RHOC: Vicki Gunvalson’s Son Michael Not Seen Sister Briana for 8 Years 

And though Michael has pursued a life of adventure, he also clarified that’s not the reason he hasn’t reconnected with Briana. When the travel lover reshared the Bravo scene on social media, he elaborated on what he felt led to the sibling estrangement.

“I’ve never been invited out there, and she doesn’t visit CA. I was living in Hawaii and now Spain,” Michael wrote on Instagram. “A couple years ago I said I wanted to visit when I was fairly close to Oklahoma, and she said it wasn’t a good time because of her husband who I don’t get along with very well.”

“I was ready to book a flight a couple years ago,” Michael continued in a second comment. “They can come visit CA too when I’m there. I was staying at my mom’s + her desert house for 3 months this year.”

As for Vicki’s take on the distance between her kids? 

“It absolutely sucks that my kids live far away. Mike’s in Spain, Briana lives in Oklahoma,” Vicki explained in her Real Housewives confessional. “They talk all the time, they FaceTime, but it’s definitely better to be in person.”
