Heres What Kristen Taekman Has Been Up To Since Leaving RHONY
Kristen Taekman first joined the Real Housewives family back in 2014 alongside Bethenny Frankel, Ramona Singer, and the rest of the New York ladies!
Although she nearly became a one-season wonder, the star managed to find herself as a full-time cast member for 2 seasons, leaving many fans upset over her departure after season 7. Despite leaving the show, Kirsten has not only remained close to a handful of 'wives, but she's also continued her eff0rts in business.
With six years having passed, Bravo viewers are curious as to what the former RHONY star has been up to, and after a little diggin', we're covering just that!
What Has Kristen Been Up To?
Kristen Taekman made quite a splash when she joined the cast of the Real Housewives Of New York City back in its sixth season.
Taekman joined the ranks of Heather Thomson, Ramona Singer, Luann de Lesseps, and Carole Radziwill, however, she certainly did not get along with all of them. The Pop Of Color nail polish designer and model clashes heavily with Singer during her first go at the series.
A paddle splash led to a wine glass to the face, ultimately starting Kristen's feud with Ramona. This carried over onto season 7, however, Taekman and returning cast member, Bethenny Frankel, took the lead when it came to their feud.
This marked Kristen's final season on the show, leaving many to wonder what she has been up to since. Well, following her release of Pop Of Color, which Bethenny wasn't a fan of, Kristen went from modeling and nail art, to focusing on her fashion blog, Last Night's Look.
While she doesn't remain too close with any of her former RHONY co-stars, Kristen is very close to former RHOBH star, Brandi Glanville. The two had been friends from back in the day when both were walking the runway as models.
Although Brandi lives in California, their friendship has only managed to blossom even more after Kristen Taekman and her family ditched New York City for Los Angeles! Kristen, her hubby Josh and their two kids Cassius and Kingsley made way for the West Coast and have been happily living there since.
Despite being such a tight family unit, the Taekman's took a hit when it was revealed that Josh Taekman was a member of Ashley Madison, a dating website for married men.
“I signed up for the site foolishly and ignorantly with a group of friends and I deeply apologize for any embarrassment or pain I have brought to my wife and family," Josh told Us Weekly at the time. "We both look forward to moving past this and getting on with our lives."
Although it came as a shock, Kristen assured fans that she and Josh were not splitting up. In an interview back in 2016, she revealed that the scandal "100 percent" made their marriage even stronger and her word appears to stand true to this very day!
