This season's newest housewife is a 30-year-old blonde bombshell with a sparkling personality, dazzling smile and -- something very few Orange County women have -- real breasts. Gretchen Rossi's outward beauty is obvious, but is her beauty only skin deep? Gretchen is engaged to Jeff, a wealthy businessman who made his fortune in the automotive industry - and who just happens to be 23 years older than her. Jeff's been married and divorced five times, has four adult children and is very rich. Jeff also has acute Leukemia. Gretchen openly admits that she's not physically attracted to Jeff - he's not her type. But she also says that he is her "prince charming" and the kindest man she has ever met. Jeff proposed to Gretchen from his hospital bed just months after they began dating. She did not expect that she would become Jeff's primary care giver during his cancer treatments. Is Gretchen a saint, after money....or both? She is a party girl who likes to go to nightclubs, drink and dance. But there is more to Gretchen than meets the eye as she switches gears to becoming Jeff's nurse, learning how to give Jeff injections and managing his demanding daily care. Jeff wants to buy a house in Coto for Gretchen and his adult children. Although Gretchen likes Jeff's kids, she wonders about the pitfalls of having an instant family, especially while Jeff is recovering. Gretchen grew up in La Cresenta, CA and attended Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where she studied psychiatry. Following college, Gretchen went into the then-booming real estate industry, but quit working to take care of Jeff full time. She meets the housewives through fellow realtor, Jeana Keough. The wives are suspicious of her, mostly because she is younger and very sexy.
