Beverly Hills, CA — Rachel Zoe has confirmed her return to Bravo’s hit reality series, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, for its highly anticipated 15th season. The news was unveiled through an engaging Instagram video where she expressed her excitement to return to the small screen after several years away from reality television.
The announcement comes as Zoe navigates a significant personal transition, having recently finalized her divorce from long-time husband Rodger Berman after 26 years of marriage. The fashion designer and entrepreneur shared that she learned about her casting while attending her son Skyler’s middle school graduation, calling the moment surreal and emotional.
With her sons, Skyler and Kaius, now aged 14 and 11 respectively, Zoe has been contemplating a return to the reality television landscape for nearly a decade. She indicated that her decision was carefully considered and dependent on her feeling ready to share meaningful stories from her life.
Zoe’s past television experience includes starring in The Rachel Zoe Project, which aired from 2008 to 2013, showcasing her work in the fashion industry. The influence she had during that time is reflected in the many stylists who report being inspired by her during her original series. Zoe is committed to connecting with viewers through her relatable and authentic life experiences, all while navigating the glamorous aspects that come with her career.
She emphasized how her experiences have shaped her resilience against fast-paced digital criticism, a challenge that has heightened since her last reality project. In her upcoming role on RHOBH, filming has felt particularly organic to her, as she approaches the experience by pretending the cameras are not there, allowing for genuine interactions to unfold.
During her time on the show, Zoe plans to maintain her spontaneous fashion approach, curating outfits from her extensive wardrobe archives without excessive planning. This authenticity is essential to her brand and strategy as a returning cast member.
Alongside familiar faces like Kathy Hilton, Zoe looks forward to filming with new acquaintances, including Bozoma Saint John, adding a fresh dynamic to the show. Andy Cohen, the host of Watch What Happens Live, has noted the excitement surrounding Zoe’s return and observed how her life has evolved since the days of her earlier show. He pointed out that Zoe is currently dating and brings a different perspective to the table than before.
Prior to her return, Zoe engaged in discussions with Cohen to ensure she felt prepared for the unique environment of a reality show, reflecting her commitment to approaching this next chapter with clarity and intention.
As fans await the new season, Zoe’s re-entry into the world of reality television is positioned to be a captivating blend of emotional depth and engaging storytelling, promising to shine a light on her journey through personal and professional growth.
