It's been nearly a decade since Bravo fans were first introduced to Aviva Drescher on Season 5 of The Real Housewives of New York City. She departed from the franchise just after two seasons, but not without getting the last leg.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.

In Aviva's short stint on the series, she was able to make a name for herself, as she was known for being the first and only New York City-born and bred 'Wife. The RHONY alum is also widely remembered for her fierceness, but most importantly, for not letting the other ladies walk all over her.

Although it's been years since Aviva last graced our screens, it doesn't mean she still doesn't run through our minds. In fact, this is the perfect time to do a deep dive into everything she has been up to since stepping away from the limelight. Get all the details on Aviva's family life, career, and more below!

What has Aviva Drescher been up to since RHONY?

For starters, Aviva is no longer living in the Big Apple. The RHONY alum, her husband, Reid Drescher, and their kids Harrison, Hudson, and Sienna moved from the Upper East Side to Miami in 2022. Aviva gave a glimpse inside her trek from the north to down south in a June 2022 Instagram photo of her holding a box while standing alongside some friendly movers.

“Best experience ever moving tons of stuff from NYC to Miami!” she captioned the photo. “A seamless experience with the perfect service… Thank you so much for all of the help!!”

In February 2023, Aviva shared how she’s been adjusting to life in the 305 when posting to her social feed about her dermatology journey. “I forgot how to post on Instagram it’s been so long,” she captioned the post. “Moved to Miami and totally focused on new schools etc.”

As for Aviva’s youngest kids, Hudson and Sienna, whom she shares with Reid, they’re thriving teenagers. Aviva also has a stepdaughter, Veronica, Reid’s first daughter from a previous relationship.

Sienna finished 5th grade. Harrison working this summer and finished sophomore year at Georgetown. Upwards and onwards! Happy Summer everyone!

Who is Aviva Drescher’s father?

Speaking of family, one notable person who made plenty of memorable appearances on RHONY was Aviva’s father, George Teichner. As fans may recall, the now 87-year-old married his 25-year-old girlfriend, Dana Lavette Cody, privately in 2014.

And while George and his wife chose not to have any family present at the wedding, Aviva made sure to send her well wishes. As she told US Weekly at the time, "I am so happy for my father and Cody! They did get married! They eloped!"

The last time Aviva provided an update on her father was in March 2020, after she expressed concerns for his health due to the pandemic.

The trio attended a Broadway play together, and the ladies instantly connected. It was also noted that Fran was a driving force in helping Aviva decide to join RHONY. She told Aviva that she could be a role model for other amputees.
