sure the best agave is in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Okay. Yeah, And then how did you when you were testing?
How do you even know like what notes are like,
I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
A lot of notes, so for instance, like the smell,
the taste, the aftertaste, and then if there's like a
lot of preserve, there's like a lot of different ingredients,
I feel you get a hangover the next thing, right,
But I didn't want it to be one hundred percent straight,
you know, no additives because I feel like you need
a little bit of vanilla, a little bit, you know,
(33:10):
just a little seasoning too it just to give it,
you know, a little smoothness to it. So it's amazing.
I'll send you a bottles.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Really hard fun.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
That's fun to have your own tequila and you know,
and that's the thing I think with housewives and also
just being you are such a strong woman, and you know,
you're ambitious, and you like you have a career and
to be able to have your own businesses and you
also have your larca light. I think it's so great
(33:41):
to see women, especially you know, we're not twenty five
years old, and to be able to start businesses at
any age I think is so inspiring for other women.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
I mean, it's it's been so much fun. It's been
so much fun.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
I love all the all.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
The brands that I do, Like I started my first
brand with Larce Marie Jewelry and I had it at
Stacks and I loved it so much. I literally designed
every piece of jewelry like that was my first baby.
And then I did the Larsa Light, I did a Lujo.
I started a dating app called date dot com.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You have a dating app.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Yeah, that's why I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
I can know that you actually had one. I just understood.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
It's called date dot com, the best dating app. It's
powered by AI. It's you can't get catfish because for me,
it's like my, well, my friends were on all these
different dating apps. I would be like, give me your phone,
let me see what you're working with. And the guys
did not look like they did when we met him.
They did not well, I believe that for years. This
(34:44):
photo was taken twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
That's so funny.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
And so I was like, no, we need to create
a dating app where you have to use the actual
app to take the photo. And smart, yeah, you upload,
you take a photo. You can't just upload it edited
a photo of.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Your yourself that is actually really smart.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, And basically you can like message multiple guys. So
if you like, if you're interested in four or five guys,
you can message all five of them one time. So
it takes like twenty seconds to be like, hey, how's
your weekend going, and you spend it to five guys
or fifty guys?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
You know. Okay, So if I ever do do a
dating app, I'm going to call you. I didn't realize
you actually had one.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, I thought you were on one before.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Oh I love it. I have all my girlfriends and
every time I look, I'm like, these guys are so hot.
You know my friends. You know, some of these girls
don't want to go out. I'm like, how are you
going to meet your guy?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Ie?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
You don't go out, you have to get on a
dating site. You have to be proactive, like if you
want to have fun and get out. I'm not saying
you need to be in a relationship right now, but
I do feel like there is something fun about texting
ce guys.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I mean, we you know what right now? Though I
and I've never been this way. I'm so trusting, but
this was a doozy, this last one.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
That I think it's going to take me a minute
to trust someone again.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Yeah, no, I'm you know a yeah, maybe if they
could sign an NDA before we even text or something.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
It's twenty twenty six. You have to sign an NDA
before before you hear my voice.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Like, that's true. And then what else are you that's
also so great? Like doing your because you're so creative,
and to be able to do jewelry and to do
a tequila and your your light and other products. I
think that's so fun to be able to brand and
come up with all different things. Have you ever thought
(36:46):
about or maybe you do have one that you're working on,
something like with your kids that you guys can collaborate
together building coming out with a product or.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
That would be so fun. I feel like if I
did a it would be with my son Preston, because
he's super talented. He's very creative, and.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I feel like you and one of your kids are
going to do a product.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Yeah, that would be so I never thought of it, Denise, Oh, well, well,
now you can think of something that you guys can do.
I literally never thought of it. I feel like he
is the only one that has a little bit more
time than the other boys. And Sophia is just seventeen
and she's in high school, so.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
She's also And you do you go back and forth
between You're mostly in Miami. You don't go back to
La going back and forth. For three years, I was
in LA full time. Then I was going back and forth.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
And I feel like I kind of got over LA,
Like it's just it's so slow.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I mean, it's changed a lot.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
I think in the last when I first moved through,
I thought it was like I thought it was the
greatest place on earth. I was like, I love being
in LA. It's going to be so much fun. And
I feel like during COVID, I just nobody would go out.
You go to restaurants are dead, there's nobody doing anything.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
It is different from Miami.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Yeah, And in Miami we're like out every night, like
we go work out. The classes are full. You go
to restaurants, it's full. It's just more lively. There's more action.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah, definitely, And I like the action.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Like I'm not I don't want to be bored at home,
you know, it's not it's not fun for me.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
And do you? And do you? And Jeff travel a lot.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
We bought I bought this house a year ago, and
I've kind of been working on my house.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Like that's a breat project. Yeah, no, it's it's fun.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Every time I think I'm done, Jeff's like, thank god,
you're done, and I'm like, nope, I want to do
this or I want to do that. And I made
this poor guy crazy.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
And do you still have your condo?
Speaker 3 (38:49):

Speaker 3 (39:17):
Well how old were you when you went to La
I Well.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
My dad moved us to Ocean Site, which is near
a little north of San Diego, when I was fifteen,
after my freshman year of high school.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Okay, okay, and when did you move? Well, I married
my ex husband when I was like twenty two. Okay,
so you're that's right, You're we had a place here
in Florida, and then we had a place in Portland, Oregon,
and Texas and Chicago, and so we kind of went everywhere.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Did you go to college in Chicago?
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Wow, so that was a big move.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
Yeah. But you know what's interesting, I love Chicago so much,
but once I left it, I felt like it just
the weather's so.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
I know that's why my dad moved us.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
And summer there like every year, but I just don't
want to be there for the winter. It's so good.

all different places. It was so cadut there. It was.
