AceShowbiz - Vicki Gunvalson has taken her relationship with her boyfriend to a whole new level. The former star of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" couldn't help but gush about being "happy" after introducing Michael to her family in Illinois.
On Saturday, June 18, the 60-year-old took to social media to post some pictures from the family gathering. In the snaps, her new man was seen putting his arm around her waist as they posed next to her relatives.
"My heart is happy. So great introducing Michael to my amazing family," the TV personality gushed in the comment section. "Lots of laughs and tons of fun. #midwestern #family #love #pizza #baseball #grandchildren."
Vicki confirmed her new romance back in February. At that time. During her appearance on Access Hollywood's "Housewives Nightcap" series, she said of Michael, "He's the first man that has ever really treated me to anything. He's like, 'I got that. You're not paying for that.' ... I'm like, 'Are you, like, real?' "
Vicki, who didn't reveal his name at that time, went on to rave, ""He's freaking incredible." She added, "I gave him an 18 [item] list of what I want in my next person because [through] all the books you read and all the self-help, you manifest your person right? So, I manifested him and he had everything but one [quality I wanted], including wearing cowboy boots and loves country-western music. He doesn't have a boat and I'm like, okay, I'll take that one off."
Vicki noted that they actually exchanged numbers about six years ago but she forgot about him. It was thanks to her former "RHOC" co-star Kelly Dodd that they were able to hang out in person.
"He's like, 'You and I met six and a half years ago and you didn't give me the time of day.' And I go, 'We did not.' He goes, 'Let me call your number.' He calls it. Sure enough, his name appeared," Vicki recalled. "I'm like, 'I don't remember you.' He's like, 'Because you were preoccupied. ... You were not ready. Are you finally ready to date me yet? I've been waiting.' "
Vicki additionally likened her relationship with Michael to "Disneyland." She elaborated, "I mean, really, in my mind, I'm just so happy. I've never had a man treat me like this and he is just quality -- just a quality man."
