Amid news of a separation constantly covered in the press, many Bravo fans have been wondering if Kyle Richards, an OG of Beverly Hills, will return for another season of the Bravo reality series.
Wonder no more, because franchise executive producer Andy Cohen confirmed on Jenna & Friends that Richards will return for Season 15.
"Kyle is coming back. I don't know if I'm supposed to announce that, but she is," Cohen said, after Jenna Bush Hager asked.
In recent seasons, Richards has been open about her separation from longtime husband Mauricio Umansky.
She has also struggled emotionally on camera at times, so much so that she questioned leaving "RHOBH" and took a break from filming during Season 14, which she talked about with The Hollywood Reporter in January.
"I was at a point where I was so depressed, frankly. I’m not someone who gets depressed," she said. "I’ve had anxiety my entire life but never depression, and I really felt like I was struggling with depression and I expressed that."
She said she had never taken a break like that from filming before, and the show's production respected her decision.
"I took that time until I felt strong again and gathered my thoughts at what I wanted to do," she said.
When Richards returns for the next season, so will a new face that's already familiar to Bravo fans.
Jenna and Cohen, her guest co-host for the June 13 show, also discussed a new addition to the "RHOBH" cast in the upcoming season: fashion designer Rachel Zoe.
Cohen referenced the early days of Zoe's career on Bravo with her fashion reality series, "The Rachel Zoe Project," which ran for five seasons.
"She was so iconic in those years," Cohen said.
He added the great thing about Zoe joining the cast is she "legitimately knows" cast members like Bozoma Saint John and Sutton Stracke, and frequent friends of the show Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly.
"So, she's going to fit right in perfectly," Cohen said.
On June 6, Zoe confirmed the news of her casting in a joint Instagram post with Bravo.
"Here we go again @bravotv !!!✨ I am officially joining #TheRealHousewivesofBeverlyHills and back with my Bravo family. Let’s do this! 💎 #RHOBH," she wrote.
"So excited you’re joining the gang!!! I love you!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️," Hilton wrote in the comments.
"Great news!!!!! 😽😽😽 💥," Stracke commented.
The cast will be without "Housewife" Garcelle Beauvais, who joined in Season 10 and announced in March she would not be returning.
In addition to Richards, Stracke, and Saint John, the Season 14 cast included Erika Jayne and Dorit Kemsley.
