‘The Real Housewives of New York City” is getting two new faces for the show’s weekly, high-powered coffee klatches.
Bravo confirmed that faux-socialites Sonja Morgan and Jennifer Gilbert will be recurring “characters” on the reality series’ third season, which is currently in production and set to air sometime next year.
Morgan, a former restaurant hostess, is the ex-wife of JP Morgan’s great-grandson and a personal friend of original housewife Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, who brought her into the series. She’s also the single mother of a 9-year-old daughter and “loves art, decorating, gardening, skiing and visiting France every chance she gets.”
Meanwhile, business-minded Gilbert owns the event planning company Save the Date and co-owns PortaMEe, a baby carrier company. She’s been married for seven years and has three children. In her spare time, she throws dinner parties, sticking to her personal motto: “Why cook when you can cater?” —
