“When you break up with somebody, you don’t continue to sleep in their bed and you don’t continue to live with them,” the “RHOC” alum tells Page Six.
Gunvalson and Lodge posed for this picture together in March 2021 for the “RHOC” alum’s birthday.“He obviously fell out of love with me, and I guess I didn’t want to believe it to be true because we didn’t fight,” the “OG of the OC” says. “We didn’t have issues other than the fact I was leaning back, not trusting him. And there was a valid point. Why? Because obviously, he had somebody on the sly. So I don’t know what to say other than the facts.
The “RHOC” alum says the former California gubernatorial candidate was still staying with her at her house when he lost the election on Sept. 14. She says she asked Lodge what his plan was, to which he replied, “I don’t really know yet.” The next day when she left for the filming of “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” Season 2 in Massachusetts, Gunvalson was blindsided to find out Lodge had gotten out of Dodge.
“I had no idea he was already planning on moving out when I left,” she says. “I had no idea there was another woman. He was home with me every single night.” Gunvalson shared with Page Six images from dates she had with Lodge from June to August 2021, a month before their official split.They also attended a Toby Keith concert in June and were all smiles.
