Early Life & Background

Ramona Singer was born on 18 November 1956, in Rhinebeck, New York, to parents Bohdan and Veronika Mazur, as the oldest of four children. She is of Ukrainian and Hungarian descent, through her father and mother, respectively.

Singer studied marketing at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she was the first female graduate from the four-year honors program. The fashion education shaped the career that followed: after graduating, she took part in a traineeship program at Macy’s and later became a buyer for the department store chain, before working in sales management for the fashion companies Calvin Klein and French Connection.

Career

In 1986, Singer started her own wholesale clothing business, RMS Fashions, Inc. Together with her former husband Mario Singer, she founded a jewelry company named True Faith Jewelry in 2005. Between 2009 and 2010, Singer sold two jewelry collections on HSN. In 2010, she also launched the skincare line Tru Renewal, which she relaunched as Ageless by Ramona in 2018. In 2011, Singer launched her pinot grigio wine, called Ramona Pinot Grigio, and in 2012 she announced a red wine partnership with Opicio Wines, Ramona Red: Sangiovese Merlot Blend.

Singer joined as a cast member on the first season of Bravo’s television show The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY) in 2008. She remained on the show for thirteen seasons, becoming one of the franchise’s most recognizable faces. Her thirteenth season, which aired in 2021, drew the lowest ratings in the show’s history, and in 2022 Bravo announced it would reboot RHONY with an entirely new cast, while simultaneously greenlighting a separate series featuring some of the original cast.

Singer’s memoir, Life on the Ramona Coaster, was published in 2015 by Post Hill Press. She starred in the first season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, a spin-off featuring various women from The Real Housewives franchise, that premiered on Peacock in November 2021, and she starred on the fourth season, RHONY Legacy, which was released in December 2023.

In 2021, Singer also completed her real estate license and joined the Douglas Elliman real estate firm in New York City. In 2023, she was abruptly fired due to allegations made against her in a Vanity Fair article that she had made racist remarks during the filming of season 13 of RHONY, though Singer was ultimately cleared of wrongdoing by Bravo.

In February 2026, Singer was announced as a cast member in the upcoming E! reality television series The Golden Life. The series will follow Singer as well as former Real Housewives alumni Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Kelly Bensimon, and Dorinda Medley uniting in Palm Beach, Florida.
