Carmella Garcia Was a Playmate Before She Was a Real Housewife

If you’re a longtime Playboy subscriber, the newest member of the Real Housewives of Orange County might look familiar. Carmella Garcia—formerly Carmella DeCesare—was Playboy’s Miss April 2003 and our 2004 Playmate of the Year. Now a real estate agent and developer, Garcia has lived many lives. In addition to being a Playmate, Garcia was also a WWE wrestler. She’s done it all! And soon, she’ll invite you inside her life on the iconic Bravo series.

Garcia is far from the only Real Housewives cast member to appear in the pages of Playboy. In fact, original Orange County cast member Jeana Keough was our November 1980 Playmate of the Month. Garcia now joins a rich and beautiful legacy of real housewives who have graced this magazine. Enjoy her pictorials here.
