In a conversation with US Weekly, Osefo opened up about the trying time in their lives as they navigate the choppy waters of federal charges and how Eddie has been her rock through it all.
“I’ve been on the show seven seasons, and I feel like I’ve had that [thought] a few times. But this time, it was a resounding, ‘Do I even want to go back? Do I even want to put myself in this position?’ I think if it was left up to me, my answer would have been no. But the people around me and my loved ones were like, ‘No, your story doesn’t end here,’ and so I came back.”
She continued,
“He’s always a cheerleader for me, and naturally, as my husband, I spoke with him and said, ‘What do you think? Should I go back?’ He says, ‘Yeah, I definitely think you should go back. I think that your story does not end here, and just see it through.’”

“Oh, we are stronger than ever,” she told Cohen on Sunday. “That is my ride or die.”
When asked how their relationship had improved, Wendy acknowledged that things weren’t always easy.
“In the beginning, it was hard, and that’s what you guys saw,” she explained, noting that being a Housewife means allowing cameras to capture whatever is happening in her life. “At the time, we were going through a rough time.”
Cohen also asked whether she believed the couple would emerge from their legal battle stronger, regardless of the outcome.
“Yes, I put that on everything,” Wendy declared. “We’re coming out of it together.”
The reality star also shared an update on their children, revealing that they’re doing well despite the family’s circumstances. She acknowledged that the children are aware of the situation to varying degrees, with their oldest being the most informed.
As for her mother, whose relationship with Eddie has previously been a point of tension on #RHOP, Wendy said her priority is now the family’s well-being.
“My mom just wants the well-being and happiness of all of us, of our household,” she said, adding that her mother continues to help around their home and remains a strong supporter.

The case stems from an alleged April 2024 burglary at the couple’s home, during which they reported more than $450,000 worth of jewelry and luxury items stolen.
However, investigators questioned their account after Wendy was reportedly seen wearing a diamond anniversary ring that had been listed among the missing property. Authorities also alleged that other items reported stolen had previously been purchased and returned.
The investigation resulted in 16 counts against Wendy and 18 against Eddie.
The allegations have not been proven in court, and the couple is scheduled to stand trial in January 2027.
For now, Wendy is standing firmly beside her husband, maintaining that whatever happens next, they’ll face it together.
