Go inside the life of eldest son of RHOBH cast member, Garcelle Beauvais, including a look at his role as dad to his two kids
Garcelle Beauvais’ son, Oliver Saunders, is one busy guy. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member’s eldest son is definitely thriving in his life as a father of two, big brother to Jax and Jaid, as well as a loving partner to his girlfriend, Shantei. And, duh!, he also happens to be a proud son to Garcelle. And, with so much going on in his family, he continues to find ways to celebrate all their biggest moments and vice versa.
You see, Garcelle is just as proud of Oliver as well. Back in late February, Garcelle shared a sweet tribute to her eldest son to mark his birthday. She wrote, “Help me wish [Oliver] a Happy Happy Birthday! I love you! I’m proud of you.”
Oliver Saunders shares an update on his kids, Oliver Jr. and Valley
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree as Oliver, much like his mom, loves to share all the latest updates on his two kids, son, Oliver Saunders Jr., and daughter, Valley Marie-Claire Saunders.
“I could brag about my son ALL DAY because he deserves it,” Oliver wrote about his son being named a star student multiple times. “Oliver Jr puts in the work everyday to be the amazing little man that he is! You Make Daddy Soooooooo Proud!”
The family has also settled into life with a baby as Oliver has really taken to his role as a big brother to his little sister, Valley, who was born in January. In fact, Oliver shared a video of his son feeding his baby sister a bottle, captioning the sweet moment: “Valley is so lucky [to] have you as a big brother Oliver Jr.”
Is Garcelle’s son, Oliver Saunders, in a relationship?
Yes! And he never misses a chance to gush about his partner, Shantei, who welcomed their daughter, Valley, back in February 2025. “My partner in crime! Together we are unstoppable!” Oliver wrote about Shantei recently. “I love you baby.”
Previously, he took some time out to shout out both Shantei and Garcelle for how important they are to him. “Happy National Women Day [to] the two most important women in my life!” he shared alongside a selifie featuring them. “I love [and] appreciate you both so much.”
What does Garcelle’s son, Oliver Saunders, do for a living?
According to his Instagram bio, he is a “father & entrepreneur.” He also has hosted the Bigger Than Us podcast. In fact, Oliver and Shantei spoke about their blended family in a July 2024 episode of the Bigger Than Us podcast
“I’ve heard horror stories on how it’s hard to blend a family and make sure everybody gets along and forcing children to live with other children and to like their stepparents,” Shantei said. “With us, it has been the most easiest experience I’ve ever, ever, ever dealt with. These children love you. I love OJ. You love my kids. It’s all perfect.”
Oliver then explained how Garcelle was a great example of how to date as a single parent. “She would never bring anybody around me that she was dating until it was completely serious,” he said. “And even if it was serious, she would say to me, ‘For any reason you do not like this person, you let me know. This will be the last time you see this person.’ And that made me feel so comfortable and so loved as a kid… the fact that she was going to put me first no matter what.”
He’s also worked for Lisa Vanderpump at her Las Vegas eatery, Vanderpump à Paris. In 2023, LVP opened up about what’s been like to have Oliver work for her. “He has been a blessing. It’s a win-win,” Lisa said at the time. “He’s a good guy. I love Oliver.”
Speaking of LVP, we have an update on where Garcelle and Lisa stand today.
