Alarmed RHOC fans began to speculate the longtime pair had broken up after she unfollowed her man on Instagram.
Although there are reports that the retired police officer also no longer follows Vicki, 58, he appeared to still be following her as of Monday.
However, the duo - who typically often document their love on social media - have not appeared together in five weeks.
As the breakup rumors ran rampant, she assured fans she was definitely still with the 61-year-old.

“I have no fricking idea where this came from. Someone bored trying to stir up crap,” she told UsWeekly.
After fans put the social media activity together, rumors began to run rampant that they were no longer an item.
“Vicki and Steve broke up,” someone said while another responded “I believe it.”
“If Steve & Vicki are truly off I want her to come back with Tamrat next season. Thicci is back,” a fan tweeted - referencing fellow fired RHOC alum, Tamra Judge.

“I am NOT surprised at all.. he was not the right guy 4 her and I truly believe her getting engaged was a last attempt at staying on RHOC.

Just two months ago, Vicki confirmed that her upcoming nuptials to the ex law enforcement officer was still happening.
“So when is the wedding? Are you guys still together?” One Instagram user commented.
She replied in August: “Yes we are still together. Most likely we won’t have a formal wedding. This is not a good year to be planning anything.”
