Everything You Need To Know About The Real Housewives Of Atlanta's Newest Peach-Holder Brit Eady

Brit Eady, the newest addition to The Real Housewives of Atlanta, joins the cast for Season 16 alongside Porsha Williams, Drew Sidors, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell, and Angela Oakley. With Phaedra Parks arriving later in the season, Brit will be in the company of some of the most dynamic housewives the RHOA has ever seen.

Brit looks to be a formidable woman who will hold her own and make an impression on her RHOA castmates. The Georgia entrepreneur has numerous successful endeavors in her past and present—and all indications are her time on the RHOA will be just another place for Brit to thrive.

Brit's association with the RHOA has already made headlines, suggesting Season 16 looks as interesting as ever. Here's more about Brit and what she brings to the upcoming season of the RHOA.

Brit Eady Is A Former Model Who Established A Successful Insurance Agency

Brit Eady started modeling when she was a teenager and went on to appear in music videos like Soulja Boy's "Kiss Me Through the Phone" in 2008. After making appearances in commercials and movies, too, Brit decided she wanted to shift her focus to a more business-oriented career path.

One of the defining moments in Brit's life was the death of her father. Brit, a self-described "daddy's girl," talked about her father with Jonathan Dupassan AKA Finesse, calling him "the businessman... spontaneous... good at almost everything," something she feels has helped her become who she is today. Her father passed away in 2015 as a complete shock to Brit and her family:

"My dad had diabetes... he was tall... my dad always played sports, so he always looked healthy. He had got a bunion on his foot and because when you're diabetic you heal slow so he had a bunion on his foot that just wouldn't go away and he got a blood clot and died just like that.... He had surgery on his foot and then a month later he died."

That was the event in Brit's life that essentially "forced her to grow up" and take care of her family. In 2020, Brit started an insurance agency under the larger umbrella of Allstate, an endeavor that has garnered her millions.

Brit now offers a Master Class in how to be a successful insurance entrepreneur. According to her website,

Additional businesses Brit has started include Twelve Twenty Nine, a jewelry brand.

Brit found real love, however, with her husband, Michael Cunningham. Brit posts about their relationship on her social media, highlighting their time together,

"It has been the best ride of my life. Celebrating you is everyday… You are my world, my best friend, and my biggest headache. I would do it all over again. The way you love me, I pray everyone gets to experience this type of unconditional love."

As part of her life with Cunningham, Brit has also become the owner of a dog, Mimosa PreMadonna, a poodle she dotes on regularly.
