Real Housewives of Orange County alumna Noella Bergener happily announced her engagement to Bobby Shubenski on Friday.
Last summer, 38-year-old Noella raised eyebrows when she revealed that she and Bobby had split and that she had returned to ‘sugar baby’ dating site Seeking, where she met her ex-husband James Bergener.
However, she and Bobby eventually mended fences, and this week on Friday the 13th, they revealed that they’ve decided to take their romance to the next level.
Both halves of the couple ecstatically posted a picture of Bobby hugging Noella from behind as she flashed his sparkling ring.
“My heart is full and my arm is heavy,” the reality star wrote on her Instagram page, which is currently private.

Noella first met James Bergener on Seeking when it was still known as Seeking Arrangement and was notorious as a place for women to meet “sugar daddies”.
She was with ‘Sweet James’, a personal injury attorney, when she began appearing as a guest star on The Real Housewives Of Orange County 2019.
They got married in 2020 and are now parents to a three-year-old son, James Jr., and Noelle also has an eight-year-old daughter, Coco.
In 2021, Noella graduated to full-time housewife status and immediately attracted attention by gossiping on air about her and James’ sex dungeon.
That same season, however, the marriage collapsed, with viewers seeing Noella break down in tears after being served with divorce papers.
The split sparked a long and vicious legal battle that played out on reality TV, eventually ending in December 2021.
In April 2022, at the Real Housewives of Orange County season 16 reunion, Noella officially announced that she was dating Brad.
During that same gathering, she admitted that she met James at “Seeking Arrangement”, prompting accusations that she was a “gold digger”.
Comeback: Noella was featured on The Real Housewives of Orange County, appearing in various capacities from 2019 to 2022.

But that June, after leaving the show, she revealed she was single again while announcing a brand partnership with Seeking.
“I’m not the type of girl to just go to a bar or have an orthodontist do my braces,” she told DailyMail.com in an interview.
“It’s uncomfortable when you’re not in control of the situation.” “With Search, I find that I am able to really empower myself to decide who I want,” she said.
“I got to the point where I didn’t want to go to a bar and meet someone.” I wanted something where there was a chance for a future – at least a relationship.’
