On January 29, after it was announced The Real Housewives of Orange County alum is returning to the franchise as a friend for Season 19, Gretchen shared more big news: she chopped a significant amount of hair off.

"Short hair don't care," she wrote over a snapshot of herself sitting in the car, presumably post-chop. The California mom went on to thank stylist Victor Paul for the "color [and] cut," revealing how she kept her sunny bright color but took off what looked like several inches.

Gretchen Rossi's health update 

Gretchen recently shared new details about her health journey in a January 7 Instagram post. 

"One thing you can control is what you are putting in and out of your body!" Gretchen shared in the caption of the video of herself posing in a bathing suit and sarong on a serene beach. "Last year was a health journey for me, I had to really dig deep to find out what was going on with my body."

Gretchen continued in the caption of the post: "I was inflamed, in pain, and did every test there was out there to figure out what was going on, to only run into no answers. So I started to research and become my own health advocate. I changed a lot of things in my daily life to help get my health back. It was a lot of little things that really made a difference and so am going to start sharing little by little all the things I did." 

The West Coast mom concluded: "I will continue to share tips and tricks I learned throughout the year, as well as new things I am learning daily to help you all on your health journey as well. Here’s to a Happy & Healthy 2025!" 

Gretchen Rossi's family update

In addition to her hair and health, Gretchen also recently updated her followers on her life with Slade Smiley and their daughter, Skylar. 

"Goodbye 2024! Thank you for all the lessons!" she captioned an edited Instagram video that showed several touching moments from her life in 2024. "So many amazing memories made with my little family, but also many hard days along the way. Remember social media is everyone’s highlight reel[,] So that doesn’t mean there isn’t bad with the good, but we get to choose how to move through the struggles. I’m so grateful for my faith and the ability to lean on him during the rough patches. Thank you to my incredible family and my wonderful friends for always helping make life feel so magical!"
