Rachel Zoe is joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for its upcoming 15th season.
On the heels of Garcelle Beauvais’ exit and amid swirling rumors of potential cast shakeups, the 53-year-old stylist and designer confirmed on Friday that she will be appearing on the upcoming episodes in a full-time role on her Instagram page, along with a photo captioned, “The rumors are true…”
“Here we go again [Bravo]!!! I am officially joining [RHOBH] and back with my Bravo family. Let’s do this!” Rachel announced with a June 6 post, also including a diamond emoji.
Then, in an accompanying video, Rachel shared an additional message with her fans and followers.
“It’s official. I am coming back to Bravo. I am joining the cast of [RHOBH],” she stated. “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. I’m really excited to be with all of you again, and I hope you are, too. So let’s have some fun.”
Rachel also confirmed her addition to the show with a statement to Us Weekly.
“I am beyond excited to be returning home to Bravo to join the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!” Rachel revealed. “I’ve been living my best, new life, and it felt like the perfect time to come back to TV and share it all with you. Here we go … RZ 2.0!”
Rachel, who previously starred on The Rachel Zoe Project, which aired on Bravo from 2008 to 2013, announced her separation from husband Rodger Berman, 56, in September 2024. The couple, who had been married for 26 years, share two sons, Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 11.
One month after the split, Rachel told Us Weekly she was leaning on girlfriends to help her cope.
“Truthfully, if nothing else that I’ve realized is [that] I have the absolute greatest friends in the entire world. I really do. And a lot of them,” she said at the time. “I feel very blessed and very grateful for that. Every single day, I wake up with my heart full.”
Just last week, also speaking to the outlet, Rachel said, “We’ll see,” when asked if she would consider returning to reality television.
“I think if the right opportunity comes along and the stars align and it all makes sense and I have a lot to say, then maybe,” she teased.
As for the rest of the cast, it is believed that everyone from season 14, aside from Garcelle, 58, would be back. That lineup includes full-time cast members Kyle Richards, 56, Erika Jayne, 53, Dorit Kemsley, 48, Sutton Stracke, 53, and Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 48, and “friends” Kathy Hilton, 66, and Jennifer Tilly, 66.
In fact, on Friday, Erika seemingly confirmed her return with a photo of herself glammed up in a white robe.
“Year 10 begins today,” Erika, who joined the show in 2015 for season six, wrote in her caption.
Following the news of Rachel’s addition to the cast, a number of Bravo stars weighed in.
“WELCOME BACK! Let’s do this,” Bravo announced as Rachel responded with a kissing emoji.
“Wooohooooo!!! Can’t wait!!!” said Boz, appearing to confirm her role on the upcoming season as Rachel wrote back with heart emoji.
“Congratulations!!!!!! LOVE THIS!!!!!” added Heather Dubrow, 56, who has been rumored to be joining the cast in the past.
No word yet on when filming will begin on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15.
