Rachel Zoe is returning to Bravo as the newest member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ensemble
In a first look at BravoCon 2025, the celebrity stylist opens up about her split from ex-husband Rodger Berman
Season 15 premieres Thursday, Dec. 4 at 8 p.m. ET
Rachel Zoe marked her comeback to reality TV at BravoCon 2025 ahead of her debut on season 15 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — and shed light on the end of her marriage.
In a first look shared at the annual convention on Friday, Nov. 14, the celebrity stylist opens up to pal Kathy Hilton about her split from ex-husband Rodger Berman.
"I'm trying to look at him as a friend... I'm not there yet," she says in the candid conversation. The star also compared her relationship with Berman to The Notebook, noting they were "married 26 years, together for 33."
"We were together for 18 years before we had kids. I think after we had kids, I think it changes, at the end of the day," she adds. "I think we've outgrown each other... we became very different people."
The stylist-turned-media personality, 54, is returning to Bravo for the newest installment of RHOBH. Zoe joins Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John, Dorit Kemsley and fellow newcomer Amanda Frances on season 15. Zoe previously announced she will be joining the show via Instagram on June 6. “Here we go again @bravotv !!!✨ I am officially joining #TheRealHousewivesofBeverlyHills and back with my Bravo family. Let’s do this! 💎 #RHOBH," Zoe wrote at the time.

Rachel Zoe on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' season 15
In a video she posted alongside her announcement, Zoe said, "It's been a while and you've been asking me to come back to television, and I said when the stars align or it makes sense or I have enough to say to share with all of you, and now is the time. Really excited to be with all of you again and I hope you are too, so let's have some fun! Mwah!"
Prior to her RHOBH debut, Zoe was on the Bravo show The Rachel Zoe Project that aired from 2008 through 2013. The show, which ran for five seasons, followed her life as a celebrity stylist and designer.
Zoe’s addition to the Real Housewives franchise comes after Garcelle Beauvais announced she was exiting Beverly Hills following the conclusion of season 14. Beauvais said she was leaving to devote time to her sons and focus on new projects.

Speaking to PEOPLE exclusively at the Baby2Baby Gala on Nov. 8, Zoe said she loved filming the new season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “It was really nice [for] it not just be on me and about me and always me,” she said.
Zoe added, “And I'm so much more interested in other people's lives than I am my own, so that was really nice to kind of, I think, be with the other women all the time.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 will premiere Dec. 4 on Bravo, with episodes available to stream the next day on Peacock. BravoCon 2025 continues through Sunday, Nov. 16 at Las Vegas' Caesars Forum.
