According to All About The Real Housewives, inside sources previously claimed that Gunvalson promised to get engaged with her boyfriend, Steve Lodge, in exchange for a full-time contract in Season 14. Sources revealed that Gunvalson has been stirring up a lot of drama as she fights for her spot on the show, but only an engagement was enough to keep her from losing her job.

“Bravo execs are waiting to see what she delivers,” the source revealed.

The insider added that if Gunvalson does not get engaged by the end of filming, she will lose her position on the show. Even more, producers want the engagement to happen on camera, which is only adding more stress to the situation. The rumors come amid speculation that Gunvalson was demoted prior to the start of filming.

Based on Cohen’s post, it does not sound like Gunvalson was forced to get engaged to keep her job. That does not eliminate the chance of seeing an engagement next season, but it looks like Gunvalson will be keeping her full-time status after all.
