Saying Good-bye to Jeana Keough
Jeana Keough was one of the original housewives from season one. She has been voted in some polls as the most popular cast member.
This season, viewers will see Jeana go through significant lifestyle changes because of the sputtering economy and sagging real estate market.
“We’re not going out to eat as much,” said Jeana, 54, a real estate agent. “I cut back on a couple of cars. The kids have really learned the value of money.” ( did they have a choice?)
Jeana is going through a divorce with former Major League Baseball player Matt Keough. She has three kids: Shane, 23, who’s playing with the minor league Stockton Ports baseball team; Kara, 21,the little girl in the Dustin Hoffman movie “Outbreak”, has left Berkeley and is a junior at UCLA; and Colton, 17, a senior at Tesoro High School.
The former Playboy Playmate (November 1980) says she really has enjoyed being on “Housewives,” and it has helped her gain referrals in her business. “People call and say, ‘You don’t know me, but I watch the show.’ I’ve met a lot of friends that way.”
At the same time, the series does have an effect on her personal life. “The kind of guys I date don’t want to be on TV.” (what do you want, Jeana, a Slade Smiley?)
Jeana will appear in the first three episodes of season 5, and then say goodbye to the show, so she can focus on finances and family. “I don’t think they can kill me because it’s reality,” she said. Her final episode will air Nov. 19.
