The diamonds are getting polished and the drama is about to double.
In a move that’s already sending shockwaves through the Real Housewives fandom, Kyle Richards has officially announced that two new housewives will be joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) in the upcoming season. And if you thought the past seasons were dramatic — brace yourself. According to Kyle, this season will be "like nothing we've ever filmed before."
The Beverly Hills Shake-Up
During a surprise appearance on Bravo’s late-night segment Watch What Happens Live, Kyle Richards teased the upcoming cast changes with a mischievous smile.
"Let’s just say… Beverly Hills is about to get a whole lot more unpredictable. We’ve added two women who don’t just bring style — they bring secrets, stories, and strong opinions," she said.
Of course, fans immediately began speculating. Would it be a former housewife returning? A celebrity crossover? Someone from the elite socialite world of LA?
The producers kept things under wraps — until now.
The New Energy
According to inside sources, the two new housewives were handpicked to bring "fresh energy and real-life complexity" to the show. They reportedly have strong ties to the entertainment industry, a flair for drama, and — most importantly — aren't afraid to stand up to the Beverly Hills OGs.
A source close to production revealed:
“Kyle was instrumental in advocating for these two additions. She wanted women who could really challenge the status quo — and trust me, they will.”
So Who Are They?
After weeks of speculation and cryptic social media clues, Kyle Richards finally dropped the bomb during a private Bravo media event in Los Angeles.
The two newest housewives joining RHOBH are...
🥁 Hilaria Baldwin and Shiva Safai.
Yes, you read that right.
Hilaria Baldwin: From Headlines to Housewives
Hilaria Baldwin, yoga instructor, entrepreneur, and wife of actor Alec Baldwin, is no stranger to the spotlight — or controversy. After a whirlwind couple of years navigating public scrutiny over her heritage claims and managing a high-profile family life with seven children, Hilaria is stepping into the RHOBH universe with what insiders say is “fearless authenticity.”
"I’ve lived my life in the public eye, but now you’ll see a side of me you’ve never seen before," Hilaria reportedly told Bravo producers. "I’m ready to tell my truth — and no, I won’t be holding back."
Shiva Safai: The Return of Elegance and Edge
Shiva Safai, known for her previous appearances on Second Wives Club and her high-profile relationship with real estate mogul Mohamed Hadid, brings both elegance and resilience. A fan-favorite in past Bravo circles, Shiva’s return to reality TV is expected to stir the pot — especially with her strong opinions and connections across the Beverly Hills elite.
"Shiva doesn’t do drama for the cameras — but she’s not afraid to speak her mind when the time comes," one insider shared.
What’s Next for RHOBH?
With Kyle Richards still standing as the show’s anchor and the addition of Hilaria and Shiva, the new season is rumored to be one of the most emotionally charged and conflict-heavy yet. Early teasers hint at major friendship fractures, family revelations, and one cast member storming off set mid-season.
The upcoming season is set to premiere early next year — and fans are already counting down.
One Thing's Certain: Beverly Hills Will Never Be the Same Again.
