Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 castBravo

Bravo started the latest season of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" with a drama-filled premiere that no one actually expected. 

In her sophomore appearance in the hit reality show, Shannon Beador admitted Monday that her husband David had an affair despite reconnecting last season. Beador recalled how David confessed about the affair on April Fool's Day while undergoing a couples' counseling session.

"At the time when it should've been the best year of my life, he started an affair. I caught him whispering to this person on the phone and I suspected something was wrong," the reality show star shared. 

The construction company CEO initially brushed off her suspicions, but she discovered several hotel receipts in her husband's briefcase. However, Beador said that she will never consider leaving her husband, and she will do whatever it takes to keep her family intact.

Last season, the Beadors managed to surpass a rocky stage in their relationship. David even suggested that they should give up fighting for their marriage completely. But the two eventually patched things up, until the infidelity happened. 

But while Beador stopped talking to co-star Tamra Judge because of their falling out last season, Judge claimed that she already knew about the affair since last year. 

In an interview with OK! Magazine, Judge said that Beador already had her suspicions about her husband's infidelity for a while, but she decided to keep it a secret at first. Judge also believes that her co-star chose to talk about the issue now since there are more people who also learned about it, and she was afraid that the issue will explode without her consent. 

She also claimed that she is very proud of Beador for facing the issue head on, saying: "She could've easily brushed it under the rug and said, 'Oh it's a lie.' But the truth of the matter is it's very real." 

Meanwhile, Vicki Gunvalson's boyfriend Brooks Ayers is back in her life, and he is now battling cancer. Gunvalson has been exerting a lot of effort to take care of her boyfriend, but Ayers is giving her a hard time. 

Also, Judge announced that she will welcome a new member in her family, after her son Ryan got a girl pregnant. However, instead of being the doting grandmother, it seems like Judge would want to claim the baby as her own. Will this become a problem for the rest of season 10? 

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" airs every Monday on Bravo.
