Vicki Gunvalson reveals she has an ‘incredible’ new boyfriend

She’s filling up her love tank: Vicki Gunvalson has a boyfriend — and he’s “incredible.”

“I am so excited,” Gunvalson gushed on Access Hollywood’s “Housewives Nightcap” on Wednesday.

“He is the first man that has ever really treated me to anything. He is like, ‘I got that, you’re not paying for that.’ I am like, ‘Are you real?’ He is frickin’ incredible.”

“The Real Housewives of Orange County” alum, who’s been dating around — and even hired a matchmaker to find love — didn’t reveal her mystery man’s name, but she shared he’s from Texas.

“I gave him an 18[-point] list of what I want in my person,” Gunvalson, 59, continued. “‘Cause, you know, in all the books you read, in all the self-help books, you manifest your person.

“I manifested him. He has everything [on the list] but one [thing]. Including wearing cowboy boots and loving country-western music. He doesn’t have a boat.”

In January, the Coto Insurance founder shared some of the things that are on said list while appearing on an episode of “Two T’s in a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge.”

She listed “good teeth,” “non-smoker,” “family man,” “self-sufficient,” “entrepreneur,” “must love Jesus” and “confident,” among, presumably, 11 others.

“My heart’s full and it’s happy,” Gunvalson continued to Access Hollywood. “That is how it is in the beginning anyways. My tank is full!” 

The OG of the OC also explained that she now knows how to look for “red flags” when it comes to her potential love interests.

Gunvalson was previously engaged to Steve Lodge, but they announced their breakup in September after a two-year betrothal and nearly five years together. Three months after announcing the split, Lodge, 63, got engaged to Janis Carlson.

“So I know now to look for those red flags that I didn’t before. I didn’t handle them before,” Gunvalson said. “I just stayed. To me, you get committed and you stay. You fix the problem. You don’t leave. And now, what I’m realizing [is] you can leave. You don’t have to stay when there’s red flags.”
