POTOMAC, MARYLAND: 'Real Housewives of Potomac' Season 8 is on the horizon and we will get to some new faces in the show's upcoming season. Nneka Ihim is one of the newcomers set to join the cast of Bravo's show. She is a licensed attorney, who was born in Beloit, Wisconsin. She is of Nigerian and American descent. 

She graduated with a law degree from the University of Wisconsin. Soon after, she practiced law in Los Angeles for a decade before heading back home.  

Then, she worked as a university correspondent at CNN from September 2009 to June 2010 in Ann Arbor. Soon after, she began working as a student attorney for Legal Services of South Central Michigan Inc.

Currently, Ihim is working as an "in-house employment counsel for a global financial technology company." She loves to travel and her vibe is fun. 

In addition to this, Nneka is also a champagne connoisseur, businesswoman, and founder of an alcoholic beverage company, Bido. She recently began a non-profit that goes by the name of A Life of Lux. She is also working on a dating app called Hello Africa. 

In the show's forthcoming season, the fans will see Nneka clashing with Wendy Osefo after the former accused Wendy's mom of doing 'voodoo' on her.

Wendy said, "My mom worships our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ," to which Nneka replied, "At day. By night, she's submitting names to shrines."

As per the official website of Bravo, Nneka's mother is a stay-at-home mom who raised Nneka and her three older siblings, meanwhile, when we talk about her father, Leo Egbujiobi, he is an interventional cardiologist by profession.

Who is Nneka Ihim's husband?

The name of Nneka's husband is Dr Ikenna Ihim. Their love story started while she was practicing law in Los Angeles.

Now, these two lovebirds have been married for almost two years. They are living in Potomac at the moment.

Every now and then, Nneka keeps sharing photos of herself and her husband on her Instagram page.
