They were spotted recently snuggling at L.A.'s Gen Art Fall Fashion show. Now Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley have taken to cuddling on the open seas. The two were snapped Wednesday on a boat in Newport Beach, Calif., applying suntan lotion on each other and smooching.

Housewives fans will remember Slade as former O.C. Housewife Jo De La Rosa's ex-fiance. He also dated another ex-O.C. Housewife, Lauri Waring.

Gretchen is also no stranger to romantic entanglements. After costar Tamra Barney called her out on the season 4 reunion, Gretch denied cheating on her late fiance Jeff Beitzel (who passed away in September) with a man named Jay Photoglou.

Tell us: Do you think serial Housewife dater Slade will be making a cameo as Gretchen's new guy on season 5 of the Real Housewives of Orange County?
