RHONY’s Kristen Taekman heats up the holidays in a tiny white bikini and fluffy Santa hat in Malibu

Real Housewives of New York City alum Kristen Taekman put on a very festive display in a fluffy Santa hat as she frolicked on the beach wearing a tiny white string bikini. 

As she strutted down the stunning Malibu shoreline in western Los Angeles County, the former reality star appeared to be taking advantage of the glorious weather amid forecasts the Big Apple could see as much as a foot of snow by the end of the week. 

The 43-year-old mother, who relocated to the City of Angels earlier this year, also ceased the opportunity to flaunt her sensational physique and gym-honed midriff.

While putting on a very busty display, Taekman could be seen throwing her hands in the air as she took a dip among the crashing waves and smiled brightly.  

Her long blonde hair was perfectly flat-ironed under her red hat with white furry trimmings and a matching pompom, which she paired with a single silver bracelet. 

In August, she announced her move on RealTea With Derek Z, after renting a house for a year first. 

‘Ive got family out here, and my husband’s family’s out here, and my son was born here. So I lived here for like, six, seven years,’ she explained of her decision.

She continued: ‘We started in New York, moved out to LA for six years, had my son, and then moved back to New York.’ 

‘We come out to L.A. every summer, for at least a month, six weeks,’ Taekman said. ‘And this summer, we were like: If we’re gonna homeschool indefinitely I’d rather homeschool with good weather, no winter — I literally just took a dip in the pool 10 minutes before I got on [this] Zoom call.’

In 2015 she said she was moving on from the Bravo reality show.

‘At this time in my life, I have decided to concentrate on my family and my new business ventures Pop Of Color nail polish and Last Night’s Look, my fashion blog,’ she said in a statement to Us Weekly.

The mom-of-two joined the franchise series in its sixth season and appeared in season seven with Bethenny Frankel, LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, Heather Thomson, Carole Radziwill and Dorinda Medley.

‘My experience during my time on RHONY was fantastic and I made some great new friends,’ Taekman added.

‘I will remain a Housewife and part of an amazing franchise forever and that is what is important.’

At the time, her personal life was rocked when it was revealed her husband had been a user of the Ashley Madison website.

DailyMail.com exclusively reported that the entrepreneur and founder of the EBOOST energy supplement had first joined the infidelity site in 2011 when his wife was pregnant with their second child. 

After a brief pause, he was found to have accessed the site every month between May 2012 and June 2014 and spending more than $1,500 in membership.

The businessman issued a public apology for his actions.

‘I signed up for the site foolishly and ignorantly with a group of friends and I deeply apologize for any embarrassment or pain I have brought to my wife and family,’ Josh said to E! Online. ‘We both look forward to moving past this and getting on with our lives.’

They are parents to son Cassius, known as Cash, and daughter Kingsley.

The couple appear to have worked through the scandal. In May she told Page Six, ‘We went to therapy on the show, and I think that when couples are married and then they have small kids, everything shifts, and I’m sure it’ll shift again, once the kids grow up and go to college, and I think we were going through a shift,’ she said.

‘I think it was good for us to sit back and kind of check in with where we were and made us definitely much stronger as a couple. Kind of coming out the other end of it, I feel like it really puts you to the test in a really good way, I think that’s what we did, and we’re stronger for it,’ she continued.
