Los Angeles: Big Changes for Garcelle Beauvais!
The buzz around town is focused on Garcelle Beauvais, the sparkling star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” (RHOBH), who has announced her departure from the show after an incredible five seasons. It seems that Beauvais—who joined the franchise in Season 10, making history as the first Black woman ever to be part of the main cast—has decided it’s time for a new chapter.
Farewell Before the Finale
Only hours prior to the much-anticipated season finale, Garcelle shared her heartfelt announcement through a video on Instagram. The actress, who is 58 years young and proudly represents her Haitian-American roots, expressed a mix of emotions as she opened up about her decision. After reflecting on her time on the show, she characterized it as a wild ride, filled with both thrilling highs and challenging lows.
Family First
A major reason driving Beauvais’s exit is her desire to focus more on her family, especially her three sons. With one son entering his final year of high school, Garcelle wants to be there for significant milestones. She has twin sons, Jax and Jaid Nilon, and Jaid is stepping into a new career phase, giving her even more motivation to support him during this pivotal moment in his life.

She is eager to dive into some exciting projects that she’s been developing, both behind and in front of the camera. With a production company named Garcelle Productions already under her belt, fans can surely anticipate interesting things coming from this talented star.
Gratitude and Support
In her announcement, Beauvais took the time to thank everyone who has been part of her RHOBH journey: the producers, cast members, crew, and of course, her dedicated fans. The love and support she has received throughout her time on the reality series has clearly meant a lot to her, and she emphasized her hope to stay connected with fans, affirming it’s a “see you later” rather than a final goodbye.
Andy Cohen Keeps the Door Open
In the wake of her announcement, Andy Cohen, the beloved host of RHOBH, has expressed that the door is always open for Garcelle’s return. Fans will undoubtedly keep their fingers crossed for her return to the iconic Beverly Hills cast, as her charm and authenticity set her apart during her tenure.

Before joining RHOBH, Garcelle had made a name for herself in the entertainment industry with notable roles in popular shows. She’s known for her iconic performances in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “Coming to America,” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Beyond acting, she has also co-hosted the daytime talk show “The Real” and is even an accomplished author, having published a memoir titled “Love Me as I Am” in 2022.
The Next Chapter Awaits
As filming wrapped up for the Season 14 reunion on February 28, Garcelle appears ready to transition to this new phase of her career and personal life.
