Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Cast Confirmed

Bravo fans, grab your passports and your reunion receipts — the next “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” lineup is officially here. Andy Cohen revealed the principal cast for the upcoming season of the event spinoff, which will help celebrate the 20th anniversary of Bravo’s Housewives franchise. And yes, the group is stacked.

The new season is set to air later this year, and the cast includes Lisa Barlow, Gizelle Bryant, Luann de Lesseps, Teresa Giudice, Vicki Gunvalson, Kyle Richards, and Porsha Williams. In other words: chaos, couture, and confessionals are locked in.

The open-road season brings together Housewives from across the Bravo universe — and the energy is already high. During the January 14 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Porsha teased what fans should expect from the milestone trip.

“Let me tell you,” Porsha said, “this is going to be the most iconic Ultimate Girls Trip ever.”

With Luann in the mix (Jovani truthers, rise), plus Teresa, Vicki, Kyle, Gizelle, and Lisa Barlow, Bravo viewers are already predicting that someone will be running away from a dinner table before the first itinerary email is even opened.

Andy Cohen Confirms NeNe Leakes Will Appear During Atlanta Stop
But that’s not the only update Andy dropped. Hours earlier, he confirmed that “Real Housewives of Atlanta” original NeNe Leakes will appear on the upcoming spinoff — even if she isn’t part of the full-time road crew.

“She’s gonna be making an appearance,” Andy said during the January 14 episode of SiriusXM’s “Radio Andy.” “When we go to Atlanta, she gon’ be there.”

Andy didn’t reveal more details about what NeNe’s screen time will look like, but he made it clear the appearance mattered — especially for the franchise anniversary.

“People are happy about it,” he continued. “We are going to be celebrating 20 years of Housewives, and it would be hard without her. So, I’m happy about it.”

NeNe Leakes Says She’s “Overjoyed” to Return to Bravo
NeNe, 58, reacted to the news in a January 14 Instagram video and didn’t hold back her excitement. She also made sure to thank fellow Housewives who helped keep her name in the conversation behind the scenes.

“I have to thank some of the Housewives that have continuously kept my name being said behind the scenes,” NeNe said, singling out Porsha and former castmate Phaedra Parks. “I appreciate you guys so much. Thank you so much. I’m really grateful for it.”

And in true NeNe fashion, she ended her message with one final mic drop.

“B–ches, I am back, okay?” she concluded. “Now pick your faces up off the floor.”
