Lisa Barlow's Sister Denise Proves She's Her Lookalike in RHOSLC Debut
RHOSLC's Lisa Barlow has a "super soft spot" for her younger sister, Denise.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City fans met Lisa Barlow's sister Denise on Season 5, Episode 7 (which aired on October 30).
The siblings went out to lunch together because Denise was visiting Salt Lake City from Austin. "Denise is my younger sister. I'm number three of six, and she's number four of six, " Lisa said in an interview on the episode about her close-knit bond with her next youngest sibling. "I love all of my sisters, I just have a super soft spot for Denise. She was my only sibling in Utah, so we were so involved in each other's lives."
From there, Lisa went on to open up about how her son Henry has been less social since her other son Jack went on his mission to Colombia.
"I feel like Mom tried to make our childhood magical, even though it was hard because she had six very different kids," Lisa said while getting emotional about how she's trying to emulate her mom's parenting. "And, so I try to be like that with Henry."
"You are an amazing mom," Denise replied.
"I'm, like, such a baby," Lisa said as she continued to get emotional about Henry's adjustment to life without Jack at home.
The sweet sisterly moment was coupled with the reveal of childhood photos of Lisa and Denise.

Lisa Barlow's sister, Genia Hall, once dated her husband, John Barlow
As Lisa mentioned in her interview, she is one of six children (she has four sisters and one brother). In 2021, Lisa posted a photo on X of her oldest sister, Genia Hall, coming to Salt Lake City for a visit.
"My sister came to visit and we...Love that," she shared in her post from November 2021. Like Lisa, Genia is also a business owner, as she founded the luxury clothing company, She Is Like Eve.
Lisa also met her husband, John Barlow, through her sisters, and he actually briefly dated Genia.
"John didn’t date my sister," Lisa said on X back in January 2022 after she discussed John's connection to Genia on RHOSLC Season 2. "They went on one date."
Though it got a little awkward when John and Lisa first got engaged, things eventually turned around for the two. "Everyone in my family loves John," Lisa wrote in a follow up X message. "My gorgeous sister had amazing taste and I’m so glad I got to meet John through her."
John and Lisa previously discussed his connection to Genia in a throwback video for BravoTV.com (which you can check out above).
"I only kissed one [sister]," John joked about how he got to know Lisa through her sisters. "She kissed me."
"She's gonna be so mad at us for talking about this," Lisa joked.
