Adriana de Moura Is Selling Her Waterfront Miami Home for $5M


Bravo.com:
Adriana de Moura is about to be a lot wealthier … once she sells her nearly $5 million Miami waterfront home that is! The Real Housewives of Miami alum's 2,795-square-foot Spanish-style home is for sale for the whopping price of $4.895 million.

When we last touched base with Adriana she and her husband Frederic were rehabbing a 1920s yacht with plans to move on board with her son Alex. Whether the boat is ready to sail, or Adriana is just ready to move on from her exclusive Hibiscus Island address remains unknown. She did list the property for $5 million in mid-july, then recently dropped the price by $100,000. While that sounds like a hefty price tag, $5 million is the average price for a home on the man-made island in the Biscayne Bay.

Luann de Lesseps Celebrates Her Bachelorette Party Without Real Housewives of New York City Cast Mates, But Jill Zarin and Miami Alums Were There


People.com:
It was girls’ night out on Friday night as soon-to-be-married Luann de Lesseps and 15 of her friends partied at the 51-year-old Real Housewives of New York star’s bachelorette party in Miami!

The event, thrown by Real Housewives of Miami alum Marysol Patton, was held at the famed Peruvian hot spot Coya — where the tight-knit ladies enjoyed a three-course sit-down dinner and an open bar cocktail reception featuring the club’s signature Pisco sour cocktails, a source close to de Lesseps tells PEOPLE.
De Lesseps was all smiles, wearing a sparkly tiara that said “Bachelorette,” a fur shrug and embellished T-shirt that said “Mrs. D’Agostino” — in honor of her fiancĂ© Tom D’Agostino, Jr.

He proposed to her in February with an eight-carat yellow-diamond ring after a few weeks of dating. Their relationship was the fodder for much drama on this season of Bravo’s hit reality show, as D’Agostino, Jr. allegedly had a “friends with benefits” relationship with Housewife Sonja Morgan —and had previously dated Housewife Ramona Singer.

Neither Morgan nor Singer were in attendance at the Miami party. Instead, the night was filled with alums of the Real Housewives franchise, including RHONY’s Jill Zarin and RHOM’s Adriana de Moura and Alexia Echevarria.

All the ladies shared shots of the fun on their Instagram page. It’s the first time Echevarria has been seen out since her husband, Herman, was found dead in his apartment on Sept. 26.

Alexia Echevarria Separates From Husband Herman After 15 Years of Marriage


USmagazine.com:
It’s over. Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Echevarria and her husband Herman Echevarria have decided to separate after 15 years of marriage, a source close to the Bravo star confirms exclusively to Us Weekly.

According to the insider, the Venue magazine founders have been separated for a few months now, and had been struggling with serious issues for a couple of years.

Despite their differences, the now-exes, who are currently living separately, will continue to run Venue magazine together. According to the source, Herman will remain a big presence in the lives of Alexia’s sons from her first marriage, Peter and Frankie. (Alexia was was previously married to drug felon Pedro Luis Rosello, who was sentenced to 24 years in federal prison after being part of one of the largest cocaine smuggling operations in the 1980s.)

However, there’s no chance of reconciliation. The insider tells Us that Alexia has contacted her attorney and will be filing for divorce.

The self-proclaimed Cuban Barbie opened up about her marriage to Herman in a 2013 Bravo blog post, crediting the businessman for serving as a father figure to her two sons, whom she shares with Rosello. 

“It’s uncomfortable to have to speak about my ex-husband, the biological father of my children, after we have been legally divorced for over 17 years,” she explained to fans after drama about her past marriage aired on the Bravo reality show two years ago. “As you all know, I've been happily married to Herman for the last 13 years. Peter and Frankie have always lived with me and Herman,” she explained of her situation. “[They] have been blessed with having two fathers in their lives.”

Is ‘Real Housewives Of Miami’ On The Chopping Block?


RadarOnline.com:
Is it or isn’t it? That’s the question when we think about whether or not the Real Housewives of Miami will be returning.

After a picture of Alexia Echevarria, Lisa Hochstein, Adrianna de Moura, and Marysol Patton hit the Internet, there were reports that the show would in fact be returning, with Patton even serving as a full-time cast member. But a source tells RadarOnline.com that this isn’t true at all!

“The show is NOT taping,” the source tells Radar, “and, as of now, has neither been renewed or cancelled. It is still in limbo, but I can definitely confirm that the show is NOT taping.”

In fact, the source even goes on to say that the four women are intentionally taking pictures together to spark rumors!

“These four women are intentionally showing up together at events in an attempt to make it seem like the show is back on and stay relevant,” the source continued, “but that’s just not the case. These appearances are all staged.”

Considering the photos might be “staged,” it’s questionable that Lea Black and Joanna Krupa are missing from the picture. The source notes, “That should tell you something right there.”

The idea of Patton returning to the show – should it return – as a full-time cast member would raise some questions, as the network downgraded her position last season.

“Marysol was only on the show for her mother, Elsa, and now that her mother can no longer tape the show, she definitely would not be brought back,” the source added.

Adriana De Moura Dishes About “Ignorant” Joanna Krupa, Says Brandi Glanville Told The Truth About Alleged Affair


Wetpaint.com:
With The Real Housewives of Miami wrapping up Season 3 tonight with Part 2 of the tumultuous reunion special, all eyes are on the cast of lovely ladies as they go through yet another hour of excruciatingly brutal catfights and name-calling. 

One of the housewives taking center stage at the reunion is Adriana De Moura, who has been on the Bravo reality series since the beginning. This outspoken Brazilian bombshell has been painfully honest and has taken the internet by storm with her “limp penis” statement. 

Wetpaint Entertainment spoke with Adriana ahead of tonight’s show about the rumored Joanna Krupa and Mohamed Hadid (Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster’s ex-husband) affair, possibly reconciling with Joanna, and her flailing friendship with castmate Lea Black.

Check out the interview and then hit the comments to let us know exactly what you’re feeling about all this drama down in Miami.

Wetpaint Entertainment: Can you give us a little background on your conversation with Brandi Glanville: Where she told you, how it came up, and why you think it’s true?

Adriana De Moura: Brandi told me a while ago — it was actually last year — but I didn’t want to bring this up because there was no reason for me to. I tried to work things out with Joanna at her bachelorette party, I went to her wedding, everything was nice. It wasn’t until when this season started to air and I saw Joanna, every week, putting digs at me and showing her hostility and rehashing the past, that I realized she hasn’t moved forward. 

I just think that it’s very funny that she thinks just because she’s beautiful she thinks her beauty gives her the license to act ugly. And when you retaliate, she’s overwhelmed by the retaliation and gets even uglier. 

Brandi came to me [at a party] when Joanna wasn’t around and told me Joanna tried to come to her and say hello and give her a kiss on the cheek and she coldly extended her hand because she doesn’t like homewreckers. She said, “I despise women like that.”

Who had the better wedding between you and Joanna?

I think they were both beautiful weddings and I truly enjoyed being at Joanna’s wedding. Her mother is lovely, I love her sister, the place was amazing, and I actually enjoyed myself more at her wedding than my own because my own was so chaotic. 

If you look at the details of the wedding, I think my wedding might have been more for my taste. I like more classic things. I don’t really like the flash, the new rich, style of things, I prefer vintage and classic things, but it’s personal taste. I don’t anything negative to say about her wedding — except that her dress was like a flamenco dancer, but she was still a beautiful bride.
Joanna has said she will never make peace with you again. Do you feel the same way?

Never say never. What I keep thinking is, never say never. But at the same time, Joanna is very territorial and is all about herself. She thinks she’s all that. I’m not saying I’m an angel, because I’m very fiery and feisty. Joanna is calculated. If you step on her route to whatever it is, she will walk all over you or throw you under the bus.
 
It’s going to be pretty hard to recover after that “limp penis” statement.

Now I’m getting criticized because I said [Romain] has a limp penis. But she was the first one to call him a girl on national television. She opened up about her sex life, and when you do that on national television, you have to accept people’s opinions or assumptions of what they’re seeing. When I said “maybe he’s gay,” I didn’t mean anything by that. He could be gay, that doesn’t mean that being gay is bad.

That’s what bothers me about her, she’s ignorant. She thinks that because she’s pretty, she’s allowed to be ugly, she’s allowed to make stupid remarks, and get away with it. She’s allowed to go around and sleep with married men and get away with it. 

So it doesn’t sound like there’s any hope for reconciliation anytime soon.

I don’t know — we need time to heal. The dust needs to settle.

Switching gears to Lea, what is the status of your friendship with her? Will it ever recover?

I hope that we could because of our sons. With Lea, it’s different because we had history. I really regret everything that went down between us and whatever part I did to cause her to feel that way, I really regret it, though I think she exaggerates it and makes stuff up and spins stuff and then she’s the victim — and it’s not quite like that. She’s trying to hurt me, but she’s hurting my son more than anything else because he goes to school, kids make comments, and it’s not a nice thing. 

I wish we could move past this because it’s not worth it. Her ego, my ego, whatever. Let’s put our egos aside and think about the boys — but she’s unable to. I don’t know what’s going to happen.

Joanna Krupa Weds as Season 3 of 'Real Housewives of Miami' Wraps Up


Zap2It.com:
Another season in the Sunshine State comes to a close as "The Real Housewives of Miami" wrapped Season 3 on Monday (Nov. 4) with star Joanna Krupa finally tying the knot with fiance Romain Zago. With Joanna's ending fairly common knowledge, the suspense was left in seeing how things came together for the rest of the ladies.

First off, we must discuss that drive to San Diego from Las Vegas after the ladies "overslept." Has anything ever seen more fake in the history of reality TV? The women supposedly woke up at 11, couldn't find a single flight that would get them to southern California by sunset (a flight that's only 45 minutes long) and had to drive. They pulled over somewhere to make a dramatic phone call and then still arrived on time. There's no way this occurred in reality. Simply no way.

With that complaint out of the way, let's look at how each Wife ended the season:

Adriana De Moura: Adriana really came full circle this season, especially in regards to her relationship with Joanna. Seeing these two bitter enemies come together and enjoy each other's company was a delight, as was seeing Adriana apologize to Joanna's mom for her bad behavior. There may be hope for these two yet. Sadly, it doesn't look as if the same can be said for Adriana and Lea Black. (More on that later.)

Alexia Echevarria: Alexia's storyline this season was entirely centered on her family; particularly, the recovery of son Frankie after his devastating accident. It's been interesting and touching to watch throughout the season, but with the finale squarely focused on Joanna's wedding, it made her feel rather inconsequential. Though she was only away from her family for three days, all of her screen time was spent moping about being away from them, which only worked to highlight how little she really factored into season's events. And Peter's arrival was so beyond staged. Oof.

Lisa Hochstein: After all the drama spurred by Lisa's insane drinking in Vegas the night before was quickly swept under the rug, which was actually a pleasant surprise. It was refreshing to see a fight not turn into some sort of elongated grudge.  The youngest Wife was missing her husband while at Joanna's wedding and the producers tried their hardest to make it look like their marriage was on the rocks, but Lisa spent a majority of the episode beaming over the fact that she and Lenny had found a surrogate to help them have a child. One of this season's most fascinating, if sad, storylines has been watching Lisa struggle with her fertility issues, which is what made the final moment feel like such a punch to the gut. Lisa's season epitaph revealed that she and Lenny lost their surrogate, continuing their struggle. Here's hoping Season 4 arrives with better news for these two.

Joanna Krupa: So, Joanna and Romain made it official. Their vows were sweet (but the less said about the dresses, the better) and Joanna's sister Marta even made peace with her new husband. Between that and her detente with Adriana, Joanna's looking pretty drama-free heading into the reunion specials. Of course, that won't last. There's always an incendiary blog post or tweet to be bitter over.

Lea Black: Lastly, there's Lea. What's there to say about Lea? Throughout her three seasons on the show, Ms. Black has made her fair share of enemies, thanks to her caustic and, at times, off-putting ways. But no rift was more surprising than the one with her BFF Adriana. Lea spun it so that her anger at Adriana was based on the whole secret marriage brouhaha, but it was so clearly about her bruised ego after last season's reunion. Adriana was persona non grata to her because she didn't blindly defend Lea against Ana and Marysol's (mostly true) attack.

Certainly, Adriana didn't spend the season an innocent party, but her apology to Lea, and her willingness to try and rebuild, seemed sincere -- which is what makes Lea's actions in that spa scene on the day of the wedding feel so ice cold. After telling Adriana she wanted to try to make things better, Lea was so transparently bothered by the peace between her former friend and her new compatriot, Joanna, that she did an about face and shut Adriana out. Watching Adrianna cry and basically beg, to no avail, felt uncomfortably real and sad.

Lea always presents herself as the Wife above it all, too mature and put together for these ladies' nonsense. But in this instance, she made it clear that she's possibly the most childish one of all. Not a good look, Lea.

Spare Parts:

- Joanna and Romain haven't slept together again since their wedding night? One: What the what? Two: Why share that?

- Season 2 castoff Karent Sierra got in her final cameo at Joanna's wedding. Thankfully it didn't come with a soundbite.

- Lea's considering running for mayor of Miami on "the platform of cleaning the streets of its trash." HAHAHAHAHA. Maybe she can wrangle Flo Rida or John Rich to sing her campaign anthem.

- Can Marysol Patton return full-time for Season 4, should there be a Season 4? There wasn't nearly enough Mama Elsa this go-round. Here's hoping Elsa's healthy enough for some cameos next year.

- So, who won Season 3's War of the Weddings? Adriana's was wildly insane, what with the required costume change and the inexcusable delays, but Joanna's felt odd, taking place midday in San Diego's unforgiving summer heat.

Adriana De Moura Talks Wedding Ceremony to Frederic Marq


USmagazine.com:
Fans of Bravo's Real Housewives of Miami got a glimpse of Adriana De Moura's elaborate wedding to Frederic Marq on the Monday, Oct. 14, episode of the series' third season. But a lot went on behind the scenes that viewers didn't get to see. Us Weekly sat down with the bride before the episode aired to get all the details on her ceremony, dress, reception, and more!
As seen on the show, art gallery owner De Moura and French hotel designer Marq tied the knot on Friday, May 17, at Coral Gables Congregational Church with 70 of their closest friends and relatives as witnesses. Fellow Housewives Alexia Echevarria and Lisa Hochstein served as bridesmaids, along with former Housewife Marysol Patton, pal DJ Kerr, and De Moura's niece Carla. All five wore white -- as did her groom and all of their guests. In fact, De Moura was the only one not in white; she donned a gray tulle gown by Gabriella Arango Couture.

The idea behind all the white, she explains, was to have "no negative energy. It was about peace and love and just purity in the sense of emotions and intentions." It was also, she adds, a nod to the Brazilian tradition of wearing white on New Year's Eve. "It signifies the passing, the purity, the new beginning...and that's what I wanted to do with my wedding," she tells Us.

As for the ceremony itself, which featured a couple of special performances by her 12-year-old son, Alex, who read Maya Angelou's "Alone" and played a Chopin prelude on the piano? "It was very intimate and very heartfelt," she says. "For me, I wanted it to be about my son being happy that finally now we are having a sacred moment where our families are really uniting -- having that symbolism, that ritual. And I think the whole ceremony was very heartfelt and emotional in that sense."

(De Moura and Marq have been engaged since RHOM started airing in 2011. Alex is her son from a previous marriage.)

The ceremony was indeed emotional -- for both De Moura and her groom. "He tells me that the moment it truly sunk in was when he saw me, the first glimpse he had of me walking down the aisle," she tells Us of Marq's feelings about the big day. "He said in that moment he just felt this rush across his body and he was really taken up with emotion. You know, that moment meant a lot to him...That's the moment he said he really felt a lot of emotion and he was like, 'Wow, you know, this is really happening.'"
It happened, all right. But not without a few hiccups. Though De Moura tells Us the ceremony "came out exactly the way [she] dreamt and even better in some ways," getting to the altar was no easy task. Marq actually lost his tuxedo a few hours before showtime, and De Moura was so stressed out by all the planning and preparation that she almost passed out.

"I was just so overwhelmed at a certain point, I felt like I was just going to faint," she explains. "I was just so drained by all of the things I had to do prior to and the day of that I was just literally almost passing out. I was just overwhelmed, physically and emotionally, I guess."
She eventually recovered, of course -- enough to party until almost 1 a.m. Following the ceremony, and a not-so-quick costume change, she and her guests headed to the Biltmore Hotel for a Great Gatsby-inspired bash, complete with a champagne sabrage (a ritual involving a sword and a bottle of champagne). 

"After we finally got to the party and the dinner turned into dessert and the champagne started rolling, we started to have fun, and then everybody was on the dance floor," she tells Us. "I danced with Frederic, I danced with my son, and I danced with my bridesmaids, and then everybody started dancing to my song. It was a fun party."

Joanna Krupa Relieved She Wasn’t Invited To Adriana De Moura’s Wedding


RadarOnline.com:
Joanna Krupa‘s hostility for Adriana De Moura oozes to the surface in this new blog from the Dancing with the Stars contestant-turned-Real Housewives Of Miami starlet, as she lists a number of reasons she’s relieved not to have been invited to her castmate’s wedding after seeing what a comedy of errors it turned out to be.

“The good news for me is that I wasn’t there,” the 34-year-old Poland native wrote on her Bravo blog, before listing most of the things viewers saw go wrong on Monday’s broadcast — including countless delays and a costume change in searing South Florida heat.

“So NO, I didn’t wait 1 1/2 hours for the ceremony,” Krupa wrote. “NO, I didn’t wait 2 hours to start eating.”

Krupa, who’s been battling DeMoura on the show, said she was glad she “didn’t have to stay and pretend I was happy after hours of delay for…what again?”

Krupa confirmed she “wasn’t invited,” clarifying that she’s never been so happy to “say so many NOs.”

As we previously reported, De Moura and Frederic Marq tied the knot this past May 17.

The Real Housewives of Miami airs Mondays on Bravo at 10/9c.

Adriana De Moura Dishes On Making Up With Joanna Krupa, Admits She Was ‘Afraid’ & ‘Anxious’


RadarOnline.com:
Adriana De Moura and Joanna Krupa’s volatile relationship has been a major focus on the Real Housewives of Miami and their fights have rivaled the New Jersey ladies but RadarOnline.com has the exclusive details about why they called a truce.

Their makeup session was a shock to viewers of the show who were convinced that the two beauties would only bury the hatchet in each other’s backs, but De Moura explained that it was not easy to get there and that she was “afraid” and “anxious” about their meeting.

It doesn’t make any sense to be fighting with her,” the brunette beauty exclusively revealed to RadarOnline.com about her blonde rival.

“The big fight started when she jumped in and we became enemies, but we’ve realized it was a reaction to a situation and so now we’re trying to put that all behind us,” De Moura explained.

“I’m in such a good place in my life and I don’t want to spend any energy fighting with Joanna.”

De Moura was 51 minutes late for the meeting with Krupa, and she explained her tardiness to Radar.

“I am Brazilian, we are notoriously late.  It was British versus Brazilian time.  But there were a lot of procrastinations on my part.  I was afraid, anxious and all of that plays in deep down so I was dragging my feet afraid of what would happen.”

Recalling their original fight, De Moura said that she was provoked by Krupa.

“As if I was just out of the blue getting angry? She forgets quite easily. I spent one hour of her insulting me, cussing and everybody has a breaking point.  I emphasized my reaction. I’m usually an easy person to get along with but don’t step on my toes.  I was standing my ground.”

“It is hard to live with a grudge and it is harder to hate than love. Hating somebody is negative and that is hurting me. I want to be free to be happy and free to love.”

Joanna Krupa Is Happy the Men Made Up — But Still Considers Adriana De Moura To Be "Crazy"


Wetpaint.com:
Real Housewives of Miami star Joanna Krupa is glad her then-fiance Roman Zago patched things up with Frederic Marq. Just don't expect her to do the same with Adriana De Moura anytime soon. 
"I think it was very classy and big of Romain to decide to meet up with Frederic," Joanna writes in her Bravo blog. "Romain isn't the type of person that will allow anyone to disrespect me, and the fact he wanted to set a good example makes me love him even more and proves that he has an amazing heart." Awww!

"The meeting with Frederic was strictly because he felt he wanted to make amends, otherwise he would have never showed up," she explains. "I admire him for meeting with Frederic and seeing past Frederic’s crazy wife, finding forgiveness, and moving on, since we will always see each other as we are part of a circle that has mutual friends. It made the most sense (at least for the men) not to hate one another."

And Joanna praises Lea Black for suggesting the trip to L.A. "It was sweet of Lea to come up with the idea to go to LA with me and bring along Lisa, because I am always open to hear other people’s advice and opinions, even though I was pretty set in stone on what I wanted for my wedding and how I wanted it to look," she writes. "I think we all were ready for a little getaway from the Miami drama and certain people."

Lea Black Says Marysol Patton and Adriana de Moura Are "Phony"


Wetpaint.com:
Real Housewives of Miami star Lea Black did not appreciate Alexia Echevarria calling her a "hypocrite" at the party  especially because Lea says she was doing her best to keep the festivities from getting ugly. 
"Being polite and not causing a scene with people even if you don't like them isn't hypocrisy, it's simply being civilized and respectful to the host and their guests, and it’s called manners," Lea writes in her Bravo blog. "And the shocking thing about it is Alexia daring to call me a hypocrite while I am trying to calm down the atmosphere instead of throwing gasoline on it."

"Rather than appreciate me wanting her party to be fun and fabulous instead of a brawl, she once again took an opportunity to take a pot shot at me," she continues. "I find it surprising a host would insult one of their guests that way. Especially a friend whose heart was in the right place." Then again, when is a party ever carefree on this show?

Lea says she's not a fan of what Adriana De Moura and Frederic Marq have been saying about her. "Frederic has called me an evil bitch," Lea writes. "He has never said one nice thing about me. He keeps telling his wife all the ugly things he wants to do to me and threatens me. And he has the nerve to say I talk about him. "

"While talking to Lisa, Adriana took talking in circles to the next level," she adds. "Did any of you get dizzy during the spin?" Sounds like Lea could use some Dramamine.


And Lea says she didn't enjoy Marysol Patton's scene with the psychic. "The 'psychic' set up was as phony as the five-year 'engagement,'" Lea writes, referring to Adriana's marriage. And so there you have it: Lea won't being patching things up with Adriana and Marysol anytime soon. Or be consulting with that psychic.

Adrianna Sidi and Joanna Krupa's Men Argue On Twitter, Get Into Real Life Fight At Alexia Echevarria's Party

HuffPo.com:
It was the men of Miami who took center stage on the latest episode of "The Real Housewives of Miami."

Now usually, viewers can count on the women to cook up some reason to be at each other's throats on a weekly basis, but this week it was their men. At least the fight was about the women, so they were still involved in some capacity from the beginning.

Adriana and Joanna's fiances, Frederic and Romain, got into a heated argument about their ladies on Twitter, and then they ran into one another at Alexia's magazine party. They quickly picked up in person where they left off online.

“You re-Tweet something, you need to re-Tweet?" Romain accused. "Oh, look at you, you guys must be so unhappy. Look at both of your faces.” 

Alexia seemed okay with the fight erupting at her party. As she saw it, "As long as [there are] no bottles flying all over the place or there’s no blood, or there’s no hitting, I’m OK with it. It just gives people another reason to talk about the party.”

Later, Adriana decided that she needed to be involved in the argument after all, so she accused Romain of cheating on Joanna with a Colombian girl. Rather than deny it right away, Romain told her to "shut the f*ck up!"

“Let’s talk about the Columbian girl. He’s sleeping around. He’s been f***ing a Colombian girl!” Adriana said. What she didn't expect was Joanna's response. She said, "Good, good. Good for him if he did.” 

Buddy TV's Gina Pusateri sarcastically called the whole thing "pretty classy," while The Stir's Julie Ryan Evans admitted that she loved watching Adriana go "berserk."

Joanna Krupa Claims Her Husband 'Won't Have Sex With Me'


LifeandStyle.com:
She may have once been voted sexiest swimsuit model in the world by Playboy and lusted after by millions of men, but The Real Housewives of Miami’s Joanna Krupa reveals in the new issue of Life & Style that there’s one guy who’s just not into her — her own husband!

In an exclusive interview with Life & Style, on stands now, the model opens up about her surprising intimacy issues with longtime love, Romain Zago.

“He can go forever without it. Then when we have a conversation, it turns into an argument,” she says. “He doesn’t feel anything is wrong — and I just want to be thrown down.”

Joanna admits lack of sex in their relationship has led her to worry. “Of course his lack of interest in sex had me question if he was cheating,” she tells Life & Style.


And though she did find flirty emails with another woman after snooping on Romain's computer, he insisted he never actually cheated — but Joanna knew she had to take control. The answer: Sex therapy.

“Since I met him, something was off,” she says. But after three months in treatment, she says, “I now feel that the issue of him not caring to have sex as much as I do has to come from his childhood.”

Though she knows it will take time, she tells Life & Style their romance is back on track by scheduling sex. “Sometimes it’s once a week, sometimes every other week, sometimes every three weeks,” she reveals.

“We made a commitment when we got married,” she notes. “I just want to feel the passion.”

Adriana De Moura Talks Real-Life Drama Behind Secret Marriage


NBCLatino.com:
Adriana De Moura is ready to tell all about the real-life drama behind her secret marriage to fiancĂ© Frederic Marq, whom she married earlier this summer in a made-for-TV wedding filmed for the hit show “The Real Housewives of Miami.”

“My son had a breakdown emotionally and was begging me not to get married,” De Moura told NBC Latino’s Nina Terrero of the reason she ultimately decided to call off a formal wedding with Marq. “Maybe 8 weeks into the relationship, Federic asked me to marry him. I was in that lustful stage and the sex was great, so I said yes …but when I started to feel conflicted, we started fighting and he finally pulled the plug.

We called it off but I still had the paper, the legal certificate.”

De Moura’s reluctance to get married was a recurring storyline on RHOM – but with the big reveal that she had been married to Marq since 2008, did she ever feel that she was cheating the audience of her so-called “real life”?

“I couldn’t really start telling everyone we had a paper when the point of not having the wedding party was to protect my son,” shared De Moura. “If I told everyone that I was legally married, than it would defeat the purpose of keeping it a secret.”

And now her son is happy to call Marq “dad,” says De Moura, whose son Alex is now 14 years old.

“Federic proved to be an excellent supporter of me and Alex,” shares the Brazilian ROHM castmate. “And Alex has had time to mature and accept him as a father. That’s been the most important thing to be.”

For de Moura, the chance to come clean about her five-year-long secret was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to one-up fellow Housewife Joanna Krupa. Krupa’s summer wedding to club owner Romain Zago was also filmed for the Bravo series but De Moura said her own romantic wedding was better.

“I felt my wedding was religious and emotional,” says De Moura, who admitted to being a bridezilla before walking down the aisle in front of friends, family and dozens of television cameras. “I like glamour, but I also like refinement so in that sense I think my wedding won.”

Both weddings will be shown on the third season of RHOM but de Moura revealed that the two extravagant affairs aren’t the only stand-out of what she calls the “best season ever.” There’s the aftermath of her explosive argument during last season’s reunion show with former best friend Lea Black (“we’re working on things,” De Moura reveals) and Housewives Karent Sierra is noticeably absent as well.

“I haven’t seen her much,” admits De Moura of Sierra, with whom she feuded last season. “Our paths don’t cross much.”

There’s also the added appeal of an added sparkle and sex appeal in the footage filmed for the show’s fifth season. Everything looks brighter, the shoes worn by the Housewives are even more expensive (if that’s even possible!) and sexy shots of luxurious Miami Beach abound.

“My life has progressed and I’m trying to bring the best of me as Adriana to the show – and at the same time, the show is looking richer and sexier,” says De Moura of the show’s upgraded production quality. “I’m really proud of the product we’re putting out.”

Joanna Krupa and Lea Black Talk Season 3 of Real Housewives of Miami: There's "A Lot of Lies and Betrayals"

USmagazine.com:
With friends like these, who needs enemies? One episode into the third season of The Real Housewives of Miami, Joanna Krupa, Lea Black, Adriana De Moura, Alexia Echeverria, and Lisa Hochstein are already at one another's throats. And it looks like things may get worse before they get better. Dishing about the upcoming season in a new interview with Us Weekly, Krupa and Black tease that there's plenty more drama to come on the Bravo reality series.
"I think the dynamic that's gonna change from last season to this season is [that] a lot of friendships fall apart that you thought were strong, like Lea's and Adriana's," Krupa says. "Lisa and I got into it as well. So [there are] a lot of changes in friendships. A lot of lies and betrayals."

Black, who's on the outs with De Moura, says she'd rather not involve herself in the drama -- but she'll defend herself to the death once she's dragged into it. "What I will tell you is that anytime those girls lie about something about me, I'm gonna come back at them with the truth," she tells Us.

"So they just keep bringing their lies, and I'm just gonna keep telling the truth. Because by telling the truth, I'm exposing things about you you don't want exposed," she explains. "I'm not bringing it up, but if you bring it up, don't expect me not to tell the truth about it, and if you get exposed in the process, that's not my problem, because you started it with me."
"I live my life, like, you know what, I'm going to be as nice to you as you will let me be," she continues. "I'll be as good of a friend to you as you will let me be. But if you're two-faced or backstabbing or lying about me, I'm gonna put it all there."

Lea Black Talks Season 3 of 'Real Housewives of Miami'


MiamiHerald.com:
Lea Black went all L.A. on us this summer. The businesswoman/philanthropist, husband Roy Black and their son R.J., 12, packed up for the family’s West Coast abode. One issue has been the weather. “To me, it’s cold right now — can you imagine?” said Black, who came back to town Tuesday to ring in season 3 of The Real Housewives of Miami at Lou La Vie in downtown Miami.

We talked about all she has going on — from the Bravo series (returning 9 p.m. Monday) to her new line of accessories and skincare products.

You’ve been in La-La land. Seen any celebrities?
It’s kind of like, ‘Oh, there goes another one!’ Just the other night we ran into Larry David at Spago. I wouldn’t have even noticed, but we were with my husband’s friend, who said that he was one of his favorites. I also saw Al Pacino and Goldie Hawn, but I know her. I even get recognized. People come up and want their picture taken with me. I’m sure it’s the standard line they tell all the girls, ‘Oh, you’re my favorite!’

The cast is down to only five Housewives. How’s that going?
Everyone had to know they weren’t going to keep that many people on forever. Some may be seen hanging out or making appearances. I think they reduced it because the audience wants to get to know us a little better. I think those remaining were the ones [fans] were most interested in, but I can’t say for sure. Bravo is giving us a great time slot and putting a lot of muscle behind it.

Your plot line won’t revolve around your gala as much, correct?
For the first two years I didn’t showcase any of my product lines because I didn’t want to be that Housewife. But I’ve had my skin line for 20 or so years, plus now my pocketbooks and accessories (www.worldofleablack.com). This is my work and it sort of organically happened — I can’t take time off and go and film. They have to capture my life. 

Are you at least having some fun doing the show? How much drama can we expect?
It’s all work — don’t let anyone tell you anything different. And yes, there’s constant drama. [Fellow Housewives] work really hard to drag you down into it, whether you want it or not. Instead of just sitting down to resolve it, they’ll kick and scream and fight. Some of these girls are just feisty. I think they have a lot of conflict in their lives. That’s what they do, that’s how they deal. I don’t necessarily like to stress, but if that is how they handle situations and you’re in that environment with them, you just have to react. There’s no other way around it!

Adriana De Moura Posing Nude In A Tub for PETA, Supports Teresa Giudice


EOnline.com:
Adriana De Moura is stripping down for a good cause. 

E! News has exclusively learned that the Real Housewives of Miami star will pose nude for PETA, appearing entirely naked in a bathtub for a provocative new ad which aims to bring awareness to the controversial practice of keeping marine mammals in captivity for entertainment purposes.

De Moura's ad will ask, "Could you live in a tub for 40 years?" and will highlight the life of Lolita, a lone orca who has been imprisoned in a small tank at the Miami Seaquarium after being captured in 1970.

The campaign is particularly close to the Bravo star's heart, as the brunette beauty hails from Brazil, one of the few countries that has completely banned the contentious practice, and De Moura hopes the United States will follow her native country's lead.

She also posed for her eye-catching PETA ad in order to encourage Miami Seaquarium to release Lolita from confinement into a coastal sanctuary.

E! News will have an exclusive behind the scenes look at Adriana's nude PETA campaign shoot next week.

In addition to her work with the animal rights organization, De Moura is prepping for the season-three premiere of Real Housewives of Miami, which will air on Bravo Aug. 12, at 9 p.m.

If you've taken a peek at our exclusive promos, then you know this season revolves heavily around Adriana and Joanna Krupa both planning their dream weddings...while trying to out-fabulous each other (natch).

And in an exclusive chat with E! News, Adriana revealed there was even a causality in the wedding war.

"There was drama because we had one bridesmaid in common, Lisa Hochstein," she told E! News. "And I was like, 'Don't you go playing double agent!' At one point, because she was in my wedding, Joanna kicked her out of hers."

While De Moura says she and Joana have since buried the hatchet, the Brazilian beauty didn't have any problem sounding off on who had the better I-Do's.

"Personally, I think I won," she confessed. 

Can't wait to see all the drama go down!

Real Housewives of Miami Preview: Adriana de Moura Reveals Serious Wedding Drama With Joanna Krupa


EOnline.com:
By now you’ve seen our exclusive promos for the new season of the Real Housewives of Miami, so you know it revolves heavily around both Adriana de Moura and Joanna Krupa planning their dream weddings and trying to out-fabulous each other. But even those promos couldn't possibly reveal the drama that went down while the girls were racing down the aisle.

In our exclusive interview with Adriana, she reveals that there was actually a causality of the wedding war.
"There was drama because we had one bridesmaid in common, Lisa Hochstein," she tells us. "And I was like, 'Don’t you go playing double agent!' At one point, because she was in my wedding, Joanna kicked her out of hers."

Didn't any of them see the classic (classic used loosely, of course) Katherine Heigl movie 27 Dresses? Lisa totally could've been in both weddings at the same time if she put her mind to it. But that's neither here nor there, because Adriana insists that Joanna and Lisa "worked it out."

Despite the wedding battle between to two Housewives, Adriana tells us that hatchet has been buried…and not in each other's backs.

"We started the season not on a perfect note, to say the least. But I realized I didn't really have a problem with her per se. It was more like I had been fighting with other people and she intervened," she says. "So we had a meeting where we decided to try to move on. I was planning a wedding, she was planning a wedding and there's enough stress that goes with that. You know, I don't really hold on to grudges. I can be really short-tempered, but once I blow, I calm down. And if I'm wrong, I apologize. I don't want to live my life with hatred."

And honest answer time: Who had the more fabulous wedding?

"Personally, I think I won," Adriana replies.

Fans will be able to make that decision for themselves when the new season of Real Housewives of Miami premieres Aug. 12 at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
