The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 is expected to start filming this spring as rumors about the cast run wild among Bravo fans.
Season 13 of the Bravo hit, which finished airing in March, starred Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, Crystal Kung Minkoff and newcomer Annemarie Wiley. As the last remaining OG cast member, fans have been waiting for confirmation that Kyle has signed on to hold a diamond again.
Kyle, who was mourning the loss of childhood best friend Lorene, had a difficult season 13 with her costars questioning her decision to stop drinking, her weight loss (she denied that she had taken Ozempic) and her marital issues. (Us Weekly confirmed in July 2023 that Kyle and estranged husband Mauricio Umansky had separated after two decades of marriage.)
After the season wrapped airing in March, Kyle noted that it could be beneficial to take a mental health break by going on pause from the show.

“It was difficult shooting the season because I was going through stuff in my marriage, but our daughters didn’t know, and I didn’t feel like sharing it on camera quite yet,” Kyle told Us in her December 2023 cover story. “But I was honest with the [cast]. When they started grilling me, I was like, ‘Why are you acting like I haven’t been honest? I told you it’s the worst year we’ve ever had.’ Did they want me to take them inside my bedroom? I don’t know what they wanted me to do. I felt like people I considered my friends hurt me.”

Kyle Richards
Housewives Status: Returning
Eagle-eyed fans spotted her filming alongside other RHOBH cast members on May 12. Kyle was previously unsure whether she would be stepping back into the Bravo spotlight.
“People keep asking me, ‘Are you going to come back? Are you going to leave?’” she told Extra in March. “It’s always something I decide last-minute, sort of.”
Two months later during a May Amazon Live session, Kyle reiterated that she “can’t confirm” that she will return but denied that she had posed an ultimatum.
“I don’t even know what I’m doing yet, guys, so that can’t be true,” she added.
Dorit Kemsley
Housewives Status: Returning
Dorit was also spotted at the May 12 event, filming alongside Kyle and other members of the RHOBH cast. Rumors previously swirled online that the fashion designer could appear in a smaller role as a “friend.” Bravo has not commented on the speculation.
In May, Dorit announced her separation from husband Paul “PK” Kemsley in a statement, which read, “We as a couple have been subject to a lot of speculation about our marriage. We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together.”
She continued: “To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children.”

Erika Jayne
Housewives Status: Returning
Fans also clocked Erika, 52, at the event in May, confirming her return to the show. The singer is currently happy with her new chapter since filing for divorce from Tom Girardi, being dismissed from his fraud lawsuit and headlining her own Las Vegas residency.
“I’m happy to have come this far. I’m happy to have had the chance to start over and go forward, and life is much better than it has been,” she told Us in March. “You have to pick yourself up and you have to put one foot in front of the other. It really is baby step, baby step, baby step. And then those steps become a little bit bigger and bigger.”
Garcelle Beauvais
Housewives Status: Returning
Garcelle, 57, was not photographed at the same event as her fellow RHOBH stars, but there were reports of her attendance. Last month, Garcelle told Access Hollywood that she “is not allowed to say” whether she would be returning to the show.
“I have nothing to do with casting,” Garcelle added.
Sutton Stracke
Housewives Status: Returning
Considering Sutton was the May party’s host, it seems she’ll be back into the fold for season 14. This came months after she told The Sun in March that “[she doesn’t] know if [she’s] coming back.”
“I have no idea,” Sutton stressed. “I’m not in charge of that stuff.”
Crystal Kung Minkoff
Housewives Status: Fired
Crystal, 41, announced via Instagram in April that she would not be returning for season 14.
“It’s very bittersweet,” she said at the time. “Never did I think I would have been asked to do the show in a million years, let alone film it for three seasons. Every single year I was asked back, it was a blessing. It was an honor.”
A source later confirmed to Us that Crystal was fired “because she didn’t deliver” on story lines. Per the insider, production did not have a plot line in mind for Crystal going into the new season.
Annemarie Wiley
Housewives Status: Fired
Annemarie, 40, got her diamond for RHOBH season 13 only to return it the next year.
“I’m disappointed is an understatement,” she said in a March social media statement. “I never auditioned for this show. The show found me and asked me to be on it out of the blue 6 weeks after the cast had already started filming. I was thrown into filming 2 weeks later, mid-season. I was very excited about the opportunity, and I thought following exactly what I was instructed to do throughout filming last season was the way the ‘game was played.’”
