Rachel Zoe is trading styling celebs for stirring the pot.
The renowned fashion designer and former Bravo star made the official announcement on Instagram that she will be joining Season 15 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, on Friday (June 6).
“Here we go again @bravotv!!! I am officially joining #TheRealHousewivesofBeverlyHills and back with my Bravo family. Let’s do this! 💎 #RHOBH,” Zoe wrote in the caption of her post.
She expressed her enthusiasm in an accompanying video, informing her fans, “It’s been a while and you’ve been asking me to come back to television, and I said when the stars align or it makes sense or I have enough to say to share with all of you, and now is the time. Really excited to be with all of you again and I hope you are too, so let’s have some fun! Mwah!”
Zoe, 53, isnât new to reality TV. She first made waves on Bravo with The Rachel Zoe Project, which ran from 2008 to 2013 and followed her high-glam life as a celebrity stylist. Since then, sheâs continued to influence the fashion world through her lifestyle brand and newsletter, The Zoe Report, which launched in 2009.
Even White Lotus fans might recognize her influence. Back in March, actress Leslie Bibb revealed that she used Zoe as inspiration for one of her characters. âDidn’t Bravo have The Rachel Zoe Project?â Bibb asked on Andy Cohen Live. âI based one character totally on some part of Rachel Zoe, like that world.â
Zoe’s return to Bravo comes at a time of personal transformation. In 2024, she and longtime husband Rodger Berman â with whom she shares sons Skyler, 13, and Kaius, 10 â announced their separation.
âAfter 33 years together and 26 years married, Rodger and I have come to the mutual decision to end our marriage,â the pair shared in a joint Instagram statement last September. âWe are incredibly proud of the loving family we have created and our countless memories together.â
They added, âOur number one priority has been and will always be our children. We are committed to co-parent our boys and to continue to work together within the many businesses we share.â
Zoeâs casting fills a major vacancy left by Garcelle Beauvais, who exited the franchise earlier this year after five seasons. Beauvais said her decision was rooted in family and future career plans.
âOne of the reasons why Iâm leaving is my family, my boys. Their last year of high school is next year and I want to be a part of that,â she said. âAnd secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in â I canât tell you anything now but youâll know soon.â
Season 14 also featured Kyle Richards, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John, plus recurring appearances by Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly â though Bravo has yet to confirm whoâs coming back for Season 15.
New drama, new diamonds, and the return of a Bravo legend? Rachel Zoeâs RHOBH era is officially happening.
