Vicki Gunvalson's relationship with Steve Lodge has come as good news to her family, especially her daughter, Briana Culberson.

Following years of tension between Culberson and her former boyfriend, Brooks Ayers, the Real Housewives of Orange County star has confirmed that she and Lodge are one big happy family with a new photo on Instagram.

"I get to spend my Saturday night with these 3 guys! #perfectnight #babysitting #chocolatechipcookies," Gunvalson wrote in the caption of the photo below, which featured Lodge and Culberson's two sons.

Along with a second photo, Gunvalson added, "I love this picture of Owen and Steve. Owen loves him so much. #gluedatthehip."

During an interview with The Daily Dish, Gunvalson spoke out about her relationship with Lodge.

"We're taking it really slow, and he wants to stay private," she said. "He does not want to film. He does not want to be part of it. He respects my career, respects my viewers, respects what I do, but he doesn't want to be part of it. So that's really nice for me is that he just wants to stay private."

"When we met, I was like, 'Have you ever watched a reality show?' He's like, 'No, I don't watch reality TV.' And I'm like, 'OK, good.' He's like, 'Why do you ask that?' And I said, 'I might be on a little bit of a show,'" Gunvalson joked. "He's like, 'Nope, I've never seen [it], I don't know who you are.' And I was like, 'Yes!' So that was really fun for me because most people would know me from TV. I mean, 11 years on, it's really hard to find somebody that doesn't know you, so that's a plus."
