Tamra Judge and her husband, Eddie Judge, have closed CUT Fitness after nearly 10 years in business.
“We decided to close our gym down way before I got asked back to the show,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star said in Monday’s episode of her podcast, “Two Ts in a Pod,” referring to her return to the Bravo reality series for Season 17. “So that had nothing to do with anything that’s going on right now.”
Tamra explained that her and Eddie’s gym in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., was “doing good” until the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
“Listen, we almost made it to [10] years. I’m proud of what we did, what we built,” she said, adding, “It is what it is. It’s sad. It’s a loss. It’s 100 percent a loss. It’s hard.”
However, the Bravolebrity and Vena CBD co-founder, 54, teased that “more things are coming” that fans will get to see upon her return to “RHOC.”
