Marlo Hampton was born on February 7, 1976, in St. Petersburg, Florida. She gained public recognition through her appearances on the Bravo reality television series “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Hampton first appeared on the show in 2011 as the first official “friend of the housewives” during its fourth season. Her role expanded over subsequent seasons, becoming a recurring guest and eventually being promoted to a full-time cast member for the fourteenth season, which premiered in 2022.

Throughout her television career, Hampton has balanced her presence on screen with her evolving pursuits in the fashion industry. She launched her luxury boutique, Le Archive, located in Buckhead Village, Atlanta, which features over 5,000 pieces from her personal collection. This venture reflects her long-standing interest in fashion and styling. Beyond her business endeavors, Hampton has engaged in philanthropic efforts, particularly focusing on foster care. Her non-profit organization, Glam It Up, Inc., aims to support and empower foster girls, an initiative she has frequently highlighted.

In 2024, Hampton announced her departure from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” after the fifteenth season, citing a desire to focus on new creative entertainment projects and dedicate more time to her family, specifically her nephews. Her career has also included minor acting roles, such as appearing in “Games People Play” (2019), “Boss Moves with Rasheeda” (2022), and serving in the costume and wardrobe department for “Caught in the Act: Unfaithful” (2022).
