“The Real Housewives of Orange County” mainstay Tamra Judge once told Us Weekly that her biggest regret was never going to college, but it looks like her son, Spencer Barney, is achieving what she couldn’t (due to her pregnancy with her first child at the end of high school). After Barney graduated from high school in 2018, he entered college to earn a degree in psychology. In 2019, Judge received mild backlash after she uploaded a photo of a tattoo Barney got while away at school, with more conservative fans questioning her parenting skills. Although the “RHOC” star admitted she thought he would “regret” the ink, she defended her son in the comments, saying, “I want my children to be able to express themselves. He’s a good kid, going to college, good grades, doesn’t drink or get into trouble.” When Barney turned 21 in 2021, Judge wrote in her birthday post that he was “dead set on never having a sip of alcohol.”

During an episode of “The Daily Dish” in August 2022, the Housewife gave an update noting Barney had transferred schools to a state college an hour away from Orange County. Judge gushed to Bravo in June about how her son was getting ready to receive his degree soon. “[He’s] been working really hard,” she shared. “He lives about an hour away from us, but we talk every single day. And he’s excited to graduate.”
