‘RHOBH’ Brandi Glanville Dating New Boyfriend: Kim Richards Refuses Rehab? [CAST NEWS]

Brandi Glanville may have had trouble with her men in the past, but word has it that things are finally turning around for the provocative Real Housewives of Beverly Hill cast member. According to he latest gossip news updates, the relationship is finally getting serious between Glanville and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Jonathan Ruiz. While Brandi has dated the successful real estate agent in the past, it's said that Donald Trump's drunk Celebrity Apprentice is finally taking JR around her sons, Jake, 8, and Mason, 11, which is said to be one of the few ways to tell that Brandi is considering settling down with a guy. In a related story, Glanville's Season 5 reunion bestie, Kim Richards, is reportedly refusing to go to rehab for her alleged addiction to alcohol, despite anvery embarrassing arrest at The Beverly Hills Hotel last week.

As Star Magazine has pointed out in the April 27, issue, Brandi Glanville has promised in the past that she wouldn't be bringing any of her love-interests around her two boys, unless she was serious about settling down with him, so their recently family outing to Marina del Rey, California the other weekend reportedly has Glanville's friend talking.

One source close to Brandi told the magazine the day spent with the kids on Jonathan Ruiz' yacht meant that something special was starting to develop there:

"This was a huge step for Brandi and JR, him getting to know her boys, teaching them how to skipper a boat, becoming a father figure."

While Brandi was enjoying some R and R with her well-heeled beau and her beaus over the weekend, her bestie, Kim Richards, was said to be pushing back against the popular consensus that she needs to go back to rehab.

Another close friend of the Richards' family told People that everyone was doing their best to convince Kim that some professional help would probably be the best thing for her, but for now, the former child star is still uninterested:

"People are trying to get her to go. A lot of people are worried about her.

"She is very embarrassed...[but] as of now, she is saying no to rehab."

According to the family informant, Kim may not wind up having much choice about going to get treatment before everything is all said and done, but thinks things probably won't have to come to that:

"She could be forced to go under court order.

"I have a feeling that she might wind up checking herself in.

"People who care for her hope she checks in."

At this point it kind of seems strange to single out Kim Richards as the only Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member who has a drinking problem, but you have to start somewhere.
