Julie Gentry’s husband supports her comeback in a very sweet manner
We didn’t see actress Julie Gentry after her appearance on The Real World season one when she was aged 19 in 1992. Now she’s returning to the New York City loft and televisions around the world for six episodes of The Real World Homecoming: New York show. It gets on air on Paramount +. But this comeback wasn’t easy neither for her nor her family.
The aspiring dancer got hitched with a restaurant owner Joshua Gentry in 1998. She now has two kids, a daughter, 17, and a son, 19.
In January 2021, she traveled to New York for a week’s time to move back in with former roommates Heather B. Gardner, Eric Nies, Kevin Powell, Andre Comeau, Norman Korpi, and Rebecca Blasband and have their lives taped.
“My husband has really just been so supportive and so great,” Julie tells PEOPLE of her return to reality TV. “He got me a case of all these cool, different champagnes and sparkling wines and said, ‘This way, every Thursday, you can celebrate. You don’t know what each episode is going to look like, but just let it be a celebration.”
So, every morning after sending their daughter to school they watched the new episodes together continuously for six weeks.
“He gets really nervous,” Julie says. “He says, ‘I feel so vulnerable to how you’re going to come off and what’s going to happen.’ He’s just really sweet and really supportive. And then we pop that champagne!”
