Have you ever pondered the current friendship between Lisa Vanderpump and Garcelle Beauvais? It appears so! We now know more about one of Lisa’s most unexpected but completely wonderful friendships thanks to Instagram.
Lisa left the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills years ago. The restaurant owner and philanthropist has nevertheless kept in touch with a number of cast members over the years, including Camille Grammer, Sutton Stracke, and Joyce Giraud.
And now we can add Garcelle to the list.
Fans learned about their friendship status on October 20 when Lisa shared an Instagram post after being on an IG break for over two weeks.
“Helloooo… I am back,” Lisa captioned her selfie. “Been working away, sending love to you all and praying for humanity,” she added.
Lisa’s post received comments and engagement from several Bravolebrities, including Vanderpump Rules‘ James Kennedy and Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Heather Dubrow, both left heart emojis on her post.
But the comment that received the most likes and interest came from Garcelle, who wrote that she hadn’t seen Lisa in a long time.
“Miss you,” the Beverly Hills housewife wrote, adding a heart emoji for good measure. Lisa replied to her comment with a “Miss you too!”
Thank goodness for IG keeping us up-to-date.
Unlikely friendship
Due to Lisa’s departure in 2019 before Garcelle joined the show, the two never shared a screen on RHOBH. But in 2022, the two made it clear that they were pals when they were spotted hanging out at Lisa’s à Paris, the restaurant where Garcelle’s son works.
While at an NBCUniversal event in 2022, Garcelle discussed their friendship and the two of them first met. She was organizing a fundraiser for Haiti at TomTom. So, I ran into her there. I was smitten by what she was doing.
She added that she and Lisa “chatted and sat at the same table, and I mentioned my son was looking for a job in Vegas, not knowing she had a place there. And so it turned out that he worked for her.”
Garcelle said her friendship with Lisa was organic and had nothing to do with the franchise. “We don’t even talk about the Housewives together,” Garcelle confirmed.
