Get to know the spouse of The Real Housewives of New York City's new friend Rebecca Minkoff a little better.
The Real Housewives of New York City Season 15 will introduce viewers to fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff, who makes her Bravo debut in the new season as a friend to the RHONY Housewives. Rebecca is already a household name as a fashion designer, but she lives in an artistic household as her husband Gavin Bellour is a creative individual, who has directed, produced, and acted in a number of projects in his lifetime.
Here's your chance to get to know Rebecca's family a little better, including her husband Gavin and their four children.
Who is Gavin Bellour?
Rebecca's husband Gavin Bellour is a "director, creative, [and] dad," according to his Instagram bio. But his credits are a bit more extensive than that.
What does Gavin Bellour do for a living?
Gavin is a Hollywood insider working as a director and actor. According to his website bio, Gavin's "signature blend of premium visuals and human whimsy has been deployed by Netflix, Vogue, Under Armour, Viceland, and Progressive Insurance, among others. With over fifteen years of work in the field, Gavin has led projects of all shapes and sizes for broadcast, streaming, and social platforms."
Per his bio at his creative content agency, Chromista TV, Gavin is "an honors graduate of the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television, Bellour honored a hands-on style of film craft by working on commercials, film sets, live broadcasts, and post-production, and by acting in commercial campaigns, indie films, and television shows."
In an interview with Little Black Book, Gavin revealed that humor drives him to the projects that he works on. "I'm just kind of fascinated with what makes us laugh and why," he explained. "More generally, it's just creating those moments of connection between people and the audience. Humor is an amazing tool for that — it might be a straight comic bit or just one of those 'aha' moments of recognition where we see a version of ourselves or someone we know on screen. I get passionate about that stuff, and it's the most fun thing to create."
Gavin Bellour actor
Gavin, according to IMDB, has acted in a number of shows, including TV shows Gilmore Girls (in an uncredited role), Army Wives, and Royal Pains, as well as movies like A Buddy Story, The Hammer, and Café.

Gavin Bellour and Rebecca Minkoff's Weddings
The pair tied the knot in a 2009 ceremony in Tuscany, Italy. The fashionista wore strapless white dress (notably not a wedding dress, according to the fashion publication) by Dolce and Gabbana to tie the knot in front of friends and family members.
The couple had their second wedding ceremony at New York City Hall in June 2009, where they got their certificate of marriage and said "I do" in front of some of Gavin's family members, according to New York Magazine. Rebecca wore a short white dress, purchased on a business trip to Paris, layered on top of a pair of black tights and underneath a black cardigan.
Who are Rebecca Minkoff and Gavin Bellour's children?
Rebecca and Gavin are the parents to four children: soon-to-be 13-year-old son Luca, 10-year-old daughter Bowie, 6-year-old son Nico, and 1-year-old son Leonardo.
The couple welcomed their first child Luca Shai Bellour into the world in September 2011. Bowie Lou Bellour was born in August 2014 and Nico Valentine Bellour followed in February 2018. Rebecca most recently gave birth to Leonardo Scout Bellour in January 2023, according to People, which she told the publication was "definitely her last pregnancy."
In a 2018 interview with The Bump, Rebecca opened up about her approach to motherhood. "I've always made a conscious effort to not be an over protective, hovering, helicopter parent," she explained. "I try not to sweat some of the small stuff. Sometimes, we try to control our kids too much. And yes, it's good for them to have good habits, but I've also learned that as they get older, you can still teach them good habits."
Is Rebecca Minkoff related to Crystal Kung Minkoff?
While it was previously reported that Rebecca has no familial ties to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Crystal Kung Minkoff or her husband Rob Minkoff, in September 2024, Rebecca revealed exclusively to The Daily Dish that she's actually distantly related to Rob.
"I know someone reported that we are not related, but I am related through [Crystal's] husband, Rob Minkoff, the director," Rebecca explained after sharing that she's been in touch with RHOBH alum. "I did 23andMe and they told me. That’s about as far as I got. So, she reached out."
Who is Rebecca Minkoff?
In addition to being a mom, wife, and fashion designer, Rebecca, according to her RHONY cast bio, "is a best-selling author and powerhouse entrepreneur who has paved the way for many and is the co-founder of the Female Founder Collective. Rebecca is dedicated to creating the modern cultural and business narrative of togetherness and a shared success. She continues to push boundaries, lead the fashion industry, and galvanize communities of women by promoting confidence, fearlessness, and authenticity."
