No Bad Blood! The Reason Why Tamra Judge Finally Made Up With Ex Simon

Tamra Judge has finally buried the hatchet with estranged ex-husband Simon Barney and RadarOnline.com exclusively learned she did it "for the sake of her family!"

As fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County star know, Tamra, 51, has been at odds with Simon since their nasty split in 2011.

However, this past weekend the two made huge strides when Tamra and Simon posed together in a photo for daughter Sophia's 8th grade dance! In the caption, Tamra wrote, "8th grade dance…last post was not ‘Sophia’ approved.”

"Tamra and Simon agreed to meet in the middle because Tamra does not want her relationship with her younger children destroyed like it was with Sidney," the source told Radar, referring to Tamra's oldest daughter whom she's estranged from since the teen moved out of the reality star's house in 2014 to live with her father.

In 2017, Tamra made the situation even worse when she used the private family matter as part of her storyline on RHOC.

According to the source, "Sidney and Tamra have made slight progress, but there is still a lot of bad blood there," the insider said.

"She wants to remain cordial with Simon and she is hoping the two of them can work together on co-parenting."

"Tamra and Simon are on speaking terms and she is sucking it up for the sake of her family. She does not want anymore drama in her life and she doesn't want to be seen as a monster mom ever again," the insider added.
