NEED TO KNOW
Rachel Zoe is coming back to reality television – and this time she’s joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Zoe, 53, confirmed on Friday, June 6 that she’s joining the season 15 cast of RHOBH in an announcement on Instagram. A rep for Bravo also confirmed to PEOPLE that Zoe is joining the cast of RHOBH.
“Here we go again @bravotv !!!✨ I am officially joining #TheRealHousewivesofBeverlyHills and back with my Bravo family. Let’s do this! 💎 #RHOBH,” Zoe wrote on Instagram.
In a video alongside her announcement, Zoe said: “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!”
The designer first rose to fame on another Bravo show, The Rachel Zoe Project, which aired from 2008 to 2013 and chronicled her life as a celebrity stylist and designer.
Since the show’s conclusion, Zoe has remained active in the fashion and lifestyle space, in part through her newsletter The Zoe Report, which launched in 2009.

On March 20, Leslie Bibb even revealed that she based elements of her White Lotus character on Zoe.
On SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, the actress, 51, said, “Didn’t Bravo have The Rachel Zoe Project?” she asked host Andy Cohen. “I based one character totally on some part of Rachel Zoe, like that world.”
Much has changed in Zoe’s personal life since her first Bravo run. In 2024, she separated from her husband Rodger Berman, whom she shares sons Skyler, 13, and Kaius, 10 with.
On Sept. 4, 2024, the former couple issued a joint statement regarding the end of their marriage via Instagram. “After 33 years together and 26 years married, Rodger and I have come to the mutual decision to end our marriage,” the announcement began. “We are incredibly proud of the loving family we have created and our countless memories together.”
“Our 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,” they wrote, before asking for privacy “as we navigate this new chapter.”
News of Zoe’s casting comes after Garcelle Beauvais exited the series in March following the conclusion of season 14. At the time, Beauvais, who had been on the show for five seasons, said she was leaving so she could devote time to her sons and focus on new projects.

“One of the reasons why I’m leaving is my family, my boys. Their last year of high school is next year and I want to be a part of that. And Jade is starting a new career and I want to be a part of that, too. And secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in — I can’t tell you anything now but you’ll know soon,” she said.
In addition to Beauvais, season 14 also starred Kyle Richards, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke and Bozoma Saint John, as well as Friends Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly. Their return for season 15 has not yet been confirmed by Bravo.
