The only difference is that one of the women is a &#8220;Real Housewives&#8221; star.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The first three episodes featured &#8220;Real Housewives of Salt Lake City&#8221; star Angie Katsanevas, &#8220;Real Housewives of New Jersey&#8221; veteran Melissa Gorga, and &#8220;Real Housewives of Orange County&#8221; personality Emily Simpson, and the season will end with Wendy swapping lives with Alethea Shapiro from Florida.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Speaking with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/okmagazine.com\/p\/wendy-osefo-didnt-hesitate-jump-into-wife-swap\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:OK! Magazine;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">OK! Magazine<\/a>, Wendy explained her decision to join the cast of the rebooted classic and even admitted it took some time to convince her husband to play along.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I&#8217;m one of those people where I jump into things headfirst, then think about the consequences later,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I was like, &#8216;This will be great!&#8217; I can look back on this when I&#8217;m 90 years old and say, &#8216;Look what I did!&#8217; But my husband [Eddie Osefo] had more questions. He was like, &#8216;Wait, what is this? What are we doing? How long is this?&#8217; It was a mixed bag. But we talked through it. Then it all made sense and we decided, &#8216;Hey, why not?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Wendy Osefo Wanted To Bring A New Vibe Into The Shapiro Household<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So far, the &#8220;Wife Swap&#8221; episodes have showcased the glamorous &#8220;Real Housewives&#8221; stars struggling to adapt before finding their footing. While Wendy likely had her own struggles, she went into the experience hoping to leave a lasting impression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I wanted to come into the Shapiro household with love. I know that they had their own rules,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I also knew that these are kids who miss their mom. I didn&#8217;t want to be a burden. I wanted to be an addition. I wanted to make sure that I respected what they had going on, but I also wanted to bring in any positivity I could add to their household. I hope I was able to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Wendy Osefo Gets Candid About The Challenges Of Motherhood<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"1140\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/RiAv.2AtKdHFYfFzp8j4Eg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTExNDA7Y2Y9d2VicA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/theblast_73\/f89d0009deeb5b9a26f497e50f4b7cc1\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Instagram | Wendy Osefo<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite &#8220;Wife Swap&#8221; and &#8220;Real Housewives of Potomac&#8221; airing on the same network, the shows are vastly different, something Wendy seems grateful for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The story and what the viewers get to see [on RHOP] is the group dynamic,&#8221; she said. &#8220;With Wife Swap, it is centered around our experiences as mothers \u2014 that in and of itself is a unique sorority, for lack of a better word, to be a part of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As she went on, Wendy got candid about the ups and downs of motherhood, admitting that raising three children &#8220;is not easy,&#8221; and viewers would see that clearly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She added, &#8220;It&#8217;s not for the faint of heart.
