Meredith Marks (née Rosenberg; born December 15, 1971) is an American TV personality recognized primarily for being an original cast member on Bravo's reality show The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, where she has appeared since 2020.
Early life
Raised in Chicago's prestigious Gold Coast area, Marks completed her education at the Latin School of Chicago and Loyola University Chicago. She holds degrees in law and business from Northwestern University, although she never pursued a career in the legal field.
Career
Following her postgraduate studies, Marks established a Pilates studio that eventually expanded into a full-service health club, which she later sold to focus on jewelry design after training at the Gemological Institute of America. In 2009, during the economic downturn known as the Great Recession, she launched her own jewelry line and inaugurated a retail store in Park City, Utah.
Marks became part of the cast of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City after a production associate who was a friend invited her; initially, she thought her involvement would be limited to consulting. Prior to joining the series, she had not viewed any installments of the franchise. In 2023, Marks also made guest appearances on The Real Housewives of New York City. She secured representation with CAA in February 2024.
In 2023, Marks diversified her entrepreneurial ventures by introducing Meredith Marks Caviar and co-hosting the podcast Hanging by a Thread alongside her husband. Additionally, she has twice participated on the host committee for the GLAAD Awards.
Personal life
Marks identifies as Jewish and takes pride in her cultural background, though she does not practice religion devoutly. She marked her bat mitzvah in 2024.
She wed Seth Marks in 1996, and they have three children: Reid, Brooks, and Chloe. The family moved to Utah in 2013 when Seth accepted a role at Overstock.com based in Salt Lake City. Although he filed for divorce in August 2019, the case was dismissed four months afterward.
Her father succumbed to Alzheimer's disease in February 2021.
