They can't all be Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd!

Since kicking off with The Real Housewives of Orange County in 2006, and infiltrated an additional eight cities, the Bravo hit franchise has seen its fair share of divorces. In fact, we calculated the current divorce rate for all the series (which you can check out in our helpful pie charts below), as well as the franchise overall, which stands at 33.3 percent. 

Still, there are many couples, including LVP and Ken, that have avoided the dreaded reality TV divorce curse. So, to help keep the dream of true love alive, we've listed all the pairs that have stayed married despite inviting cameras into their homes.
