BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Dr Paul Nassif from the 'Botched' fame and Adrienne Maloof, a Beverly Hills couple, exchanged vows in 2002, but their union faced its share of challenges. A decade later, the couple decided to part ways, finalizing their divorce in November 2012 through a settlement agreement.

The divorce proceedings were notably contentious, with Adrienne making accusations of physical abuse against Paul. However, in more recent times, the exes appear to have moved towards an amicable relationship.

Reflecting on his experience on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills', Dr Nassif believed that being on the reality show accelerated the downfall of his marriage with Adrienne Maloof.

When questioned about the possibility of joining the reality show again, Dr Nassif expressed reservations to ENews. He stated, "I don't think I'd ever do something like that again, especially if you look at my background with this."

The doctor appeared on the Bravo reality show during its first three seasons, coinciding with Maloof's tenure as a main cast member.

He emphasized that letting cameras document their lives played a role in expediting the end of their marriage.

How many kids do Dr Paul Nassif and Adrienne Maloof have?

On May 2, 2002, Paul Nassif married Adrienne Maloof, a prominent businesswoman from the Maloof family. The couple embraced parenthood with the birth of three sons: Gavin, Colin, and Christian.

Their residence was situated in the opulent neighborhood of Beverly Hills, California. While both Maloof and Paul Nassif maintain a relatively private approach regarding their children on social media, occasional glimpses, like a photo shared by Maloof in March 2023 after attending a family wedding together, offer fans a rare insight into their family life.
