Her parents are Bobbi and Frank Meza; she has a younger brother named Eric and she is of Latin descent. According to her Bravo profile, Kelly’s heart is as big as her mouth and she loves all things fun! Though her favorite things are gossip and champagne!
Kelly Dodd’s Marriage
She has a preteen daughter named Jolie, with her ex-husband Michael Dodd. They got married in 2006 but divorced officially in 2018. Their marriage was often a plot for them on the show where they were seen constantly fighting and trying to make it work. Dodd knew that it wasn’t right for them to be fighting in front of young Jolie, and though she tried to make her marriage work, eventually she threw in the towel. Many who watched the show saw the ups and downs of their relationship and weren’t shocked to hear of the news when it finally ended.

Kelly Dodd Now
If you ever want to see more of Kelly Dodd’s pics, then look no further than Kelly Dodd’s Instagram. She’s always posting about her family, friends and anything in general that interests her. Recently, the reality star posted an endorsement for Teami Blends, a Florida-based company that makes tea designed to cut stomach fat and promote weight loss. She posted a promotion code with her lengthy caption but so far, there’s no amount given about her paid partnership with the company.
Kelly also posted about an article in People, where they wrote her age as 44, instead of 42. Until recently, Google also stated that she was 44 but has since changed it to her correct age. (Any woman would have likely made sure to correct that mistake!)
