Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley just announced that they're expecting their first child together, which means that they're officially holiday decorating for three!

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.

"Yes, finally we have news that we are pregnant!" Gretchen revealed on The Doctors during an interview in her home, where we got glimpses of the stairwell wrapped in pre-lit garland, the mantle swathed in glittering gold garland, and a burning birch candle in the background.

Even though Gretchen might be pretty tired after her difficult IVF journey, she still loves to decorate her own home for the holidays, which she explained via social media hashtags. 

"Finally got around to taking some pictures of our home decorated for the #Holidays #lovedecorating #decor #Christmas #Idecoratemyownhome," she wrote in an Instagram post.

She shared an additional peek in a second Instagram post, writing, "My kitchen counter decor! This candle actually crackles while it burns. My Mom bought it for me from @macys #lovedecorating #decor #festive #Christmas."


An actual crackling candle? That's next-level holiday decorating right there, mama. We're also loving the creativy of filling tall pillar vases with ornaments. Gretchen gets bonus points for that this year!
