Brit Eady just joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta for Season 16, and we’re already learning some jaw-dropping details about the newcomer.
An announcement ahead of the new season revealed Brit is “basking in the glow of her 10-carat diamond ring and marriage to Michael [Cunningham].” Luckily for viewers, during the Season 16 premiere episode, Brit shared more about her stunning accessory.
“My husband is all about making sure I’m that girl,” she shared in a confessional. “I went from seven-and-a-half carats, and now, I have a 10-carat solitaire.”
Later in the March 9 episode, Brit answered questions about the ring after she was asked if she was married because she appeared to be wearing an engagement ring and not a wedding band. “This is my second wedding ring,” she clarified, adding, “[I’ve] only had one husband… This [ring] is the upgrade.”
