Taylor Armstrong Returning To ‘Real Housewives’ For ‘RHOC’ Season 17, First Franchise Switch

Taylor Armstrong, who is best known as an original cast member of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, recently returned to Bravo for their Ultimate Girls Trip spinoff series and is now returning to a main franchise of the series.

It’s just been announced that Armstrong is coming back to Real Housewives of Orange County, which makes it the first time a housewife has swapped franchises.

Armstrong was a memorable personality in the first seasons of RHOBH, with her lavish birthday party for her young daughter Kennedy being one of the first major setpieces of the show that set the tone for the entertaining and sometimes obnoxiously extravagant of the cast.

She was first married to Russell Armstrong when she appeared on the reality series, who passed away to suicide after the filming of its second season. She also later confirmed that Russell physically abused her throughout their marriage, something her castmates suspected on the show.

Armstrong has been married to attorney John Bluher since 2014.
