AceShowbiz - Coronavirus outbreak has affected Vicki Gunvalson and Steve Lodge's wedding plan. "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star and her fiance were supposed to be elopping this month, but the pair have decided to pull the plug on the nuptials due to the crisis.
In an interview with HollywoodLife.com on Thursday, April 2, the Bravo personality shared, "No. We're doing nothing. I told him the wedding's off. We’re doing nothing." The delay, however, didn't negatively affect their relationship as Vicki assured during the interview on Instagram Live that that they're "still engaged."
"We're still going to get married," the 58-year-old TV star went on saying, though she admitted that she wasn't "rushing to get down the aisle right now. There's a lot more I've got to do which is keep this business and my staff who's not here right now."
Vicki later talked about how she's spending time during self-isolation. "I said I would never do a podcast because I didn't really understand who would listen to a podcast because I work all day and the last thing I'm going to do is listen to a podcast," she said. "This podcast is a whole new world for me and so I think I've done six right now. We've got a couple in the bank. I just launched today -- Terra and Debra Newell [who inspired the true crime series 'Dirty John']."
Steve popped the question in April 2019 after dating the star for about 3 years. Dishing on how Steve proposed to the Coto Insurance founder, a source said at the time, "He made her a romantic meal at home and then popped the question on Monday night." The source added that Vicki was "shocked" when he got down on one knee, but her kids and his kids might not be that surprised with the news as he had given them the heads-up. "He got all of her kids' and his kids' blessings before he did it," the source spilled.
Vicki then took to Instagram to break the happy news. Posting a photo of her and her new fiance, Vicki showed off her engagement ring that featured a giant diamond set on a gold band. She captioned the picture, "I said 'YES'. #engaged #happy #mylove."
