Adrienne Maloof Reveals What Her Three Sons Are Up to These Days: "I Couldn't Believe It"

“They’re all in college now, so I’m an empty nester,” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum told Us Weekly at the recent “It’s Up to Us” women’s health event. “They’re doing wonderful.” 

Adrienne told the outlet that her eldest son, Gavin Nassif, is enrolled at San Diego State University and pursuing a career in the movie biz. The 22-year-old film studies major has been a production assistant for numerous projects and, according to Adrienne, recently received an opportunity to work on a Kevin Costner film.

Nineteen-year-old twins Collin and Christian Nassif just completed their first year at Southern Methodist University and the University of Southern California, respectively. Adrienne said her youngest boys are both members of the Sigma Chi fraternity and are interested in business and finance. 

Adrienne Maloof reveals what went down when she visited her son at college

Adrienne got a taste of Christian's college life when she visited his fraternity house earlier this year. And, let's just say, she was shocked by what she saw.

“I went in there to an event and said, ‘Come on, you guys really live like this?’ I couldn’t believe it,” she recalled with a laugh. 

Adrienne didn’t provide details on the living situation but suggested the frat house lavatory was… less than satisfactory.

“[Christian] said, ‘I told you, mom, not to use the bathroom in here.’ And I go, ‘Where am I supposed to use the bathroom?’” she said.

Adrienne Maloof praises her sons' collective work ethic

Adrienne shares her sons with her ex-husband, Dr. Paul Nassif. The couple tied the knot in 2002 and separated roughly a decade later. She attributed her sons’ success to their upbringing, saying she and Paul “are very strict about hard work.”

“I don’t mind giving them nice things, but they gotta work for it, too,” she explained. “We’re blessed to have good kids. They’re on their own. I’m very proud of them. I couldn’t be more proud.”

Where does Adrienne Maloof stand with her ex-husband, Paul Nassif?

Since their divorce in 2012, Adrienne and Paul have established a healthy co-parenting relationship. In fact, Adrienne believes she and her ex-hubby are better than ever before.

“We’re actually friends. We’re better friends than we were probably married,” she said. “But we’re raising three boys and we have to figure it out because that’s what you got to do. You have to for the sake of your kids. But we’re friends. We’re very good friends.”
