RHONY star Sonja Morgan, 61, reveals the secrets behind her youthful glow (and it involves her friends!)

by

Sonja Morgan looks absolutely incredible, and it’s thanks to a few life rules she adheres to. 

Although the former Real Housewives of New York cast member, aged 61, understands the significance of being camera-ready given her popularity on the show, she doesn’t attribute her glowing complexion to any specific facial cream.

In fact, she attributes her complexion to healthy relationships and her diet.  

In an exclusive conversation with the Daily Mail, I shared that the show was indeed filled with a fair share of dramatic moments. Yet, I firmly believe that if you lead your life honestly, end each day with a clear conscience, and enjoy a peaceful slumber, such authenticity will radiate from within, making it evident for all to see.

She often shares that during her upbringing, modeling across Europe – specifically Italy and France – taught her the importance of openly expressing one’s feelings and then swiftly moving forward. In other words, ‘keep it moving.’ This was her conclusion, she expressed.

‘New research suggests that individuals who live the longest tend to have strong, high-quality connections with others, and the greater number of such relationships they maintain, the longer their lifespan might be.’

Morgan also emphasizes the role rest plays in her appearance.  

She mentioned that while people often see her socializing with girls during vacations or brunches in town, the truth is that off-camera, she prioritizes rest, ensuring she gets enough sleep, and maintains a healthy diet.

She mentioned that she adheres to a Mediterranean-style diet, then expressed support for the MIND diet – a hybrid of Mediterranean and DASH diets – and occasionally includes red meat in her eating habits.

She mentioned that the most recent scientific findings suggest consuming red meat on a monthly basis or weekly. Specifically, they recommend having red meat once a week. To clarify, she stated that once a week is her preferred schedule for eating red meat. Furthermore, she expressed her fondness for meat and potatoes.

She mentioned that, in addition to ensuring good sleep that helps lower cortisol levels and reduce stress, it’s also important to set aside time for personal relaxation or self-care.

Last year, Morgan admitted to undergoing a facial rejuvenation procedure, specifically a facelift and neck lift. However, it’s clear that her focus on overall health also contributes significantly to her youthful appearance.

Morgan, as her recent Instagram posts suggest, is truly living up to her words, as she appears to be taking a break at the renowned wellness retreat, Canyon Ranch, for a rejuvenating getaway.

She praised Canyon Ranch, stating it provides cutting-edge, evidence-based information on health and life longevity in her caption for a post featuring relaxation at the spa in Tucson, Arizona. The spa’s amenities, including food, are remarkable, she added, and there are numerous ongoing classes available.

In simpler terms, the post displayed Morgan flaunting her toned figure in a short red dress, a white t-shirt, and sneakers while posing outside.

Additionally, she enjoyed a delicious meal consisting of lettuce wrap tacos and a lemony drink for dessert.

The getaway signifies a pause in Sonja’s nationwide comedy tour, Sonja In Your City. During this time, she’s bringing laughter to many, which undoubtedly benefits their spirits as well.

Their friendships with the RHONY group are flourishing, in part due to their useful group chat named ‘Original Beauties.’

‘We’re on a text chain OG Beauties,’ Morgan said. ‘Kelly Bensimon gave us that name. OG Beauties.’

Morgan, Bethenny Frankel, and Ramona Singer currently live in Florida, while their previous costar associates reside in either New York or Florida.

As I attended the glamorous Ryan Murphy’s premiere of “The Swans,” an unexpected delight occurred – I bumped into Bethenny! Our joy upon reconnecting was palpable, and it was quite a memorable moment we shared, as I enthusiastically recounted to Daily Mail.

Dorinda Medley, a former RHONY castmate, shared an emotional moment with me during a chance encounter at a women’s empowerment event. Seeing each other backstage led to tears and she expressed their deep connection by saying, “It’s real.

Morgan’s concern was genuine, as her friends were anxious when Singer went missing for several hours. They had all worried about Ramona because they hadn’t heard from her in three hours. Then, Morgan reassured them by saying, “Here she is, ladies… She’s playing golf. She’s okay.

‘When you go golfing, it typically takes about five hours. During that time, you won’t be reachable. To ensure we stay connected, we keep tabs on one another.’

Before becoming a cast member, Morgan had established close friendships with Luann de Lesseps, singer, and Jill Zarin. She attributes the authenticity of these relationships as one of the main reasons for the show’s enduring popularity.

She shared with Daily Mail that everyone in the group were friends prior to the show. This is why Andy Cohen’s book emphasizes that the strongest franchises are those where genuine friendships exist. She believes the decline of our show occurred when they attempted to introduce new talent who weren’t familiar with us or didn’t trust us, which clearly didn’t work as we all witnessed.

Despite any disagreements or dramas in the future, our friendships are strong enough to withstand them as we view each other like family, knowing that it’s not worth jeopardizing our bond over petty arguments.

‘We love each other.’
