Who is Noella Berneger?

Noella is married to James Berneger, with the couple tying the knot in June 2020; but as of August this year, news has it that the two have decided to split up. Noella has already started making headlines in this regard even before her debut episode has aired.

Although Noella is ready to star in the new season of the reality show, we're yet to know whether the divorce will be a setback for the budding TV star, who won't technically be a "housewife" per se, if or when the divorce finalizes. 



 



 

With the latest news of divorce on the table, Noella may see a change in her lavish lifestyle since the divorce came out of the blue for her. The split will also raise a lot of questions about her financial future while she cares for her two kids as well. The couple got married in June of 2020 (only a year) and Noella has admitted time and again that she was shocked by her husband's sudden decision to file for a divorce. 



 



 

Noella completed her school education at Local High School. We're yet to know more of her early life and educational background so here's hoping we get to know Noella better as the show moves forward. So far, we know that Noella is joining the cast of the reality show, and is reportedly quite close with a current cast member, Braunwyn Windham-Burke.

Season 16 of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' is set to premiere on Wednesday, December 1 from 9-10:15 pm ET/PT on Bravo. To watch the previous seasons, tune in to Peacock.
