Diana Jenkins is the newest cast member of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills franchise, and fans are eager to learn more about her past, including details about her ex-husband, Roger Jenkins. As the newest housewife to join the hit reality TV show, it comes as no surprise that a lot of eyes are on cast member Diana. The self-proclaimed villain of the show divorced her ex-husband in 2009, but that isn’t stopping fans from wanting to find out who Roger is.
Diana, who changed her name from Sanela Dijana Ćatić, originally hails from Bosnia and Herzegovina but has cemented herself as a household name in the United States. Although not born into wealth like other of her RHOBH co-stars, Diana became the wealthy socialite and philanthropist that she is today from her divorce from British financier Roger Jenkins. Since their split, she has continued to build a lavish lifestyle for herself, acquiring various homes and properties all over the world.
Former Barclay’s banker Roger met his ex-wife Diana, who is now with Asher Monroe, following a divorce from his first wife and fellow banker Catherine McDowell. According to Daily Mail, Diana joked about the meeting of the two, saying, “It was perhaps more instant attraction for him than me. He’s a very, very nice man. What people don’t understand, I think, is that Roger really was, you could say, nobody when we met. He was not this very wealthy man. He was my first friend in England really.” The pair got married in 1999 and welcomed two children together during their marriage. Roger, who boasts a net worth of $80 million, left Barclays in the year of his divorce from Diana and started his own advisory firm in 2010.
After 10 years of marriage, the two decided to call it quits on amicable terms. As part of their divorce settlement, the new wealthy housewife Diana was said to have received $150 million from Roger, making her a part of the 500 wealthiest people in the UK. When asked about their divorce in an interview, Roger said, “Will she take half my money? Of course. Without her, I would not have had anything like the success I’ve had. I love Diana and have such admiration for her as a mother, businesswoman, and someone who was brilliant as a wife. We have moved on and are supremely happy with the arrangements we have in our lives. Diana will always be a very happy part of my life.” This further proves that the two had no bad blood between them at the time of their divorce.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Diana Jenkins is bringing alpha energy to the show, and has already proven to viewers that she has what it takes to step into the limelight and entertain viewers. Following her amicable divorce from Roger, she shows no signs of slowing down in her quest for success. She’s bringing in the drama with full force, and viewers should expect a lot from her.
