They really are friends!
With all the fighting that goes on the Bravo reality show Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills you might assume the ladies are so at odds that when the camera stops rolling so does their need to hang out.
But as these exclusive Dailymail.com photos show, there is a lot of off-camera camaraderie between Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, and one of the newest cast members Jennifer Tilly.
Garcelle, 57, hosted a lavish beach dinner party for seven guests on Friday, not far from her stunning new $2.25 million home in the Oxnard Shores area of Ventura County while the cameras rolled.
The following morning the production crew was long gone but the three makeup-free ladies were seen sitting together out front enjoying coffee, tea and various snacks while enjoying a laugh.
Garcelle and Sutton sat in their pajamas on the porch swing while Jennifer sat beside them in a Gucci dress and sneakers.
Jennifer Tilly, 65, could seen showing photos from her phone to Garcelle, with Sutton, 52, interrupting saying, ‘Oh no, I hate that picture, don’t! I mean, I had just gotten off the flight I was so bloated I was retaining water, I mean I think I weighed 137 and I weigh 112 now.’
Garcelle was heard laughingly telling a story about Erika Jayne, 52, and gesturing to her head, ‘Remember she had like a shower cap on?’
She was also overheard saying, ‘I don’t think he’s gay, but I don’t think he knows what he wants.’
Sutton had a keen observation telling the girls, ‘You know, production should really be filming this, the morning after the party. People would want to see this.’
Garcelle and Jennifer told Sutton, ‘No! Don’t call them!’
The Dailymail.com was the first to report that Garcelle’s dream beach home was nearing completion in March.
Three years ago in August of 2021, she bought a 1950’s era 850-square-foot beach shack in Oxnard for $765,600 and promptly leveled it to the ground.
Last year she borrowed $1.5 million from BMO bank to fund the construction of the white, modern home you see in our exclusive photos.
Oxnard lacks the glam of Malibu just down the coast or Santa Barbara to the north, but it is a more affordable option.
It’s only natural that she would want to show off the finished product on the hit Bravo TV show to fans and her fellow Real Housewives.
The home is two-story, 2,700 square feet and has a full deck on top with a hot tub and seating area for entertaining.
From this upper deck there is an ocean view since the home is two blocks from the actual coastline and beach.
At around noon on Saturday a limo showed up to whisk away her pals.
Jennifer Tilly could be seen with expensive Louis Vuitton Yaykoi Kusama editon luggage that she left out on the street for the driver to load into the black SUV.
Sutton’s overnight bag was hard to miss as it had her name emblazoned on it!
Garcelle gave each of her friends some of the floral decorations from the party table scape.
When it was time for the hostess to leave she could be heard saying to the women, ‘Did you guys see my house key? I’m screwed if I can’t find it!’ She later found it and zoomed off back to her $1.5 million home in the Porter Ranch or Chatsworth section of Los Angeles County.
On season 11 of the show she said she wanted it to be a place for her family to enjoy.
‘I just want it to be a place my kids can go and just have fun, create memories, and when I’m gone they can say, ‘This is really cool that mom did this.’
She is going to need more room than ever with the news she is going to be a grandmother for the second time in January 2025.
Her eldest son Oliver Saunders, 33, from her first marriage to Daniel Saunders, announced recently that he is expecting a child with his bartender girlfriend Shantei. He has son Oliver Jr., four, with ex-wife Samantha.
Garcelle’s twin sons Jax and Jaid, 16, from her marriage to film producer Mike Nilon, have been seen enjoying the modern beach home in recent months along with her adorable Goldendoodle dog Kobe ‘Marshmallow’ Beauvais.
