Heather Dubrow is speaking out about cheating rumors.

Longtime “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Heather Dubrow is speaking out about cheating rumors surrounding her marriage to Terry Dubrow.

“It’s been said a few times that Terry cheated on me, with his assistant or whoever,” Dubrow said on the Oct. 8 episode of the “Out & About” podcast. “His assistant is a lesbian, by the way,” she added.

‘Why does he always cheat? Why can’t I cheat? I’m cute, I can cheat. Why isn’t it me?” she wondered jokingly. “It’s so obnoxious and insulting,” she added. How do she and her husband deal with these rumors? “We’ve always laughed off the rumors or whatever because it’s not a big deal,” she said.

So far, the rumors of infidelity have not broken the Dubrows. They have been married for 25 years and have four children together; twins Nick and Max, Kat and Ace.

Dubrow joined RHOC in season 7 in a full-time role. She left the show after season 11, but returned for season 16. She has been a part of the franchise ever since.

Heather Dubrow shared how she would react if Terry Dubrow cheated

In another interview on the ‘Uncut and Uncensored’ podcast in September 2024, Dubrow opened up more about the infidelity rumors that seem to keep popping up.

“It’s so stupid… People will say (Terry) is cheating on me. We are together 24/7. When is he cheating on me? And besides…I’m cute! Why doesn’t anyone ever think I’m cheating? I find that very insulting,” Dubrow told podcast host Caroline Stanbury.

Dubrow said she doesn’t worry about her husband having a wandering eye.

“I am a very secure, mature woman and I would never stay in a relationship that didn’t serve me. You know what I mean? I wouldn’t stay with someone for the kids,” she added, admitting she would “move on.”

However, Dubrow admits that if her husband cheated, she wouldn’t be able to trust him anymore.

“I told Terry before we ever got married, ‘Look, if you ever want to cheat on me, you better hope I never find out.’ Because that’s something I don’t think I could ever overcome because it would make me feel like a private detective. I would never feel comfortable,” she told Stanbury.

Terry Dubrow previously addressed the cheating rumors

In February 2024, Fox News Digital spoke with Terry Dubrow and asked him about the cheating rumors.

“Everyone is trying to take down a successful, stable person,” Terry Dubrow told the newspaper. He went on to talk about how hard the internet can be sometimes. However, he has quite a thick skin.

“If I was worried about negative comments on the internet or rumors or whatever, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. I mean, I couldn’t be a functioning husband in a relationship with my family. I think it would be hard to do reality shows in general, but you know, you get used to it and you kind of let it wash away,” he said.
