The Real Housewives of Miami just got a serious upgrade in the glam department. Enter Stephanie Shojaee, the luxury-loving, Birkin-toting beauty who’s already turning heads and raising eyebrows. While she’s still a fresh face to some Bravo fans, Stephanie is no stranger to the high life. And now she’s ready to claim her spot in Miami’s most elite circle of private planes and drama. Stephanie is making it clear she’s not here to blend in. So, who is this new housewife, and what can we expect from her on RHOM? Let’s break it all down.
Who is RHOM newbie Stephanie Shojaee?
If you haven’t heard of Stephanie yet, get ready to see a lot more of her. This Columbian-American powerhouse is married to real estate mogul Masoud Shojaee, the president and chairman of Shoma Group, a major development company in Florida. Stephanie was the company’s chief marketing officer before her promotion to President of Shoma Group. So yes, she’s beauty and business brains all wrapped in a designer wardrobe. And when we say luxury, we mean luxury. Stephanie’s Instagram is a curated feed of Lamborghinis, private jets, and more Hermès than a Paris boutique. She’s practically allergic to anything less than full-glam, and she doesn’t apologize for it. In fact, she thrives in it.
Stephanie’s entrance into the Real Housewives of Miami universe isn’t exactly random. She’s been spotted on the Miami social scene for years and has rubbed shoulders with several RHOM ladies long before cameras started rolling. It was only a matter of time before Bravo caught wind of her sparkle. Stephanie has only just made her Bravo debut, but I like her. She’s poised, polished, and unafraid to speak her mind. A trifecta of traits that make her a natural fit for the franchise. Let’s just say if RHOM is looking for its next queen bee, Stephanie’s got her eyes on the crown.
Why does Stephanie Shojaee want to remain child-free?
One of the most talked-about aspects of Stephanie’s personal life is her decision to remain child-free. It’s a choice that’s still seen as unconventional by some, especially in the Housewives universe, where the baby talk and mommy wars are practically a rite of passage. But the 40-year-old is making her stance clear on the latest Real Housewives of Miami episode. On the July 2 episode, she famously joked, “Birkins and boogers don’t go together.” Stephanie has been open about her stance, stating that she and her husband are content with their current lifestyle. The real estate mogul added, “I knew at a very young age that I wanted to be filthy rich.”
And can I just say? It’s refreshing. In a franchise where women are often boxed into traditional roles, Stephanie’s choice offers a different perspective. One that resonates with a growing number of women who are redefining what success and fulfillment look like. Stephanie did admit she considered motherhood at one point. She told cameras, “Along the way, I did have moments where I thought, ‘Hey maybe you will want kids, maybe you should freeze your eggs.’ And then I looked at my calendar and I don’t even have time to go to the doctor to freeze my eggs. I don’t really have time to go pee.”
Stephanie Shojaee knows what she wants
Of course, not everyone’s applauding from the sidelines. Real Housewives of Miami fans are known for having opinions, and some have already taken to social media to question her motives or speculate on whether she’ll change her mind. But if Stephanie’s social media presence is any indication, she’s not losing sleep over the chatter. She’s too busy living her best life in Dubai or hosting lavish parties in Coral Gables.
And when it came to her marriage to Masoud, she is making it clear she isn’t a gold digger. She told the cameras, “Age difference was a really big deal for me.” She explained, “I did not want to be seen with an older gentleman because of the misconception of people thinking that you are with an older guy, you are probably a gold digger. And then I met Masoud, and everything changed.” With Stephanie joining the cast, the stage could be set for some real conversations on the show. Can you imagine a dinner party where motherhood choices become the topic of heated discussion? Buckle up.
The Real Housewives of Miami is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
