Who is in the cast of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City?
BRAVO’s Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 2 aires on Sundays at 9pm EST.
The cast features Lisa Barlow, Jen Shah, Heather Gay, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, and Mary Cosby.
“The Mormon church is undeniably ingrained in the culture of Salt Lake City, but these women represent a spectrum of religious beliefs ranging from Mormon, Islamic, Jewish and Pentecostal,” reads the official show description.
“Here perfection is not an aspiration, it’s a mandate.
“With a deep-rooted history, these women share a special bond, but when circles are this tight it’s only a matter of time before beliefs and personalities collide.
“Whether hitting the slopes, attending parties at Sundance or hosting the city’s elite, these housewives hold themselves and each other to an extremely high standard and never hold back when things go sideways, but lord knows they are always there for each other when they need it most.”
When people think of the Real Housewives they think of glamor, cat-fights and back-stabbing – so Mormon millionaires may not seem like the obvious candidates for the show.
However, Andy Cohen told ET that the cast is perfect for the show.
“Expect mountains, expect snow, and expect, you know, some Mormons,” Cohen told ET in February 2020.
“What would a Mormon Housewife look like? Stay tuned… a production company brought us unbelievable women, and the cool thing about Salt Lake City is, they’re leading these aspirational lives.
“When you look at the footage, it is a fantasy life. For me, just the snow and the scenery and the lifestyle, it’s really cool,” he said.
Lisa Barlow is originally from New York and currently lives in Utah with her husband and business partner, John Barlow.
They run a tequila distillery, a restaurant and are “active Mormons.”
The couple has two sons, piano and basketball player Jack, and Henry.
Also on the show is Heather Gay – who co-owns a cosmetic medical practice, she also co-hosts the Live Love Lab podcast.
