The Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson opened up about her split from Brooks Ayers on Monday's Watch What Happens: Live.
The 53-year-old reality star got candid with host Andy Cohen about why she and Brooks ended their relationship.

"Him being from the South, he really wanted to go back to the South," Vicki said, adding that the "stress of the show" was yet another factor. "At the end of the day, it just didn't work anymore."
