Life may have changed a lot for Rachel Zoe, but she is trying to keep things positive. She opened up about how she felt about joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and how it felt to return to reality TV 12 years after the end of her first Bravo series.
Rachel was announced as the newest cast member last June. She seemed like a great fit for RHOBH. And while fans were still sad to see Garcelle Beavais exit the series, they were excited to see Rachel step back into the spotlight.
Rachel Zoe would “have to kill you” if she spilled too many RHOBH Season 15 details
“I loved being in an ensemble,” Rachel told PEOPLE about how RHOBH differed from The Rachel Zoe Project. “It was really nice for it not to just be on me and about me and always me. I’m so much more interested in other people’s lives than I am my own, so that was really nice to kind of be with the other women all the time.”
She said that having people to lean on was also nice. “And listen, we’re all going through stuff. So I think it’s nice that we kind of had each other to do that with,” she shared. Honestly, the newly dropped RHOBH trailer looks a bit different than women supporting one another but we’ll have to wait and see.
Plus, the life Rachel is living now is very different from her life back during her first show in 2008.
“I have full-blown children now and obviously I’m getting divorced, so that’s a whole ‘nother thing,” she revealed. Rachel filed for divorce from Rodger Berman in July, following 26 years of marriage. They have two sons together.
“Life is life-ing really hard on all sides right now, so I just have a lot,” she admitted. “I just have to stay positive because if I break, everything breaks. So there’s no breaking.” And she’s not wrong about the other Housewives going through things too. Kyle Richards is navigating life separated from Mauricio Umansky, while PK Kemsley and Dorit Kemsley are facing their own divorce struggles.
As for what fans will be seeing when RHOBH returns in December, Rachel is keeping mum about that! “I’d have to kill you if I told you, but I can’t tell you anything,” she said. “We had fun. I think it’ll be interesting.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15 premieres Thursday, December 4 at 8/7c on Bravo. Episodes stream next-day on Peacock.
