New Housewife Emily Simpson Is Friends with Real Housewives in the O.C. and Beyond

The Real Housewives of Orange County's Emily Simpson made her debut as a 'Wife on Season 13. And though the new Season's premiere episode was the first Bravo viewers met Emily, the Ohio native is well-acquainted with several personalities in the Bravo world. 

RHOC alum Gretchen Rossi recently tweeted her congrats to Emily for getting her orange (a festive occasion indeed!) and reposted a photo from Ricky Santana. In the photo, the new 'Wife is pictured alongside Ricky, Gretchen, and fellow RHOC alum Lizzie Rovsek. The group is at an event filled with balloons and lollipops (because why not?), and Gretchen wrote: "That was such a fun night!" 

But Emily's Housewives friends are not just in Southern Cali — they're also in the real South. The Real Housewives of Dallas pal LeeAnne Locken seems to be a fast fan of Emily, and tweeted at her: "I knew we were gonna be friends — you keep it REAL." Emily wrote right back to LeeAnne, using lots of fist-bump emojis to underscore the new sisterhood. 

LeeAnne's fellow Dallas wife Stephanie Hollman also showed social media love for Emily, tweeting, "Cheering you on girl," before the Season 13 premiere.
