On Saturday, July 19, The Real Housewives of Orange County<\/a> mom shared a quick but positive update on her relationship with Jo De La Rosa<\/a>. Tamra posted an Instagram Story of her and the RHOC alum posing side-by-side in what appeared to be a parking lot. Although Tamra didn\u2019t provide details about the reunion, it was more than clear that the ladies were still on great terms.<\/p>\n

\u201cNever a dull moment with [Jo De La Rosa],\u201d she captioned the photo, which Jo reshared on her account.<\/p>\n

Tamra Judge would “love to see” Jo De La Rosa back on\u00a0RHOC<\/p>\n

Tamra returned to Instagram several hours later to answer a few fan-submitted questions, the first of which read: \u201cThe 20th [RHOC] season is coming up! Any wives from previous seasons you\u2019d like back?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWould love to see [Jo De La Rosa] back!\u201d Tamra wrote. The reply was accompanied by a photo of Tamra and her husband, Eddie Judge<\/a>, hanging out with Jo at Morton’s Steakhouse.<\/p>\n

Tamra made similar comments in a 2024 interview with Bustle<\/a>, explaining why she would like to see Jo return to the Housewives franchise.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Jo] De La Rosa from the first two seasons,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve become close with her. She appears in Season 18, and I think she\u2019d be great on the show again. She\u2019s older now and looking to move back to Orange County, so it would make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"BlueJo De La Rosa makes a\u00a0RHOC Season 18 cameo<\/p>\n

Jo made her Bravo debut in 2005 as an original\u00a0RHOC cast member. She stepped down from her full-time Housewife role after Season 2, the year before Tamra joined the series. Jo went on to appear as a guest in seasons 3, 4, and 18. Her most recent cameo was in the October 31, 2024, episode<\/a>, in which she attended Jennifer Pedranti<\/a> and Ryan Boyajian<\/a>\u2019s engagement party hosted by her longtime friend Alexis Bellino<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She reflected on her brief OC return in a 2024 interview with Us Weekly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It was my first time meeting the entire cast,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cThey were all new to me, and they were honestly the sweetest. Everyone was so kind to me. Some of them were like, \u2018I used to watch you on your first season.\u2019 To me, that was crazy surprising.<\/p>\n

“It feels very full circle to me,\u201d Jo continued. \u201cWhen I was first [on the show], I had just gotten engaged at 23, and now I\u2019m married. We\u2019re trying to have a baby. It\u2019s very full circle.”<\/p>\n

While filming the RHOC inaugural season, the Peruvian native was engaged to Slade Smiley<\/a>. The pair officially called it quits in Season 2, years before Slade started dating Jo\u2019s good friend, Gretchen Rossi<\/a>, who became an OC Housewife in Season 4. Gretchen and Slade have been engaged<\/a> for over a decade and share a 6-year-old daughter, Skylar Gray Smiley<\/a>. The romance caused a fallout between Jo and Gretchen; however, the ladies apparently buried the hatchet at BravoCon 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Is Jo De La Rosa returning to Orange County?<\/p>\n

Jo is now married to Taran Gray<\/a>, a musician\/producer she met on Hinge in 2020. The couple intended to return to Orange County in 2025, but scrapped those plans after Taran lost his job. Jo explained the situation in a June 22 GRWM video<\/a>, saying she and her hubby decided to downsize and found a new home in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been crazy,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re literally going through one of the toughest seasons I think that our marriage \u2014 and our relationship of five years \u2014 has ever come across\u2026 We get the keys tomorrow to our new place. I\u2019m really excited.”<\/p>\n
