RHOBH star Garcelle Beauvais' life explored
Showbiz magnate and RHOBH star Garcelle Beauvais' net worth is in the millions, but it is unclear exactly how much. Finty estimates her to have a net worth of $8 million, while Celebrity Net Worth notes it as $4 million.
She hails from Haiti. Her parents unfortunately split when she was just three years old. At the age of 7, Garcelle and her six older siblings moved to the USA with their mother. Shifting their whole lives came as a cultural shock to Garcelle. She only knew how to communicate in Creole and French before moving. However, an unlikely teacher, the TV show Sesame Street is what helped her pick up the English language.
Garcelle Beauvais' career as a model kicked off when she was 17. For a decade, modeling remained her primary focus. These gigs allowed her to tour the globe. Her modeling career posed as a smooth segue into the world of acting, with her first role on Models, Inc.
In 2014, Garcelle secured a spot on the prestigious 50 Most Beautiful list by People Magazine. Her claim to fame came from her iconic parts on The Jamie Foxx Show and NYPD Blue. Garcelle Beauvais' filmography also includes major blockbusters like Coming to America in 1988, White House Down in 2013, Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017, and the Coming to America sequel in 2021, among many others.
From 2020 to 2022, she co-hosted the chat show The Real. She debuted on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2020 and has been a regular on the show. She also started her own venture with a production company named Garcelle Beauvais Production and booked a "first-look development deal with NBC Universal."
Apart from her entertainment industry career, she started an accessory brand for children called Petit Bijou in 2008. Garcelle is also a published author. She wrote three children's books and one memoir. In 2022, she also stepped foot in the interior design world with her venture inspired by her Haitian culture, called Garcelle at Home.
Garcelle Beauvais has been married twice. She was initially married to Daniel Saunders, a popular producer, with whom she had her first son, Oliver. The couple filed for divorce after. She then married talent agent Mike Nilon in 2001. They gave birth to twins Jax and Jaid. She split with Mike in 2010 after she discovered he was being unfaithful. Both Garcelle and Mike share custody of the twins.
In the premiere episode of RHOBH season 13, Garcelle took her boys out for a picnic when Jax told her that he felt like they weren't getting enough time with her owing to her busy work schedule. She acknowledged his point and encouraged the kids to speak up and vocalize their opinions when they felt like that so she could try to be there to the best of her ability.
RHOBH season 13 will continue serving drama as it has in its earlier seasons and sharing an insight into the complex lives of these wives. Episode 2 will be ready to watch on November 1 at 8 PM ET on Bravo.
