Emily Simpson has always been super supportive of her daughter, Annabelle, most recently opening up about the 10-year-old’s burgeoning modeling career. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on  Peacock and the Bravo App.

In the video above, which is a clip from Season 17 Episode 4 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Emily opens up about supporting her tween’s interest in professional modeling. “Annabelle just like came out of the womb with this huge personality,” she says in an episode interview. “She’s been interested in modeling for many years. I just wanted to make sure that she’s to the point where she would take it seriously, and I feel like we’re finally there.”

Emily went on to share an exciting update on Season 17 Episode 5, which aired on July 5. “Annabelle signed with a modeling agency,” Emily noted in an interview, adding, “I think Annabelle modeling at her age right now is a good thing for her because she would have to be somewhere on time, she has to be respectful. She needs a little professionalism in her life. She’s wild.”

She added in the episode: “Being around my kids all the time and being so invested in their life, it really brings up a lot of memories about my own childhood. You know, when you’re growing up, you don’t know that your mom should get up with you every morning and make sure you have breakfast. No one did that for me, and that’s kind of weird, kind of sh-tty… And I think as parents, our goal is to do better than the generation before us, which isn’t that high of a threshold, honestly.”

As Emily embarks on her life as a stage mom, she’s sharing more details about her daughter via Instagram.
