Vicki Gunvalson can add matchmaker to her resume.

An insider told Page Six on Wednesday that the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star set up Kelly Dodd‘s soon-to-be-ex-husband, Michael, with one of her friends in early December — even though his new flame was once friends with Kelly as well.

Our insider told us Vicki, 55, and her pal took a trip to Las Vegas together, and Vicki “FaceTimed with her boyfriend Steve [Lodge]. He and Michael are really good friends and Michael was with him so they waved ‘hi.’ Michael said he was having a rough time, and the women said they felt awful.”

Vicki had a dinner party shortly after and invited both her friend and Dodd.

“They really hit it off because they both have awful exes,” the insider said.

Still, the insider said that Michael’s new girlfriend “doesn’t want to be dragged into Kelly’s mess” so she’s “being really careful” while “having fun.”

“Vicki’s scared too because she has to film with Kelly,” the insider said, noting that Michael’s new girlfriend doesn’t want to be on the show and already turned down the opportunity to be on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

“He’s not how he comes off on the show,” the insider added. “He’s a great dad. He’s trying to work on two startups but [Kelly is] trying to portray him as a househusband. He’s such a gentleman. He’s a brilliant guy.”

The couple has not gone public with their relationship yet, and the insider said that “Kelly has no idea” that Michael is dating again but Vicki told Bravo about Michael’s new relationship.

Kelly announced their marriage was over in September and filed documents to proceed with their 2012 divorce in December. Sources told us at the time that Michael was “giving her hell.”

A rep for Vicki couldn’t be reached.
