Rumors are swirling about Heather Dubrow’s status on The Real Housewives of Orange County. She and her husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, just dumped a bunch of fuel on that fire with their New Year’s posts on social media. Are they just being cheeky by playing into the rumors, or are they trying to clue us in on what’s to come in 2026?
Could Heather Dubrow finally move from RHOC to RHOBH?
For years, we’ve heard stories about how Heather could be leaving RHOC for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The rumor has been floating around for so long that the ladies even asked her about it during that botched lie detector scene in Season 19.
The rumblings about Heather’s placement on RHOC intensified during the final days of 2025, when Mercedes “MJ” Javid went on a radio show and said that she heard Vicki Gunvalson would be replacing Heather ahead of Season 20. Meanwhile, MJ’s co-star, Reza Farahan, added that he heard she would finally be picking up a diamond on RHOBH.
Like clockwork, Heather followed up with an Instagram post on New Year’s Eve, seemingly hinting at her RHOBH future. She wrote, “Excited for what the new year may bring,” along with three diamond emojis.
In the comments, Terry replied, “Diamonds are forever.”
That definitely sounds like a little bit of a hint, right? Then, Alex Baskin, who produces both RHOC and RHOBH, jumped in the comments to reply to Terry’s comment. We’re not sure if he’s trying to throw off their scent or just add more chaos to the conversation. Either way, it worked.
Alex wrote, “And oranges are v nutritious and delicious.”
So, are they just messing around with the Housewives fans, or are they soft-launching Heather’s debut on RHOBH? We’re not sure, but we’re looking forward to seeing what 2026 brings.
The Real Housewives of Orange County is streaming on Peacock.
