This Mother’s Day weekend, it’s time to give the realest moms their flowers.
All year long, the ladies who make up your favorite Real Housewives franchises provide countless hours of entertainment, laughs and plenty of drama.
But when cameras stop rolling and confessional interviews stop recording, these ladies love being a mom to their kids.
In celebration of the holiday, Us Weekly reached out to a few fabulous kids – including Next Gen NYC stars Riley Burruss, Brielle Biermann and Gia Giudce — to see if they would write letters of love and appreciation to their mom who just so happens to be a Real Housewife.
What came next were notes of admiration and fondness for Bravo stars trying their best to keep it real.
Whether you’re loving the juicy storylines of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, counting down for the spicy return of The Real Housewives of Miami or missing the thick as thieves’ family bonds on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, kids from multiple cities came through to celebrate Mom this Mother’s Day weekend.

Dear mom,
Growing up with you has taught us the true meaning of strength and grace. Watching you rise through every challenge with courage has inspired Frankie and I to face life head-on. Your love has been the most consistent, grounding force in our lives, and we will carry the lessons you’ve taught us every day. We are grateful for your heart, your hustle and the way you always put family first. Thank you, Mom – or as Frankie says “my cucu” – for being our greatest example and our biggest cheerleader.
Love, Peter and Frankie

Dear mom,
While everyone sees you as the inspiring Housewife who juggles it all, I see you as that and so much more — the hardworking woman who inspires me every day. Your dedication to your work and family shows me the importance of perseverance and integrity. You've taught me right from wrong and how to be a good person, even when faced with challenges. I’ve learned and watched you gracefully handle all of yours. As I step into this new chapter of my life, I carry all of your lessons with me. Thank you for being my guiding light and always putting family first. I love you!
Love, Antonia

Dear mom,
I know people see you as a celebrity, but to me you are a loving and caring mother. You are the best mother I could ever ask for, and I would change nothing about you. You are always there for me no matter the circumstance because you are such an amazing person. I appreciate all the things you do for me, such as driving me places, taking me to my friends’ houses and on beautiful vacations to see the world as we know it. Again, you are the best mother ever for always supporting me, caring for me and watching out for me. I love you so much and I mean that with all my heart. It’ll be hard to repay you for all that you’ve done over the years but when you’re older, you won’t have to worry about anything; I got you.
Love, Ayden
Dear mom,
I agree that people see you as a celebrity, but in my heart and mind, you are a caring and loving mom that is always here for me and stands up for me. You are the best mom I could ever ask for. I am thankful for you taking me places and providing me with the things I need. I could not possibly want a different mother other than you. Thank you for all you have done for me.
Love, Dylan

Dear mom,
Happy Mother’s Day to the most amazing mom in the world. Your love, strength and kindness not only inspires me but everyone every single day! Thank you for always being there with a warm hug and wise words (and helping me feed my tortoises). I’m so grateful for everything you do and all the sacrifices you’ve made for us and this world. I don’t know how to describe it to you enough but I love you mom.
Love, Liam
