Now that Natalie Swanston Fuller has officially completed her inaugural run on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15, there’s one key thing that she wants to clarify for viewers.
Though she didn’t make her RHOBH debut until Episode 6, Natalie revealed in an exclusive interview with BravoTV.com that there was a valid reason for her delayed introduction to the group.Â
“I think it’s important to clear up that when we agreed to do this, I had already arranged to be in Europe for a month,” Natalie explained. “So, I kind of come in very late.”

She quickly made up for lost time, however, making a splash with her edgy fashion choices, candor about a spicy massage, and even eventually going toe to toe with RHOBH OG Kyle Richards in a fourth-wall-breaking moment during the drama-filled cast trip to Italy.
“I thought it was a really amazing experience,” Natalie declared. “We’ve had the opportunity to watch 90 percent of it back, and I got to live it. And it was really fun.”
Natalie Swanston Fuller opens up about her RHOBH cast friendships
Fellow Season 15 newcomer Rachel Zoe detailed on the show how she had met Natalie “many years ago” through her “soon-to-be-ex-husband,” Simon Fuller, whom her official BravoTV.com bio credits as “the visionary behind American Idol and the Spice Girls.” In her recent interview, Natalie reiterated that she “knew Rachel socially,” prior to joining the cast as a friend.
“I was kind of really meeting everybody else for the first time,” she shared. “Each woman on the show is fascinating, and I really enjoyed getting to know everybody, [especially] Jennifer Tilly and Kathy Hilton. The ‘friends of’ club felt very, very nice to me.”

On the flip side, Natalie noted that she probably got to know Dorit Kemsley the least while filming.
“But she had her hands full,” Natalie added. “Anytime I saw her, there was so much going on personally, that it wasn’t like I could be like, ‘Hey, I like your shoes. Let’s talk about fashion, or things that we would probably connect on.’ But I think she’s lovely. And I think everybody is a really interesting, dynamic woman.”
Natalie Swanston Fuller shares new details about her relationship with her daughters
Though viewers may not have necessarily gotten an in-depth look at Natalie’s family, she underscored the fact that her and Simon’s three daughters — Grace, 15, and 10-year-old twins Josephine and Ruby — are at the center of her life.
“Obviously, my kids weren’t a part of the show,” she acknowledged. “But the most important thing I do is be a mother to three girls. It’s the thing I’m proudest of, the thing that brings me the most joy.”
As for their latest milestones, Natalie claimed that “just in the last week” alone, her eldest daughter had grown a half inch taller than she is and now even fits in her shoes. “Which is a real problem,” Natalie joked. “She’s already marked her territory.” Coincidentally, all three of her girls even share the same December birthday, along with similarly big personalities.
“I think it was great training for the show,” Natalie remarked, referring to motherhood. “Because I have three very distinct characters at home that I sit at the dinner table with most nights. It was a good jumping-off point.”
Inside Natalie Swanston Fuller’s career and future projects
According to her Season 15 bio, Natalie is an entrepreneur and creative consultant who is “known for her international, intuitive and thoughtful approach to curating enriched modern living.” More specifically, she recently co-founded Blackmore Hair, a premium haircare brand built on the principles of wellness, simplicity, and self-care.Â
“I have a background in different creative projects,” Natalie further explained, highlighting her past work in interior design, for example. “My husband has had several different entertainment properties that I’ve very much been a part of. I don’t think anyone knows that. And I really enjoy that process.”
Nowadays, as Natalie works on “building this haircare brand,” she’s also got her sights set on broadening her horizons even more in the future.
“I’m kind of enjoying the process of identifying things that I want or need or love and developing them in a way that I can share them with people,” she elaborated. “I’m working on a champagne project right now. And, at some point, I would love to look at hospitality and merge all of the worlds that I’ve spent my life, to date, kind of immersed in, which is design and food.”
Natalie concluded, “I love to cook, and I’ve been around some incredible chefs in my life. I love music. I love vibe. And I, at some point, would love to look at how I can put that all together as well.”
