Some of our favorite ladies are back in season 6 of Bravo’s popular show The Real Housewives of New York City, which premieres tonight! Returning to the small screen are Aviva Drescher, Carole Radziwill, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, and Heather Thomson, joined by the newest housewife Kristen Taekman, a model and businesswoman.

Outside of relaxing in the Hamptons and surviving the occasional catfight, if there’s one thing these women know, it’s relationships. From married to widowed to divorced and dating with kids, CupidsPulse.com thought it’d be fun to explore their diverse relationships.
