RHOC’s Vicki Gunvalson believes ex-fiance Steve Lodge ‘is already dating’ just days after split and ‘used her for fame’

The source told The Sun: "Vicki and Steve talked about marrying in Puerto Vallarta. She bought the home so they could retire there.

"She is still madly in love with Steve. Most recently, Vicki supported his run for the California Governor campaign."

Already "devastated," Vicki was further crushed when she learned Steve had been spotted out and about with a new woman.

"While Vicki was vacationing in Mexico last weekend, she found out that Steve was spotted with a woman looking very cozy at a restaurant that they had once frequented together."

The source added Vicki's close friends believe Steve has "no shame" and was using her to gain followers and support for his gubernatorial campaign.

The source noted: "Vicki believed in their future together and now she feels used. While Vicki is heartbroken, she is strong and able to pick up the pieces and move forward."

Steve and Vicki were reportedly still living together until three weeks ago.
