What can viewers expect when The Real Housewives of New York City returns with season four on April 7? This preview offers an overall tease. But let’s get more specific: over at least the first two episodes, we’ll meet Brian Farrell, a 42-year old artist who grew up in Long Island and is dating cast member Sonja Morgan. According to his Facebook page, Farrell grew up with an alcoholic and physically abusive father. He subsequently battled depression and even attempted suicide on more than one occasion. “Today, I am no longer drinking or take any medications,” he writes on that social networking page. “I enjoy a healthy life of yoga, surfing, sleep and diet.” No word on whether or not Farrell is still dating Morgan, but she gushes about him on the premiere: “We have all these hedge-fund banker friends together. I get my financing from them and they buy his paintings… He comes in these tight white T-shirts with the jeans hanging low.”
