Simon, I think you are fantastic and think most women would love to have a husband like you! I know I would. Actually, I did and sadly he passed away a year and a half ago. He was a very wonderful man and treated me exceptional. I miss him so much and find it refreshing to see a relationship like you a Alex have. I love to watch you and honestly, I don't think many people have what I had and you and Alex. Your critics are just jealous. Ramona isn't fit to wipe your feet. You and your wife take care and take care of each other. Life is short and a relationship like yours is worth more than money could ever give you. I think you know that. God Bless.

Dear Simon and Alex
Alex, you were so sweet when you said that Simon promised to protect your heart. And he always has. I just thought he was great after that. Eventho I do not like his pink pants or joining in on girls night out. Shopping with him would be a dream.
I live in Torrington Ct where the New Yorkers buy condos in a private setting. There are 470. It's very children orentiated with three pools,jacuzzi,tennis, sking, horses, gym etc etc. Why don't you buy my place. Two hours from Manhatten. It's cheap too and gated.
Call me. Jean

Dear Simon and Alex,

Pardon me for the informality, but you have sort of been introduced to millions of people by your first names. I find the whole show very entertaining! It gives me a glimpse of a life I would not want to live, but have been curious about. I am small town, and of no importance. So it is fascinating seeing people who can and do drop thousands of dollars at a time for charities. Me, I bake brownies and sell them for .50 each; but we all do what we can. Of all the people I've seen on all the "housewife" shows, there are only a few I'd be willing to have lunch with, or have to my house, and you two are among them.

Please keep up with your charity work - in these times people who are willing to help are more necessary than ever!

Oh - and I hope you can ignore all the ad hominem attacks! That is what people do who have no other way to express themselves. And I am sure you don't need feedback from me to know how lovely Alex and your children are. It is nice to see such a warm, caring family.

Sincerely,
Claudia Cranford

simon ..I have to say..I only wish there were more men like you in the world. Not only are you handsome but you are true gentlemen with style and very very classy. I think throughout all the shows you have come across the most intelligent by far and the only couple with manners on the show. I am from the uk and only watch the show because you and your family are on it.

You have carried yourself very well and I think you can both hold your heads up high because you are both very classy people with great taste and hey for Bethenny who does not want to aspire to a nice life whats wrong with that?

As for your wife she is so so pretty and I love the way she dresses. She is very beautiful both inside and out and she has the greatest figure ever. If I had her figure I would be proud.

As for your adorable children..so cute and very clever. Well Simon..I think you are the greatest....Handsome and a true gentleman.

Oh and about your house, do you know something that showed you and your wife were real people not living a lie ..just been real with no airs and graces just great real people who were not obsessed with how there house looked but what was important..your beautiful family xx love lillytree UK

Simon ... you were great with confronting Ramona. She has absolutely no class and "DEPTH". Kuddos!!

Simon I must say that I am finally starting to get you. At first I didn't understand your sense of humor and you came off a little eccentric but now I am seeing a charming man who loves his wife and children dearly. I think that everyone has misunderstood you and I hope they come to see you for who you truly are...one cool dude!

Simon:

I don't usually comment on blogs, but after viewing a rather later episode of tonight's show. I feel that I must say something. You're obviously comfortable with your own style; love your wife and children without regard to what your "cast mates" think!

If more of the world enjoyed travel, shopping, relaxing, and family time there'd be no need for antidepressants! Oh, and pardon me for being crass, but there would also be a few more trees saved, because the sticks up the uptight fannies of the world makes me want to hop a plan and join a commune some days myself.

So, dear gentleman, as the kids say these days, "Do you!" You do it well.

Ciao!

Simon, I think you and Alex are a wonderful couple! It's REFRESHING to see a husband who devotes quality time with his wife, whether it be at home, shopping, dining, or traveling. Don't take to heart anything Ramona has to say. I believe she is the one with no depth! While so many marriages fall apart as couples grow apart, I believe your marriage will be one that will endure! Kudos to you both!!!

You and your wife are fantastic!

Simon....You have class and are a gentleman. On the other hand Ramona needs some class. She acts like a idiot!
Ramona definately needs a new wardrobe, her clothes look trashy.
I enjoy watching you and your wife on the show.

I gotta support you and your wife. You seem like "normal" people that I can relate to. Unlike the crazy, no depth Ramona. That woman has ISSUES.
I skip all of her segments. She's the one with negative energy.

Don't you think that the way you confronted Ramona, yelling right in her face in the front row of a fashion show was inappropriate. I am disappointed, I thought you were such a gentleman; I hope you do not repeat this behavior in the episodes to come.

It does not matter if she likes you, as long as you are happy with your family, why should you care how she feels about you?

Simon

I love your blog. I think you are right on track. I also agree that you have class and always have when dealing with Remeana. Your a better person than I would be. Good luck.

> bloggers who cannot take Simon being on the show. don't you all remember what Alex said in the last season? she said that "it's just pure T.V. and noise" and that's exactly what they're doing! besides, adding Simon there is another paycheck, and who would say no? with exposures and "fame". but I still don't get it though, I think the producers should change the name of the show. don't u think? here's my suggestion: "The Real Houseband of New York"
>Simon, how do u feel being the only "houseband" in the show? don't u have job to keep u busy? just like all the other husbands in America. (just curious?)

you are so not gay... can everyone please just move past this!

Simon,

Originally I did not care for you and your wife because..let's admit it: you two are little different. However, I have come to really like you two. You always know the right thing to say when catty women attack you. I especially liked when Alex disclosed how you two met because it was really down to earth and Alex's relationship advice was right on point. I think you should write about relationships or about witty comebacks when people attack your character. It was hilarious when you asked Ramona "how would you know?" after she called you shallow.

I think what you and Alex have is special. Be the bigger person and just ignore Ramona. You guys dont need her approval or anything else. Confronting her was not cool but understandable. Keep letting her make a fool of herself you dont need to take the low and sallow road.

Simon, if that is your real name....Give me a break!!! Sexy, stylish, romantic, heterosexual, HOTEL OWNER....Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie etc. You've added the "euro-loser" to this show. I am of the impression you just wanted to see if you could make a name for you and your. How can you continue to mislead people by pretending to live this extravagant lifestyle that you obviously do not have? You are the "MANAGER" of a hotel, "not" the owner. If I were the owner I would have you fired for such blatant misreputation. And writing a parenting book...who, you and your wife? Have you ever watched the Super Nanny? You probably should. Being loving parents does not necessarily constitute being a good parent, much less give you the upper hand on teaching others how to rear their children. Open your eyes and be honest with yourself.

I just have a few questions for Alex & Simon.

1. Where are you from?
2. what is your occupation and who is your employer?
3. Simon why do you insist on being on a Women's show?
4. What is your family background?
5. What kind of an education do you have?
6. What are your credentials to make you Socialites?
7. What makes you qualified to write a childrens book? When you have the most unruly children, with no manners, and they still talk baby not, they don't pronounce english properly.
8. Simon Why do you always insist on getting into cat fights with all the women.

I really wish they would make this show for Real women. and ask you to step back and let your wife do the show alone, or if you cant do that then both of you leave.

please simon, get your and your wife's teeth fixed you guys look like triler trash trying to be someone you are not, and please utton your shirt

I loved the episode of Alex and you soaking up the sun in your Walmart spa. It proves that there are hillbillies in NYC.

I think Simon, has great style. And it's even more great to have a good and fun relationship, with your wife.......a man who loves to shop is a plus.

Simon,

Do you have a brother?

;D

Simon - Great blog...I love the play by play. Keep it up!

Simon,
So good to hear from you.I think you should write a book on how to treat your wife.Most men could learn a thing or two from you.Also don't take any crap from Ramona,shame on her for treating another human being the way she does.
don't ever chenge we like you just the way you are.
Dawna

Simon,

I have to tell you, throughout all of Ramona's temper tantrums, you have remained calm and classy and have shown what a true gentleman you are. Kudos!

Hi Simon!

I wasn't so sure about you and to be honest, sometimes I am still not! (i.e. your taste in clothes!) I do like that you dote on Alex and you're a great family man, husband and father. My fiance (who is British!) and I are best friends too and do most everything together. If my girlfriends ask me to go out with them, I ask if he can join us. If they don't like it, I stay home. Thankfully, my girlfriends have never objected because they are wonderful, secure, women who would never be as rude as Ramona!

I think some women are jealous because their men don't want to spend time with them. My man is ALL man. He isn't into the whole shopping thing, but he goes and has a good attitude. We socialize together and and enjoy the same hobbies. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Stay true to yourself - that's all that truly matters, Simon!

SIMON I LIKE YOU . YOU TREAT ALEX LIKES SHES A QUEEN .THERE SHOULD BE MORE COUPLES LIKE YOU.AND YOU ARE RIGHT THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING TO CHANGE YOUR STATION IN LIFE.STAY DRAMA FREE!!!!! H TOWN

Hi Simon--I have to say--you & Alex really seem to be a nice couple and I am sick of people putting you guys down!! Especially Ramona. She needs to get a "Filter" for her mouth before she speaks!! I think it is terrible that she is so open about her dislike of you & Alex!! She needs to seriously buy some class!! So--stiff upper lip you guys--Rock on!

I really think the idea of writing a book about raising toddlers in NYC is a great idea. I support your decision, as what I have seen from previous shows, it shows me that you are letting your kids be that, kids. And not little wind up toys that you control or place on a shelf to be looked at but not experienced as human beings. I think the silly housewives forgot or never had a childhood...boo hoo!!!
What is refreshing about you and Alex is how real you are, and make no excuses for it. That is the best way to sleep soundly at night. "Viva L'Amour"

This show was seriously desperate to put you and Alex on the show. You two are most sad with your social climbing needs, and even more pathetic in openly admitting that you are social climbers on national television. I fast forward out of all scenes that involve you two. Your accent is so fake, your "Europeaness" on the show is laughable as well. As for your children, you should be focusing on teaching them the English language and it's usage, as this will be the main language they will be speaking in the American, English speaking schools they will attend. They can learn other languages as they get older. It is not as if they will fail if they are not fluent in French in Pre K. Good grief, let them be children, however, you might spend more time teaching them manners, social skills and how to behave out in public, especially if you are going take them out to dinner with other families in a public setting. No one but their own parents would find them so adorable as to ignore their terrible behavior issues. If you believe they are genius enough to be learning so many other languages, then you should believe that they are also capable of learning table manners and respect for others, even at their young ages. And please do us all a favor and keep your creepy body fully clad, even if it is in your silly wearable art. Show it off to your wife, but spare the rest of us.

Simon, I was just watching some RHONYC from last season and I found it hilarious that you were going to the Met in that ridiculous tuxedo! I was thinking the last time I saw a colored bow tie with matching cumberband and handerknief was at my high school prom circa 1987!!! So not "In Vogue" as you would say but "In Vogue 22 years ago" hahaha! LMAO!!!! Were you trying to match it with your hair color?

Simon,
What are u doing? when did u become a housewife? This show is for women, especially on women's night out. And if your wife can't go without then she should stay home too.

Oh I agree with Susan...confronting Ramona...in the front row was horrid. Reminded me of a first grader whining to another....why don't you like me?? waaaaaa

We just love you Simon...You are GREAT! I really respect the love that you and Alex share. It's genuine. Pay no attention to the negative-talkers out there :)

Simon, I have to tell you that the relationship that you and Alex share is quite refreshing! Above all else, you two seem to truly love each other and adore your children. I was especially touched when Alex spoke of your wedding night, and the whole story of how you met was fantastic! :) It just proves that wonderful things can happen when you least expect them! I have not seen every episode, but I can't IMAGINE living in an environment where everyone speaks so harshly of each other (behind their backs!), where status and wealth are measured in such ridiculous terms, and it seems difficult to find TRUE friends. It would be amazing for anyone to find a spouse...and yet, you and Alex have THRIVED! Best wishes to you, and your boys. Can't wait to see the renovations come to fruition. Perhaps you and Alex could get your own show and let the remodeling be the first "storyline!" :)

I love all of the husbands on RHONYC. I think Simon adds a lot to the show. I also think Bobby is great.

Oh Simon do write a book about marriage and the ways you and Alex remain so close and in love. You two are clearly one in a million. I would love to read the secrets!

Simon - shame on you for getting in Romona's face at the fashon show. You sir, are no gentlemen. That was not the time or place.
The show is "New York Housewifes" if you are not a housewife - back off just a little and only show up when the other husbands show up.

Simon,
I think that you are odd, but in a good way. I like watching you with Alex. Of course, my husband hates the show. I think that you treat Alex like a Queen and its very sweet. I also think that you two are the most original of the couples, and marching to the beat of your own drums. Leaders not followers. Keep doing your own thing. I like it that you dont have to HAVE the house in the Hamptons. You go and do your own vacation. You have a house vs's an apartment. Stay original.

OMG, Simon - it's great that you, now, have a blog on here. Aside from hearing your 'take' on everything, it is so going to PO Bethenny, Jill and RaMOANa. Welcome, Simon!

Simple Simon,

You refer to yourself as "Real". But, your actions speak louder than words. You did not correct the job title when introduced as the owner of the hotel that you allegedly work as GM. You referred to yourself (& A) as public figures. Although you proclaimed that you were the acting General Contractor on your own renovation, you went into vacation mode and did not actually oversee the work that ended up not be handled because you took off for St. Bart's. Don't whine now. Workers need to be lead. You should have hired a competent General Contractor for the job in the first place. Your vanity project will cost you far more than money & time by the end of this project. You claim to be a caring parent. Yet you allowed your small children to be exposed to hazardous conditions in your dangerous work site (er, home). You sir, are a fraud upon the people.

Simon,

I think it is great that you and your wife are each other's best friend. I feel the same way about my husband of ten years. I choose not to have "girlfriends" because as we can all see, they are-for the most part-jealous bitches. Don't worry about what people say.

Simon,your care and love for your wife and family is sincere and nice to see. I haven't understood the criticisms this season...seems silly...obvious that you and Alex are a package deal, which is refreshing. The only thing that turned me off a bit was the shopping. While you're entitled, for certain, mentioning the total spent was a little tacky. (Maybe I was just jealous as I was rolling change to make my car payment! Ha!) No...just seemed like a number that didn't need mentioning. Clear that you two have expensive taste and we don't need the total. Just a thought! You guys are good folks, enjoy watching your story.

Hi Simon, I think you & Alex have got a fantastic marriage, the best of all the "Real Housewives"... all 3 shows. You treat her like a queen & she treats you like a king, very good!
About some thinking you're gay, that's ridiculous! I think it shows a lot of self-confidence that if you want to wear pink or yellow, you do it. An insecure man would never ever do that. You march to the beat of your own drummer & for that, I applaud you.
Keep being yourself. 1 favor: please don't write the parenting book... no bueno. How about a book about remaining best friends with your spouse? Now that is a book people would buy!

At first I thought maybe you were weird but you are starting to grow on me! What you and Alex should maybe stop is your spending spree and sink that into an in ground pool for yourselves. Also Alex seems to be a very nice person. So what if you don't have all the money that the rest have just keep building a good life for your family. Alex should start her own business!! Anyway I'm starting to dig you both!

Keeping it real!

You and Al are weird and wonderful-and you DO have that David Bowie vibe goin' for ya-I wanted to tell you to forget about the crack-ey Ramona-you've said your piece, like you said, now let it lie. You have shown you are above the fray that she wallows in, and you have nothing to apologize for. I did not care for your characters last season, but for some strange reason, I find myself drawn to you and big Al....and I want you both to protect yourselves from the vampires like Ramon-ugh and Countess "Above it all". They are poison. Best of the best to you and yours!

At the party, you were introduced as the owner of the hotel instead of the manager -- you didn't correct the introduction-- I think that is very misleading. I think the love you show for your wife is great but that was VERY tacky to me. Be proud of what you do, you should have corrected the error be proud be real you really disapointed me as a person that works hard in the real world

Simon,
Why are you on the show? I noticed at one of the parties you attended that you were introduced as the owner of the hotel? I thought you just manage that hotel. You should get your own show and let your wife shine because this is all about the Real Housewives of NYC! What's with the act? You are not French!
Ginger

Simon what is the name of your hotel I will be in NY in a month and would like to stay there?
