Garcelle Beauvais on ‘RHOBH’ Friendships & Dorit’s Separation (Exclusive)
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Garcelle Beauvais is getting real — real busy — this summer!
“Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi spoke with Garcelle about her new Lifetime movie “Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love” and what’s to come on “RHOBH.”
The single mom of three is shooting Season 14 and soaking up the drama of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
She said, “A lot of the women are going through really big life changes and, of course, that affects how they deal with us and the group. It’s gonna be fun. Some friendships have shifted. It’s gonna be really good. I’m optimistic about this season.”
Beauvais shared her take on Dorit Kemsley’s separation, saying, “We just finished shooting, so of course we’ve been in touch. It’s hard, I mean, listen, I’ve been through a divorce with little kids — it’s not fun. I hope they can get to a place where they put the kids first.”
Is Garcelle dating this season?
She answered, “I would love to. When it’s time… I feel like I have been really busy and if someone was in my life, I would’ve actually felt a little sorry for them because I would not have been around. But I’m absolutely open to it. And when things slow down, I’m going out. I’m not going on the Bumble like Sutton does, but I will find my way.”
Beauvais is finding romance in “Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love,” in which her character Ava falls for a man who’s 20 years her junior.
Garcelle revealed if she would ever date someone younger, saying, “I’m not looking for a guy that’s 20 years younger than me, but if I found a guy where the connection is right, the vibe is right… I’d consider it.”
She emphasized, “Age is just a number. It’s really finding a person that fits your life, your journey, where you’re at. I think that’s really important.”
Still, the 57-year-old admitted that she wouldn’t date someone in their 30s since she has a 32-year-old son. She joked, “I’m still raising boys. I don’t need another one.”
“Tempted by Love” premieres August 17 on Lifetime.
Garcelle Beauvais is enjoying an eventful summer filled with both professional and personal developments. In a recent conversation with Mona Kosar Abdi from “Extra,” Garcelle shared updates about her upcoming Lifetime movie “Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love” and a sneak peek into what fans can expect from the 14th season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” (RHOBH).
Currently filming Season 14, the actress and single mother of three is deeply engaged with the ongoing drama of RHOBH. Garcelle mentioned that many of the cast members are experiencing significant life changes, impacting their interactions within the group. She expressed optimism and excitement for the upcoming season, highlighting notable shifts in friendships.
One of the more talked-about issues was Dorit Kemsley’s separation. Garcelle revealed that they have kept in touch since they finished filming. Reflecting on her own experience, she showed empathy, understanding the difficulties of going through a divorce with children involved. She hopes that Dorit and her family can prioritize their kids during this challenging time.
When asked if she is dating this season, Garcelle admitted that she would love to find romance but has been too busy to focus on her love life. She believes that if she had been in a relationship, she might have felt guilty for not being present. Garcelle is open to dating but notes that she won’t be joining Bumble, unlike her co-star Sutton.
Interestingly, Beauvais is set to explore onscreen romance in “Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love.” Her character Ava finds herself falling for a man twenty years her junior. When questioned if she would date someone younger in real life, Garcelle shared that she values connection and compatibility over age. She believes that finding someone who aligns with her life and journey is more important than their age.
However, the 57-year-old actress mentioned that dating someone in their 30s might be off the table, humorously noting that she already has a 32-year-old son and is “still raising boys,” so she doesn’t need another one.
“Tempted by Love” is set to premiere on Lifetime on August 17, providing a fresh perspective on love and relationships, adding another feather to Garcelle’s cap in what promises to be a remarkable summer.
