RHONJ Star Goes Golden
The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum, 59, confirmed to Us Weekly that she filmed a cameo for E!’s upcoming series The Golden Life, which reunites former Real Housewives of New York City stars in Palm Beach, Florida. Josephs discussed the project while attending the Vulture Reality Masterminds Celebration at The Lawn Club in New York City on Thursday, May 7.
After initially staying coy about her role, Josephs hinted that her time in Florida put her alongside familiar Bravo favorites. “I was with iconic women that I always love,” she told the outlet.
E! announced in February that The Golden Life had been greenlit as a 10-episode series starring RHONY alums Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon and Sonja Morgan. The show follows the longtime New Yorkers as they build a new social chapter in Palm Beach, balancing friendship, dating, family, career updates and unresolved drama.
The series also extends the RHONY legacy shaped by franchise figures such as Bethenny Frankel and Jill Zarin, whose early seasons helped define the show’s mix of glamour, conflict and comedy. Andy Cohen remains closely tied to that broader Housewives universe through Bravo and NBCUniversal, both of which Josephs tagged in her March 24 Instagram exit announcement.
Josephs joined RHONJ in season 8 in 2017 and said she had been speaking with Bravo since December 2025 about leaving. Her departure comes as she shifts toward other projects, including Savannah Chrisley’s upcoming Amazon Prime series with Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Kenya Moore, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jenn Tran.
With The Golden Life and the Amazon project, Josephs is staying firmly in the unscripted-TV space while expanding beyond New Jersey.
