Vanessa and Kobe have been together sicne Nov. 1999, when she was 17-years-old and he was 21-years-old. After six months of dating, the couple became engaged, and on April 18, 2001, they were married. Vanessa and Kobe have two daughters, Natalia Diamante Bryant, born on Jan. 19, 2003, and Gianna Maria-Onore Bryant, born on May 1, 2006. In Dec. 2011, Vanessa filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. In Jan. 2013, the divorce was called off.

As for the rest of the Real Housewives of Orange County season 10 cast, Rumorfix claimed the entire season nine cast, including Tamra Barney, Heather Dubrow, Vicki Gunvalson, Shannon Beador and Lizzie Rovsek would return.

Since July, rumors have alleged Barney had been fired after season nine as a result of her diva behavior -- including a Facebook rant, during which she called out Bravo for manipulating story lines. She, however, insists there is no truth to the reports.

"I'm not going anywhere," she recently told fans on Twitter.
