Lauri Peterson is currently married to George Peterson, a real estate and land developer.

When it comes to her romantic relationships, Lauri hasn’t always had the best luck. She was a single mother who had recently divorced when her experience on RHOC began. In 2006, Lauri and her ex-husband Phillip Waring split. She was said to have been left “destitute” as a result of the divorce. When she married her third (and current) husband, George Peterson, during her stint on the show, she got the wedding of her dreams. She then became the stepmother of Bria Peterson, McKenzie Peterson, Slayte Peterson and Danyka Peterson, George’s children from his past relationship.

In her wealthy South Orange County life, Lauri enjoys extravagant dinners, sunset horseback riding, and massage dates with her successful Orange County real estate developer husband. Lauri never fails to show it off. During a private shopping party with the housewives, she takes out her black American Express card, proudly proclaiming it’s a gift from George

Lauri has got her kids of her own. Her children, namely Ashley, Josh and Sophie are all grown up now.  Ashley is her firstborn and her daughter with ex-husband Howard Zarlin while Josh and Sophie is her children with Phillip Waring.

Josh, Lauri’s son, was arrested in 2016 on suspicion of stealing a car and shooting someone. He was sentenced to life in jail but accepted a plea bargain and was sentenced to several years in prison. While in prison he was viciously attacked by a fellow inmate. In 2020, he was released.

In 2012, Lauri became a grandma when her son, Josh, and his wife produced a girl called Kennady. Lauri and her husband decided to adopt Kennady and nurture her as their own because Josh and his wife were both suffering with personal troubles. Kennady has already turned nine years old and appears to be doing well.

Lauri probably never imagined she’d be running about to children’s events at the age of 60, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. Lauri is a true member of the dancing mom’s club because Kennady participates in competitive dance. Kennady’s dancing is particularly well-liked by Lauri, who attends all of her performances.

Lauri is a dog mother in addition to being a mother and grandmother. She is a true dog lover and has two lovely dogs named Zeus and Moose. Zeus and Moose have their own Instagram account in addition to making regular appearances on Lauri’s. (3)

A post shared by Lauri Peterson (@lauri_peterson)

Though The Real Housewives of Orange County was Lauri’s first television show, it wasn’t her first experience in front of the camera. She was a model in her younger years, though it’s unclear if this was something she actually performed professionally.

Despite the fact that her reality television career was short-lived, it was a life-changing event for her. Being on the show “opened so many doors and chances,” she told The Orange County Register. I used to be an extremely shy person who detested public speaking. It’s given me the courage I need to speak up in public.

A number of things are still on Lauri’s list of goals, one of which is to write a book. “I’m working on a book,” she stated in an interview with The Orange County Register. It’s incredibly exciting for me. It’s something I’ve had in my head for 10 years. My reality is far more complicated than the show depicted. My audience will be astonished since I have a lot to say.” However, the book does not appear to have ever been released. (4)

Real Housewives of Orange County Storyline for Lauri Waring Peterson

Lauri was a full-time cast member on RHOC for the first four seasons and made appearances on seasons 5 and 8. Lauri Peterson was one of the original housewives who debuted on the show on its pilot that aired on March 21, 2006. Lauri Peterson left the series during the third episode “Love Tanks” that aired on December 9, 2008.

Originally, Lauri was a cast member on the “Real Housewives of Orange County” show, which was the first in the “Real Housewives” reality series. She was in the midst of finalizing her divorce from Phillip when the first season of the series began.

Lauri and her children were forced to downgrade to a much smaller home, and she was compelled to work at an insurance business run by Vicki Gunvalson, her “RHOC” co-star.

She had fallen in love with a wealthy land developer named George Peterson by the second season of the show.

George and Lauri married in September 2007. It was the first large reality wedding ceremony to be videotaped and televised, believe it or not. A mainstay of the genre as of right now are reality marriages and the couple spearheaded it.

Since Season 1 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, viewers have watched Lauri Peterson’s journey from a struggling single mom to a Cinderella bride at her fairytale wedding to a fairytale life style with her Prince Charming and third husband, George Peterson.

Peterson was first reaping the rewards of her newlywed husband when Lauri’s fairytale is put in peril after isolating herself from the group when familial difficulties with her son Josh develop, and Peterson effectively leaves. Following the third episode, “Love Tanks,” which aired on December 9, 2008, Lauri Peterson left the show. Peterson’s reason for exiting the series were to focus on her family due to her son’s difficulties with drugs. Tammy Knickerbocker and Peterson’s place were filled with two new housewives. (5)
