Which cast members belong to Mormon royalty?
Lisa Barlow's family converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when she was a child and was raised as a practicing Mormon.
Barlow considers herself "Mormon 2.0" as she is not one to "adhere to all of the traditional and strict Mormon rules," according to her Bravo profile.
"When you think about the Mormon church there's like a laundry list of things that they don't ever do. Which basically makes you perfect, and I am far from perfect," Barlow said during an interview with Us Weekly.
"I just do Mormonism my way."
Heather was once a "devout Mormon from birth," although things have now changed.
She was married to "Mormon royalty" for the past 11 years, but distanced herself from the church after her divorce.
“It all came crashing down when we got divorced five years ago,” she said on the show.
“In the Mormon church, divorce is not an option.”
“I didn’t know anyone that was Mormon and divorced and single and happy," she told Page Six after her split.
"I either had to get remarried or redefine my entire life. I had three little kids and I didn’t know how to do it and nobody gave me any guidance.”
She now says she's a "good Mormon gone bad" and says doesn't practice as much as she once did.
