Meredith Marks and her kids have been mainstays of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City since season 1.
The jewelry designer and her husband, Seth Marks, got married in 1996. The pair welcomed their first child together, son Reid, the next year in January 1997. Their second son, Brooks, was born in July 1999, followed by their youngest child and only daughter, Chloe, in July 2001.
Over the years, Brooks and Chloe have become regular fixtures on RHOSLC -- which comes with some downsides. On The Viall Files podcast, Meredith shared that the "trolling" was particularly difficult to deal with when it came to her children. "My whole family has grown to have thicker skin and we've just grown a lot closer," she said. "You recognize how important family is."
Here's everything to know about Meredith Marks' three children: Reid, Brooks and Chloe.
Meredith and Seth welcomed their first son Reid Marks on Jan. 20, 1997.
Reid was born and raised in Chicago. When he was in elementary school, his mom made a major life change after a traumatic experience. "I dropped him off at school and was walking home at 9 in the morning on what is seemingly a very, very safe street in Chicago," she told Page Six in 2021. "And I was aggressively mugged, dragged across the street."
She was working in real estate development and owned a Pilates studio at the time, but decided to quit her day jobs after the incident, instead prioritizing being a mom. "I was like, 'Wait a second, what am I doing here?' " she recalled. "I had three young children and I was like, 'What am I doing? I'm so checked out of my family.' "
The family moved to Utah when Reid was a teen when Seth took an executive job at Overstock.com. After graduating Park City High School, Reid attended the University of Michigan, where he majored in economics and finance.
Reid then went into real estate and investment banking before starting a company of his own, according to his LinkedIn. He's now the co-founder and CEO of Havenly Ventures, a real estate investment firm that focuses on acquiring, renovating and managing student housing properties.
In a 2020 interview with the Chicago Tribune, Meredith explained that due to Reid's busy schedule, he won't be a major fixture on the show. "My oldest son is working in New York and working crazy hours, so you probably will not see much of him at all," she said.
Meredith and Seth's younger son, Brooks Marks, was born on July 28, 1999.
Brooks has made numerous appearances on RHOSLC since season 1, when he decided to take a semester off from college to stay home and help his mom as she went through her separation.
"It's so heartwarming to know that people are supportive of me," Brooks told Page Six in 2020. "I mean, I came home to support my mom during her separation and work on developing my brand further... So I'm incredibly grateful."
That same year, he debuted his own eponymous clothing line, Brooks Marks. He "always had an interest in fashion" and was inspired by his mom, he told Page Six.
"I remember when I first started my brand, my mom always told me to keep it authentic and true to myself in order for it to be successful," he said. "She's been so incredibly supportive. I mean, I call her probably 25 times a day with a million business questions, and somehow she'll always answer my call and knows the answer to exactly what I need."
In 2022, Brooks graduated from New York University. Along with running his clothing brand, Brooks is also a model -- in 2023, he signed with Ford Models.
In 2025, he was featured in Teen Vogue, with Meredith posting a sweet Instagram to celebrate.
"Beyond proud, always! Watching you model since you were 7 has been such a gift. You amaze me every day," she wrote alongside a carousel of photos of him.
In 2025, Brooks took a leading role on television in Bravo's Next Gen NYC, which premiered on June 3. The reality series -- which follows a group of 20-somethings navigating adulthood -- is focused on the children of various Bravo stars, including Kim Zolciak-Biermann's daughter Ariana Biermann, Teresa Giudice's daughter Gia Giudice and Kandi Burruss' daughter Riley Burruss.
Meredith and Seth welcomed their youngest child and only daughter, Chloe Marks, on July 14, 2001.
Chloe was initially hesitant to appear on RHOSLC, since she hadn't quite figured out her career path during season 1 filming.
"I live a way quieter life than you," she told Brooks during a 2022 interview on In The Know. "Reality TV is great and it's amazing, but there's a lot of industries in the world that don't necessarily want to hire somebody who's on reality TV."
In 2023, Chloe graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a bachelor's degree in business. Meredith shared the news with a congratulatory post on Instagram.
"Congratulations to my sweet baby Chloe on her college graduation! I cannot believe how quickly you have grown up!! I am so proud of you and all that you have accomplished and I can't wait to see what is coming next," she wrote. "I love you so much."
After graduating, she moved to New York where she took a fashion internship with Fendi. According to her LinkedIn, Chloe is now working as the director of business development for Meredith Marks, her mom's eponymous jewelry line.
Chloe is now more comfortable on-screen, appearing alongside her brother in Next Gen NYC.
