Vicki Gunvalson Flaunts 'Date Night' With Beau Steve Amid 'RHOC' Drama

Vicki Gunvalson shared her "date night" with boyfriend Steve Lodge on Saturday, March 2, 2019—after RadarOnline.com told you she plans an engagement and wedding to save her job on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

The "woo hoo"-ing star posted a photo on Instagram of herself cuddling with Lodge in a restaurant booth; both were elegantly dressed.

It was apparently a dinner out after TV work as Vicki, 56, wrote as a caption, "Date night with my man @stevelodge_oc after filming. #rhoc #bravo #season14."

Loyal fans weighed in, with one telling Vicki, "You were born to stand out...stand your ground ❤."

Another wrote, "Love love love you two!"

As RadarOnline.com has extensively reported, in early February 2019, Vicki missed the first two weeks of filming RHOC amid her contract negotiations.

Vicki's co-star Kelly Dodd gloated about her rival's possible demotion to "friend" status on the Bravo reality show.

But after returning from a Bahamas getaway with boyfriend Steve, Vicki shared a social media video to let fans know that she will appear on the upcoming RHOC season.

RadarOnline.com sources said Vicki is planning an elaborate on-camera engagement to Lodge and then a wedding on the new season to secure her position.

With Vicki's on-camera time still undetermined, RadarOnline.com also learned that she's recently been a "nightmare" on the set, a source claimed.

"Vicki has been a total pain in the a** during the first few filming sessions that she has been back on set," the insider close to the production said.
