“The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” returns this Sunday for its second season with a new castmate: Jennie Nguyen.
Nguyen is the first Vietnamese cast member in the entire “Real Housewives” franchise. The season preview shows her proudly wearing a pink ao dai, a traditional garment, to an event. Her Instagram is filled with Vietnamese dishes like shaking beef, banh beo (rice cakes) and mi vit quay (duck noodle soup).
But beyond the fashion and food, Nguyen says she’s as a loving wife and mother. She has three children with her husband Duy: Atlas (16), Triton (12) and Karlin (10).
Nguyen sat down with TheWrap’s deputy editor Lawrence Yee ahead of the season premiere to talk about joining the show. (Note: this interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity).
TheWrap: You share your immigrant story in the first episode. How long have you lived in Salt Lake City?...
