So far this season, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is bringing us everything we want from our favorite Mormon and Mormon-adjacent ladies: winter time chic outfits, petty she-said she-said, and even a few new faces. (Not the Beauty Lab & Laser kind, but that too.) On top of Jennie Nguyen joining the cast, we are also getting a new "friend of" on RHOSLC, Angie Harrington.
Lisa and Angie have actually known each other for over 20 years and met while working in a call center back in their late teens, early 20s. The pair "bonded over their love of fast food." (Love that, Lisa voice.) While they have known each other for over two decades, after last night, the state of their relationship was up in the air since Lisa may or may not be the reason why the caterers canceled on Angie's event last minute. Only time will tell on that front.
In the meantime here's everything we dug up on our new Housewife friend, Angie...
Angie is a lifestyle blogger and influencer
Angie told The Newsette that the goal of her blog, The Fashion Fuse, is to “help others to look and feel their best to become their best at any price point.”
Angie is married to Chris Harrington
Angie and Chris married back in 2017, both having been married with kids before. Chris is the President of Global Revenue and the CRO at Entrata, a company that "provides software to the property management industry."
LGBTQ+ Rights Are Important To Angie & Her Family
Angie and Chris have a transgender child and in the episode, they throw a fundraiser for Encircle, a non-profit that "builds safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, young adults and families."
Angie and Whitney are related... kind of
Angie and Whitney are technically cousins, both being related to Shadrach Roundy, the body guard of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.
Angie is not Mormon
Angie and Chris do not consider themselves Mormon. Angie says that "until [the LGBTQ+ community] have the same rights that the rest of us have, we don't know if it works for us."
Word on the street is that both Jennie and Angie were suppose to be a "friend of" but then Jennie was upgraded to full time. Wonder if there was any beef there? Seems like it could be a fun distraction until we get to the Jen Shah of it all.
