Marysol Patton admits filming Peacock’s “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” Season 3 with bestie Alexia Echevarria put “pressure” on their friendship.
“We were the only girls that shared a room … It’s not [easy],” the “Real Housewives of Miami” star, 55, exclusively tells Page Six.
“It’s a lot of luggage, it’s a lot of cameras, it’s a lot of people, a lot of stimuli, getting ready, s—t everywhere,” Patton adds. “We were the only ones that shared a room so that just adds to the pressure of the whole thing.”
The former publicist notes that cameras captured her and Echevarria’s sibling-like dynamic during production, which took place this summer in Thailand.
“She’s like my sister and sisters bicker. We bicker off-camera, we bicker on-camera,” she says.

“But we love harder and laugh harder than anybody, so you know, we’re doing real life in front of the cameras, so you get to see a little real life of our everyday.”
Patton points out that she and Echevarria, also 55, are in a great place today despite any friction in Asia.
“We’re totally fine! We talk every day, like, 300 times a day,” she explains.

“And we laugh and we have deep conversations and we giggle and we argue and we laugh and we hang up and [say], ‘I love you, girl.’ And that’s it. That’s us.”
The next installment of “RHUGT” also stars Heather Gay and Whitney Rose of “Salt Lake City,” Candiace Dillard and Gizelle Bryant of “Potomac,” Leah McSweeney of “New York City” and Porsha Williams of “Atlanta” — each of whom Patton loved getting to know.
“I met some amazing women and I enjoyed all of them, independently. I really did,” she says.

“It was one of the best experiences I’ve had filming on television. I learned so much from all the ladies. Everybody’s show is so different, the characters are so different.”
When asked who she left Thailand feeling closest with — other than Echevarria — Patton mentions Bryant, 52, Williams, 41, and Gay, 40.
“I really enjoyed the time I spent with Gizelle and Porsha,” she says. “They’re very intelligent, very smart girls, a lot of fun.”
As for Gay, Patton — who is married to Steve McNamara — says she’s been tasked with finding the single “RHOSLC” star a “Cuban boyfriend” in Miami.
“Heather and I are compadres. She thinks she’s Cuban. I’m supposed to be setting her up with someone in Miami. She needs a Cuban boyfriend,” says the eager wingwoman.
“I still have to figure out who that’s going to be,” Patton continues. “But we dream about when she comes here and we have cockies and we set her up and she maybe gets a Cuban boyfriend.”
“The Real Housewives of Miami” is available to stream on Peacock. A premiere date for “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” Season 3 has yet to be announced.
