Lauri Peterson

Fan favourite Lauri Peterson is a US reality television star. She is best known for featuring in the acclaimed series Real Housewives of Orange County, where viewers have followed her life since her debut in season one. While on the show, Peterson entered as a struggling single mother before transforming into a radiant bride.

Peterson has found her voice on social media and cultivates an impressive 101k Instagram following. There she celebrates family life and showcases her daughter’s incredible dance skills.
