Hilaria Baldwin plays coy about joining Housewives
Hilaria Baldwin plays coy about joining The Real Housewives, telling Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea she never says no to possibilities. The yoga instructor and Alec Baldwin’s wife previously had an exploratory talk with executive producer Andy Cohen about RHONY, though it did not advance, and she is not on the Season 16 cast.
Key Takeaways
- Baldwin told Page Six, “I never say no,” when asked about a possible Housewives run.
- Andy Cohen said in 2024 they had an exploratory RHONY conversation that stalled.
- She is not on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 16 roster.
- She remains active on other reality projects, including Amazon’s Reality Retreat.
Fans scanning celebrity breaking news got a clear tease this week: Hilaria Baldwin is not ruling Bravo out. Speaking to Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea, the 42-year-old left the door open without locking in a deal.
“I never say no,” she said when asked if audiences might ever see her on the franchise. “I never say no to possibilities. Who knows where this little life is gonna go next?”
Did Hilaria Baldwin talk to Andy Cohen about RHONY?
Yes. Cohen shared on a June 2024 episode of Kelly Ripa’s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast that he and Baldwin had an “exploratory conversation” about her potentially joining The Real Housewives of New York City. He said it “didn’t go much further” at the time.
Baldwin still speaks warmly of the Bravo producer. “I mean, I love Andy,” she told Page Six.
That prior chat explains why her coy answer lands as more than idle gossip. It ties a fresh sound bite to a documented sit-down with the franchise’s most powerful gatekeeper.
Is she joining The Real Housewives of New York City?
Not for Season 16, according to Page Six. RHONY was rebooted with a new cast in 2023. After another filming pause following Season 15, Bravo brought back Erin Lichy, Sai De Silva and Jessel Taank, plus OG star Carole Radziwill and three newcomers.
Baldwin’s name is not on that returning group. Her latest comments signal openness to a future Housewives chapter rather than a confirmed casting announcement.
What else is Hilaria Baldwin filming right now?
While Housewives remains a maybe, she has stacked other unscripted work. She recently appeared in Nation’s Dumbest on FOX and The Baldwins on TLC. She also competed on Dancing with the Stars Season 34.
She recently filmed Amazon Prime Video’s Reality Retreat, slated to premiere sometime in 2027. That series also features Julie and Savannah Chrisley, Brittany Cartwright, Christine Quinn, and Real Housewives alums Kenya Moore, Margaret Josephs and Kim Zolciak.
Baldwin said the Dominican Republic shoot taught her about “holding your own.” She also said reality and competition shows have been “very healing,” helping her reclaim public space after years beside Alec Baldwin, whom she married in 2012. The mom of seven described early fame as disorienting and, at times, like being “under attack.”
Bottom line: Hilaria Baldwin plays coy for a reason. She is keeping Housewives on the table, citing endless possibilities, while building a broader reality résumé until Bravo makes the next move.
