The two met in 2010 after Tamra separated from her ex Simon. “I’m dating this amazing guy that I’m totally in love with and he’s hot — super hot,” Tamra shared in the Season 6 premiere of RHOC, which aired in March 2011.
Eddie proposed to Tamra with a ring in a clamshell while the two were vacationing in Bora Bora during RHOC Season 7. After getting engaged, Tamra and Eddie moved in together. They got married on June 15, 2013, as documented in Tamra’s O.C. Wedding Special.
Over the years, Tamra and Eddie have opened (and closed) businesses together, as well as dealt with Eddie’s health issues. Through it all, they’ve remained married — for over a decade now.
In July 2026, Tamra shed new light on her romance with Eddie, telling Bravo Insider they are “best friends.”
“We get along, we have fun, we have our little arguments once in a while,” she explained about the secret to making their marriage work. “We get over them, but we do everything together. We’re always together.”

And so I was working six days a week; Ryan was at my mom’s house most of the time and it was what it was. So it was a lot of practice. I was…19 years old trying to raise a 1-year-old and I wasn’t fit to it at all and I didn’t get remarried ’til Ryan was 13,” Tamra recalled.
Fans have seen that, as adults, Ryan and Tamra have had a close relationship throughout RHOC.
Tamra recently opened up about Ryan’s life as a dad today when speaking to Bravo Insider in July. “Ava is 11 years old,” she said. “Ryan’s doing amazing. I mean, I have a 40 year old son now, which is crazy.”

In June 2023, after returning to RHOC for Season 17, Tamra appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and gave fans an update on where things stand between her and Sidney today. Tamra revealed that her relationship with her oldest daughter was in a “good” place. “I actually saw her at Sophia’s [high school] graduation, and things were nice,” she said.
During Part 1 of the RHOC Season 19 reunion, Tamra shared that she had finally met up with Sidney after she came to visit Sophia at her house last year. “We talked about life for 30 minutes,” she told Andy Cohen. “And then she said, ‘Mom, can I just hug you goodbye?’ And she hugged me, and I held onto her for so long. And I just said, ‘I can’t let you go. I just can’t let you go.’ And it was a really, really special moment.”
More recently, Tamra shared during the June 23, 2026 episode of The Orange Doesn’t Fall Far that things are still strained between her and Sidney after that meet-up. “I’ve had a glimmer of hope last year when she came to the house to see [Sophia]. We had a little bit of conversation, then she wouldn’t talk to me again,” she explained.

Tamra’s youngest son, Spencer, was born in 2000. He has appeared on RHOC throughout the years, and fans have gotten the chance to watch him grow up.
These days, “Spencer and Sophia live in the same apartment building, but not the same apartment,” Tamra shared with Bravo Insider in July 2026. “So they can watch over each other, ’cause they’re about 45 minutes away from me. Sophia’s going to school out there. Spencer graduated from the same college.”
Who is Tamra Judge’s daughter Sophia Barney?
Tamra’s younger daughter, Sophia, was born in 2005.

“Sophia has been just a natural performer since she was little,” Tamra explained to Bravo Insider. “And we decided to do this podcast together… And we’re gonna be interviewing mom, daughter duos.

Who is Tamra Judge’s ex-husband, Simon Barney?
Simon was Tamra’s husband when she joined RHOC in Season 3, though fans quickly learned their relationship was in a tough place. The couple got in a huge fight in the season finale in which Tamra declared, “I want a divorce.”
Their divorce was finalized in 2011.
The two have found themselves in a more amicable situation following Simon’s battle with stage 3 throat cancer, which he first confirmed to People in 2020. At the time, Tamra told the publication that “any ill feelings between the two of us just vanished” when she learned of his diagnosis. “All we have to do is rally together to make it through this,” she added.
Who is Tamra Judge’s mother, Sandy Baker?
RHOC fans know Tamra’s mom, Sandy, well, as she has appeared on the show a number of times. Most recently, in Season 17 — which aired in 2023 — Tamra revealed that her mother was living with her and Eddie.
“I sold my mom’s condo, and she moved into our casita. We’re counting down the days until she leaves,” shared Tamra, who wasn’t pleased with how often Sandy’s boyfriend, David, had been staying at the house. “I don’t think it’s anytime soon.”
“I don’t need any sexual noises coming from my 70-year-old mom into my 17-year-old daughter’s ears,” Tamra quipped in a confessional.
