The former *Real Housewives of Orange County* star is the one who set Vicki Gunvalson up with her current boyfriend Michael. *“That was a blessing,”* the OG of the OC told [Page Six](https://pagesix.com/2022/07/18/vicki-gunvalson-kelly-dodd-introduced-me-to-boyfriend-michael/) at Jill Zarin’s luxury luncheon in Southampton.* “Kelly Dodd introduced us.”* Vicki admits her breakup with Steve Lodge in September 2021 left her *“heartbroken.”* She adds that the split was especially hard because she's so* “committed”* when in romantic relationships. *“And then four months later, Kelly asked me what I was doing for dinner, [and I] meet her and Rick [Leventhal] in Newport, and I did,”* she continued. *“This incredible man was sitting next to me, and he’s like, ‘You never called me back seven years ago.’ I gave him my number, and I’m like, ‘I don’t remember you,’ and he’s like, ‘Yeah, we talked, and we went to Fleming’s.'”* Luckily, Michael forgave Vicki for ghosting him. Since then the two have been *“inseparable.”* *“He’s, like, my man, so with every bad thing that happens out there … there’s always something that will follow. I really believe that I manifested him.”* Vicki explains that before meeting Michael she made a list of 18 things she wanted her future partner to have. Michael checked all the boxes except for one - he doesn't own a boat. She adds that she's hopeful about her future with Michael, adding that she's *“not a dater.”* And it turns out Vicki's family LOVES Michael, which is a relief considering the issues they have had with some of her past boyfriends. *“My grandsons Troy and Owen called him ‘the big guy’ and asked him to go to their baseball games, to the movies, and even to play cards with them last night,”* she explained. *“My heart is full, and it couldn’t have gone any better.”* RHOC is set to return for season 17 in late 2022 or early 2023. ## Thoughts on this all?
