Stephanie Shojaee is the newest cast member on The Real Housewives of Miami Season 7, but she is already connected to the group through RHOM alum Dr. Nicole Martin.
The real estate entrepreneur is in a loving relationship with her husband and business partner, Masoud Shojaee. But, once upon a time, she dated Nicole’s fiancé and longtime partner, Anthony Lopez. In the RHOM Season 7 trailer, Nicole can be seen making a special appearance, talking about Stephanie and her connection to Anthony.
“Out of all the people that could have joined the group, there have to be some similarities if the same man liked us both,” Nicole said.
Stephanie recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly, where she opened up about her history with Anthony. “Listen, we dated 20 years ago,” Stephanie explained.
“He was my dad’s attorney, we ended up meeting that way, we got along great, we dated,” she continued. “It didn’t last longer than like, a year or so, it’s really not that big of a deal.”
Where do Stephanie Shojaee and Nicole Martin stand today?
Stephanie and Nicole are in a good place. “Nicole and I don’t have any bad blood,” Stephanie said.
“We get along great. She’s fabulous, I’m fabulous, so who can blame Anthony for liking us both?” Stephanie added.

She recalled that they first met at a Miami Heat game when Stephanie was 26 years old and Massoud was 50. “Age difference was a really big deal for me,” she explained during the episode. “I did not want to be seen with an older gentleman, because of the misconception people thinking that if you are with an older guy, you are probably a gold digger. And then I met Massoud and everything changed.”
