Simpson’s children with her husband, Shane, are part of her storyline on the show, according to her bio on the Bravo website.
“With three children under five, and two step-daughters from Shane's previous marriage, Emily and Shane, are trying to plan out the future of their family and their careers together,” the bio reads.
Bravo describes Simpson as “a true rags-to-riches story,” saying, “Emily is an Ohio transplant who came from nothing and willed herself to great success to become an attorney, a part-time party-planer, a wife and a mom.”
The bio also hints at some controversy Simpson may bring to the show.
“Emily planned Tamra's baby shower for granddaughter Ava a few years back, but had a falling out with her shortly after befriending some of Tamra's former besties. Now focusing on mending the toxic relationships in her life, Emily hopes that she can find true friendships with the ladies,” the bio says.
Season 13 of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” premieres at 9 p.m. July 16 on Bravo.
