Tamra Judge Shares an Update on Where She Stands with Her Daughter Sidney Today (UPDATED)
During an exclusive chat with BravoTV.com, Tamra also revealed what her son Spencer and daughter Sophia are up to.
UPDATE (June 22, 9:14 A.M.): Sidney may not have made an appearance on RHOC Season 17, Episode 3 on June 21, but one of Tamra's other kids did: Ryan Vieth. Now a rancher, Ryan attended Tamra and Eddie Judge's final CUT Fitness party, where his mom shared an update on what he's been up to these past few years, as well as his daughter, Ava, in a confessional interview.
The original story continues below.
As she says in her tagline for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 17, Tamra Judge “might have been on pause, but now [she’s] ready to play.”
The mom of four returned to the cast after taking Seasons 15 and 16 off (though she did appear on Season 2 of Peacock’s The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in the interim), and fans are now getting to see what’s been going on in her life in recent years.
During an appearance on the June 7 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, which aired the same night Season 17 premiered, Tamra offered an update on the latest in her relationship with her eldest daughter, Sidney Barney. While chatting with BravoTV.com in a separate interview, Tamra also shared how her other three kids are doing now.
Who Are Tamra Judge's Children?
The orange holder shares two daughters, Sidney and Sophia, and a son, Spencer, with her ex-husband Simon Barney, and she also has a son, Ryan Vieth, from her other previous marriage.
Where Tamra and Sidney Barney Stand Today
Tamra revealed on WWHL that her relationship with her oldest daughter is in a “good” place now.
“I actually saw her at Sophia’s [high school] graduation, and things were nice,” Tamra said on the talk series about her relationship with Sidney, which had previously been strained.
Sidney and Tamra aren’t the only two who are back on better terms in the family. In 2020, after Simon was diagnosed with Stage 3 throat cancer, Tamra responded to a fan who asked if her ex-husband’s health battle had brought the family members closer together.
“We have all reunited,” Tamra wrote, confirming that the exes, who had a rocky split in 2011, were on much friendlier terms.
During an exclusive chat with BravoTV.com, Tamra revealed what her other two children with Simon are doing now.
What Tamra’s Daughter Sophia Barney Is Up To
As Tamra mentioned on WWHL, she reunited with her daughter Sidney at Sophia’s high school graduation in early June. She opened up more about Sophia’s milestone moment to BravoTV.com.
“Sophia just graduated high school last week. [I’m] super excited about that,” Tamra said. “My last baby has graduated, so it’s kind of sad, but it’s exciting.”
Tamra is thrilled for her daughter, and she’s also happy for herself and her husband, Eddie Judge.
“I feel like I’ve graduated because now it’s like I look at [Eddie], I’m like woo-hoo, we’re done,” she said with a laugh. “We’re done, right? We can move, we can do whatever we want.”
Though Sophia has just finished a major chapter in her life, Tamra and Eddie aren’t exactly empty nesters yet.
“She’s not going anywhere anytime soon,” the California resident added. “She’s going to go to a school locally, so we’re happy for that. But she’s doing amazing.”
What Tamra’s Son Spencer Barney Is Doing Now
Simon and Tamra’s son is also getting ready to mark a major milestone in his life: his college graduation.
“Spencer is in college getting his psych degree, and he is doing amazing,” Tamra told BravoTV.com. “[He’s] been working really hard. He lives about an hour away from us, but we talk every single day. And he’s excited to graduate.”
Tamra’s three youngest children were just kids when viewers first met them on RHOC — and now they’re officially all grown up! See more from Tamra and the rest of the cast by tuning in to RHOC on Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
