The video depicted Shantei holding up a pregnancy test and revealing the exciting news to Oliver, who initially struggled to believe he was going to be a father again. However, he eventually processed the information and embraced the joyous announcement.

How many kids does Oliver Saunders have?

Oliver Saunders, a resident of Las Vegas, is the father of Oliver Jr, whom he shares with his ex-wife Samatha Saunders. The couple's son came into the world in February of 2020. In addition to this, Samantha is also a mother to three older children from a previous marriage.

Who is Oliver Saunders’ ex-wife?

Oliver and Samantha Saunders officially became husband and wife in a beautiful ceremony held in May 2020. Fast forward to a year later, the couple decided to mark their first wedding anniversary with a romantic getaway to the sunny beaches of Florida. 

Interestingly, during the filming of 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 10, Oliver, who works at Vanderpump à Paris, was caught in a scandalous moment where he was seen kissing Raquel Leviss. To make matters worse, Oliver claimed that he and Samantha were separated at the time.

However, Samantha later revealed to the SUR hostess that they were still very much together when the infamous on-screen kiss occurred.

“Since oliver has started working at @vanderpumpparis he has disrespected me and my kids in every way possible. He has made jokes about my mental health and suicidal thoughts with coworkers. He has committed adultery with coworkers and guests of the restaurant [sic],” Samantha shared in an Instagram post.

She went on to say, “I have found out he has made out with Raquel while filming @lisavanderpump & plans to continue to go on a date with Raquel while filming. He continue to lie to me and say he wanted to work on things but behind my back continue to talk bad about me and disown being a stepdad [sic].”

Why did Oliver Saunders and Samantha Saunders get a divorce?

Samantha initiated the legal process of divorce from Oliver in January 2023, which came four months after she accused him of cheating. Additionally, Samantha revealed that Raquel had claimed to be unaware of Oliver's marital status at the time of their relationship.

"Raquel said she confronted him at the date that was filmed, but I can’t trust either one so I don’t truly know what was said on that date after everything came out," Samantha revealed.

She further added, "Raquel called me. We talked on the phone the day that I aired all his stuff out. I did not want him to write a false narrative of what happened. I was told to say nothing because we want to protect his reputation, but how is that fair!? He wrecked a whole family! My kids were devastated."

Samantha mentioned that the couple had never considered getting a divorce until she stumbled upon this kiss, as well as other rumored extramarital relationships he was reportedly engaged in.

"We had no plans of divorce until I found out what he did at the beginning of September. I also found tons of other women he was cheating on me within his direct messages," she alleged.

Samantha claimed, "Yes, he wants to be on any show. My understanding is he was telling Lisa Vanderpump we separated so he told the girls and thought he should go out with them when they came to town. I then had a gut feeling something was off when he posted the picture with the girls."
