New Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Garcelle Beauvais has been very open about her life, which is pretty refreshing considering how notoriously tight-lipped the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills group is. During her second episode, she opened up about her split from her ex-husband, Mike Nilon. So who is this man?

Instead of spewing some nonsense about how they "simply grew apart" or that they split as "the best of friends," she kept it very real. She recalled, "We were sort of like the Hollywood couple. I'm an actress, he's an agent. We would go to fabulous parties, we've got these two beautiful boys." She really thought she was living this perfect life, admitting that she thought the marriage was her "last stop." Unfortunately, things weren't the way they seemed.

During the episode, shared, "Then one day nine years ago, I said, 'Hey, Mike, can I use your phone?' And so I look at the phone, and I see a text that says, 'I love you.' I go, 'Hey, what's this?' And his face changed." He copped to the affair and he revealed that it had been going on for FIVE years of their 9-year marriage. Meanwhile, Garcelle had zero clue that it was happening. In response, she addressed an email to his friends' coworkers comparing his affair to Tiger Woods and Jesse James' cheating scandals. Savage. Garcelle didn't mention her ex by name, but it's pretty obvious who he is.

Garcelle and Mike Nilon tied the knot in 2001. When Garcelle found out about the affair in 2010, Mike worked at Creative Artist Agency, a talent and sports agency. Page Six, released Garcelle's infamous email, where she wrote, "I found out today that MY husband of almost 9 yrs has been having an affair for 5 yrs with some slut in Chicago. I am devastated!!!! And I have been duped!! Our boys don’t deserve this!" According to his LinkedIn, he was a talent agent at CAA from 1993 to 2011, leaving shortly after the cheating scandal. Soon after, he became a partner at LINK Entertainment, where he stayed until 2017. In 2018, Mike opened up his own agency called Stride Management. He also has eight producing credits to his name, according to IMDb.

Garcelle and Mike have two sons together, Jax Joseph and Jaid Thomas Nilon, who were born in 2007, according to People. In October 2019, Garcelle posted a birthday shout out to the twins and she even included a "thanks" to Mike in there. Well, she didn't even write out the whole word, but she did write "thx @mcnilon." Following a super public scandal, Mike seemingly lives a low key life, with a private Instagram account and less than 700 followers.

At this point in the season, it's unclear if Garcelle will mention her divorce again. After all, she laid out a lot during that one story. It doesn't seem like it could get much juicier than Garcelle reading Mike to filth in a company-wide email, but if it does, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans want to hear all about it. But, if she does, will Mike emerge from that private Instagram account and share his side of the story? Hopefully, not just because it sounds like it would be an uphill battle. While no one should ever have to go through the pain that Garcelle experienced in her marriage, she seems to be in a much better place these days, and, most importantly, she has her twin sons.
