"Adrienne Maloof&amp;#039;s split from husband Dr Paul Nassif earlier this month was apparently not a surprise to those who knew the pair.  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars announced their separation on Monday (July 30) after ten years of marriage.  According to People, friends of Maloof and Nassif expected them to separate as they had not been getting along for a long time. &amp;quot;Adrienne is a really fierce momma bear. The tension in the house was something that [the] kids didn&amp;#039;t need to hear. The split is the best thing for everyone,&amp;quot; a source told the publication.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not a surprise at all. They&amp;#039;ve been on the cusp of splitting for a long time. The show was the killer. It was the straw that broke the camel&amp;#039;s back.&amp;quot;  The insider went on to claim that the couple had become &amp;quot;competitive&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;[Paul] was into the fame of it. He was the one who encouraged her to do Real Housewives. &amp;quot;[They] went head to head all the time. Adrienne then became the Housewife with the storyline, and he was just the husband.&amp;quot; Maloof was recently evacuated from her home when a nearby residence caught fire.
