Gretchen Rossi's 'Very Excited' to Have Kids with Slade

But the O.C. Housewife isn't in a rush to become mommy.

By Lauren Metz


Last season on The Real Housewives of Orange County, Gretchen Rossi wondered if beau Slade Smiley's job situation and child support woes would tear them apart. So have they? Not at all.

"We're doing good," the handbag designer updates HollyscoopTV on the current state of her three year relationship. "I'm just so blessed to have such a great partner. He helps me with everything. He supports me with everything, so that makes a big difference."

But don't get her wrong; like any long-term relationship, at times there's trouble in paradise. "We have our fights," she admits. "We have our moments as we've all seen on TV, but overall we just love each other and we feel really blessed."

While there's no blingy ring to report, Gretchen does confess that she has babies on the brain. "I'm very excited to have kids one day with him. I'm looking forward to all that." But don't plan this blonde businesswoman a shower any time soon. Gretchen's perfectly content just playing mom to her two dogs for the time being.

"I'm in no hurry," the 33-year-old California native says. "I'm loving life right now. I'm in a great place. I'm building my companies and my career. I'm loving every second of it."
