'Real Housewives' Tamra, Eddie Marriage in Trouble? Season 9 Reunion Show Absence Fuels Rumors

"Real Housewives of Orange County" star Tamra Judge is said to be experiencing marital woes with her husband Eddie.

The mother-of-four has been at the center of drama this season on the hit reality TV show and Eddie is said to be fed up and trying to distance himself from it all. The couple, who wed just over one year ago, are said to be at odds mainly over Tamra's role on the show.

"Tamra's marriage to Eddie is indeed not in a very good place. It's distressing for Eddie to have his wife be so obsessed with her career in reality television," a source told RadarOnline.com. "They constantly bicker, which isn't a good sign. They should be enjoying the honeymoon phase of their marriage."

Last week Tamra, along with her co-stars, filmed the season 9 reunion show and Eddie reportedly refused to take part this year because he is tired of the drama.

Bravo TV producers reportedly tried to persuade him by offering him a large sum of money, however, he still had no interest in taking part despite having appeared on last year's reunion show.

"Eddie was invited to go to the reunion, but refused and Tamra was extremely upset about it," the insider revealed. "Bravo even offered to pay Eddie extra money to go, but that still couldn't entice him. There are no contractual obligations for him to be a part of the reunion."

This season viewers saw Tamra at the center of drama due to issues surrounding "email-gate."

Last week her co-stars Heather Dubrow, Shannon Beador, Vicki Gunvalson and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Rovsek each called her out for her antics which is likely the sort of drama that Eddie wanted to avoid.

"For Eddie, however, there was nothing to gain by going and it would have been a waste of his time," explained the insider. "All of the over-the-top drama, including from his own wife, was just wearing on his nerves."

Part 1 of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 9 reunion show airs August 25 on the Bravo TV network.
