This season, the truth threatens to tear everyone apart, as one of the wives celebrates the miracle of life and another is stricken by tragedy. Vicki's on-again off-again relationship with boyfriend Brooks Ayres takes a big leap with the news that he has moved into her home in Coto de Caza. After finding herself on the outs last season, Tamra tries to reinvent herself as she celebrates the birth of her first grandchild. Heather is overwhelmed raising her four kids, launching her businesses and staying on budget as construction continues on their mega mansion, while her husband Terry spends more time working and less time by her side. Lastly, Shannon prides herself on being an open book, but with her marriage still a work in progress, she will do whatever it takes to keep her family together.

Meet the new housewife:

Meghan King Edmonds

Wife of baseball superstar Jim Edmonds, Meghan hails from St. Louis and is new to the OC. Her towering height and model good looks might intimidate, but she won't let anyone take her up to bat. As Jim's third wife, she is closer in age to her 17-year old step-daughter Hailey, than to her husband. With Jim often away for work, Meghan has been thrown into the role of instant stepmom and is not only struggling to find her place in her newly formed family, but also within the OC social scene.

Season ten of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" is produced by Evolution Media for Bravo, with Douglas Ross, Greg Stewart, Alex Baskin, Bill Langworthy and Bill Fritz, along with Scott Dunlop, serving as Executive Producers. Andy Cohen also serves as Executive Producer.
