Why Gina & Emily Are “Twinning” After RHOC Season 18: “Scary Stuff” (EXCLUSIVE)

RHOC's Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson upped the friendship ante and got into the Halloween 2024 spirit in matching costumes.

By Casey Suglia

BFFs Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson have taken their friendship to the next level and got really into Halloween this year, together. The Real Housewives of Orange County cast members did not hold back when it came time to dress up for spooky season 2024, and they are very proud of their hard work.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

Both Gina and Emily took to their Instagram feeds on Oct. 31, where they posted the most hilarious video, dressed up as the twins from The Shining. In the video, Emily and Gina can be seen wearing matching frilly blue dresses with pink sashes and knee-high socks, walking around a hotel hallway. Gina really got into being Emily's twin, sporting a chocolate brown, shoulder-length wig on top of her blonde hair.

The close friends really embodied their characters by jumping on the bed in their hotel, creeping around the hallway, dragging one another around the hotel, and emerging from the elevator in a super spooky fashion. "Happy Halloween friends!" they wrote in the caption of the post.

"Parents...have fun, stay safe, and make sure you test all of the candy for poison," they added, alongside a winking face and ghost emoji. They then signed off the post by combining both of their names into "gemily."

Gina then took to the comments of the post, where she shared her hilarious commentary on her genius Halloween costume. "You're welcome," she wrote. "Dead," she added. "Well I'm glad we broke our boring streak."

But fellow RHOC cast member, Shannon Storms Beador, was just a little confused by their costume. "Omg!!! Who are you???" she asked.

Gina Kirschenheiter teased she and Emily Simpson would be "twinning" on Halloween

In an interview with The Daily Dish on October 30, Gina teased at what was to come from her and her BFF. "Me and Emily actually have a couple of costume situations that we're gonna explore here in New York that we will be posting on our social media," she explained. "You can be looking forward to that."

"We will definitely be twinning," she confirmed. "And we're in a hotel, and I'm really into the scary stuff."

Where does Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson stand today?

As if their Halloween costumes weren't enough proof, Gina and Emily are very close. Although the friends did get into an argument during a heated game of pickleball in RHOC Season 18, Episode 7, Gina confirmed that everything is good between them during an August interview with BravoTV.com.

"Sometimes you get a little jealous or a little bit, like, insecure. Friends are going to fight!" she explained in the video above. "But real friends, you fight, it brings you closer."

"I think Gina and I are so close; I equate Gina with a sister, not just a friend," Emily explained to BravoTV.com. "There's never any long-term toxicity in our friendship. We're so important to one another that we both have the mentality that we always want to move forward and we always want to make it right."
