Matt Richenthal at .Talk about a match made in reality TV heaven.
During a recent conversation with E! News, Gretchen Rossi said she is tight with NeNe Leakes.
"I'm really good friends with NeNe," the Real Housewife of Orange County said of The Real Housewife of Atlanta. "NeNe is one of my favorite people ever. She is so cool."
The pair met on a commercial shoot for Bravo.
"She is one of the most confident women I have ever met and I love that about her," Rossi said. "She would sit there and go, 'I'd watch me too if I were watching the show.' She's so all about herself... I'm a strong, confident woman, but just in a very different demeanor."
Speaking of relationships, Gretchen - who still wears the engagement ring of late fiance Jeff Beitzel - made no secret about her feelings for Slade Smiley.
"Slade is one of the best men I've come across in my life besides Jeff," Rossi said. "And I know he's a secure enough man that whether or not I'm wearing this ring would not matter to him at all."
