Adrienne Maloof Secret: First Marriage Revealed and then Engagement Before Paul Nassif [VIDEO]
Adrienne Maloof and her ex-husband Dr. Paul Nassif recently signed divorce papers but the reality star has reportedly done it once before as well.
The 51-year-old was married to California-based real estate investement executive and former football player Steve Marks Jr. in 1993, an insider told Star magazine. The source added that they had a lavish wedding with more than a thousand guests in attendance, and at the time Maloof and her family had already made fortunes from Coors beer distribution, trucking, banking and hotels.
Six months after they tied the knot, Maloof and Marks Jr. filed a joint petition for divorce in Las Vegas. Maloof kept her wedding and engagement rings, the wedding gifts, all home furnishing and a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder, according to the report.
In July 2001, the publication Sacramento Bee ran a column reporting that Maloof was "planning a January wedding to Joe Longo, a Los Angeles sports attorney." However, January came and no wedding took place. In February of 2002 Maloof had an engagement party with Nassif and they married in May of that year.
The couple finalized their divorce in Novemeber 2012 after 10 years of marriage.
Maloof refused to attend the taping for the reunion of season three's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, however, she was still a topic of discussion on the television special. Host Andy Cohen asked her castmates to comment on photos that Chef Bernie Guzman posted online to support his claims that Maloof was abused Nassif. The photos reportedly showed bruises on Maloof.
Part two of the reunion special aired Monday on Bravo. Maloof claimed in season three of the show that Nassif abused her and their children when they were married. Taylor Amstrong said at the reunion that Maloof admitted Nassif moved out several times during their marriage, and that their arguments and fights were not just for television.
