Rachel Zoe is ready to film a new season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with some new diamond holders.
“I’m all for it,” Rachel, 55, exclusively shared with Us while partnering on Aflac’s Check for Cancer campaign. “I mean, it’s just about the more the merrier. [I] love new people and you know, hopefully we can laugh a lot.”
In August, Bravo confirmed Leah Remini and Million Dollar Listing alum Tracy Tutor would be joining season 16 of RHOBH. The newbies are expected to join Rachel, Kyle Richards, Bozoma Saint John-Watson, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, Dorit Kemsley, Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly for another chic season.
“I’m kind of ready for anything,” Rachel said when teasing her second season as a Real Housewife. “I can only control what I do, right? Not what anybody else does or says. So I think it’s just like, close your eyes and jump kind of thing.”
When asked if she has any goals or intentions heading into a new season, Rachel said no.
“I just wing everything that I do, pretty much,” she said with a laugh. “Especially this. I mean, it’s kind of hard to preemptively do anything with reality.”
While it’s hard to predict what comes next on reality TV, Rachel does know that anyone can take proactive steps to take care of their health. While teaming up with Aflac, the fashion designer is unveiling a limited-edition jacket that turns fashion into a prompt to check for cancer.
“There’s a QR code embedded in the design of this jacket. When you hold your phone and your camera to it, it’ll literally take you to Aflac to actually take the cancer screening assessment,” Rachel explained. “Of course you get a chance to enter to win one of these jackets. It’s a very limited run. You can only get it by completing the assessment.”
According to the 2026 Aflac Wellness Matters Survey, nearly half of Americans (46 percent) are not aware of age-recommended cancer screenings.
After turning 55 in September, the Baby2Baby board member wants to remind her fans to prioritize their health and wellness.
“I am incredibly vigilant about my health because I come from a family and countless friends who have been plagued with cancer, and I think that a lot of people avoid these types of things because it’s that ignorance is bliss,” Rachel shared. “I feel like this was such an incredible initiative for Aflec to do because it really is about awareness, and the sooner you take your screenings and the more education you have about when to do that and the more knowledge you have about that process, the better off you are.”
As Rachel enters another year of life, the businesswoman is happy to say she is “living my best life right now.”
In fact, she can confidently say “I’m probably the happiest I’ve been in forever.”
“I think I do live my life now with much more freedom in all areas,” she explained. “I’m overall just really happy, but I also think that health takes precedence over everything, and certainly when it comes to my kids and my family and everything else. It’s sort of like, ‘OK, if you have your health sorted, everything else you can have fun with.’”
