How to Watch

In a first look at Sunday’s episode, Mia reveals in an interview that “Jacqueline is like our sister wife… without benefits,” referring to her husband, Gordon, and herself.

As revealed at the beginning of Season 7, Jacqueline “joins as a friend. She and Mia are so close that one might think they are sisters, but some unusual behavior has the ladies wondering what the real story is.”

In fact, Mia and Jacqueline’s friendship runs even deeper than fans may realize. “A lot of people don’t know this, but Jacqueline’s mother and my stepmom were best friends in high school,” Mia said. “And I found a picture of her mom in my stepmom’s photo album, and to find out that it was a full 360 situation, we were like, ‘OK, I’m kind of stuck with you forever now. Forever.’”

In fact, when Jacqueline stops by Mia’s house to hang out, she notes that “there are so many layers to our relationship, literally from childhood, that they [the others in the RHOP group] will never understand.”

To learn more about the two ladies and to hear them address some spicy rumors concerning them and Mia’s husband, Gordon, check out the full clip above.
