Heather Dubrow is setting the record straight on what her Beverly Hills penthouse is really used for.
“It’s my closet, my shower, my office. I have a little podcast studio, but we don’t sleep up there,” Heather, 56, exclusively shared with Us Weekly as iHeartPodcasts celebrated their fall shows on Wednesday, September 10. “But if we want privacy, we would go up there. That was my point. It’s not, like, a sex room. Please. Stop it!”
During an August episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, viewers received an inside look at Heather and Dr. Terry Dubrow’s properties in Los Angeles.
“We have another apartment downstairs in our building so it’s where everyone has dinner together,” Heather explained in a confessional interview. “It’s where we movie television together. It’s like our family house. The penthouse is more for — quite frankly — sexy time.”
While the comment grabbed the attention of some viewers, Heather was quick to clarify it’s not as juicy as it may sound.

“When we bought that penthouse — it’s a two-bedroom apartment — and we bought it for the two of us for some day,” Heather explained to Us. “Then 10 days into escrow, Josh Altman cold called me, ‘I have someone who wants to grab your [Orange County] house.’ We sold it and moved out in three weeks. We probably never would have bought a two-bedroom apartment — no matter how fabulous it was — knowing we were about to sell our home.”
The cohost of iHeartRadio’s “Between Us” podcast went on to paint a clearer picture of what her Beverly Hills apartment truly looks like. According to Heather, one floor has four bedrooms while another level has two bedrooms.
“We sleep downstairs with our youngest child, Ace, who’s 14, and then Max and Kat have bedrooms down there too. And Nicky goes to school in Los Angeles so he’s got a house with his buddies in LA, so he sort of has the guest room upstairs. So we use that apartment.”

These days, Heather has a full calendar as season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County continues airing Thursdays on Bravo.
In addition to the show, Heather and Terry, 66, are working together on their “Between Us” podcast with iHeartRadio.
In just a few weeks, the couple has discussed everything from The Biggest Loser’s Netflix docuseries to their real estate “fails.”
While Heather and Terry find the platform a great way to connect with fans about their lives, they also want to provide some teachable moments.
“We said, ‘Let’s do a new podcast together, and let’s keep this learning thing going. Let’s tell a bit about our lives and our family dynamics,’” she explained. “We are constantly being asked, ‘What supplements do you take? What workouts do you do? Have you had plastic surgery? How do you feel about this and that happened? How do you parent your children?’ So we thought, OK, this is kind of cool. Maybe we can do this podcast and learn along with the audience, and maybe teach a little too.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. Stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.
