Bravo Confirms RHONY Season 16 Cast — Cocktailers Already Knew!

Bravo has officially confirmed the “Real Housewives of New York City” season 16 cast — but let’s be honest, Cocktailers were already ahead of the curve.

On March 2, the network announced that Carole Radziwill is returning to “RHONY” in a friend-of role. Carole, 62, previously appeared on seasons five through 10 before exiting the franchise. Now, she’s back — and Bravo made it clear the comeback is all about loyalty.

“In the marathon of life, loyalty is everything. And because of Bravo fans’ loyalty, Carole Radziwill is returning to #RHONY as a friend-of for Season 16!!!” the network shared.

Returning RHONY Housewives Confirmed

Along with Carole’s return, Bravo confirmed that Sai De Silva, Erin Lichy, and Jessel Taank will all be back for season 16. The trio carried over from season 15 and will anchor the new lineup.

After months of speculation about casting changes, the official announcement locked in three returning wives and made room for fresh faces.

Joining Sai, Erin, and Jessel are three new Housewives: Daisy Nicole Toye, Erika Hammond, and Hailey Glassman.

Daisy is known as Martha Stewart’s longtime makeup artist. Hailey previously made headlines as Jon Gosselin’s former girlfriend. Erika is a celebrity trainer and the wife of Bilt founder Ankur Jain.

While Bravo just made it official, Bravo and Cocktails readers may remember we shared this exact cast list back on February 10. At the time, a tip confirmed production was gearing up and that Carole would return as a friend-of alongside Erin, Jessel, Sai, Daisy, Erika, and Hailey.

Once again, the Cocktailers knew first.
