Obviously, the Kenyan-born socialite — whose real name is Pillott, but who goes simply by Ayan — is stunning, but she also brings earnestness and humor, which are welcome qualities for any Housewife appearing on these shows. As viewers get to know Ayan better, many are curious to learn more about her husband, who she's been with for over two decades, and the teenager they share.

"I have kept all my love [these] 20 years, I have kept my kid knowing his mum and dad, compared to how I grew up, that makes me really proud ... to show my kid there are better people and people can keep their relationship intact and fight for family values."
