Sanya Richards-Ross joined “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” for the show’s 14th season. It premiered on Bravo in May 2022. As mentioned, Sanya and Aaron were vocal about their desire to expand their family. At the time, they only had one child, their son, Aaron Jr.
Sanya remained on the hit show for its 15th season but didn’t return for the most recent installment.

Sanya continued, “I was like, ‘Oh, it’s no problem. I’ll have the baby, and it’ll be fine. And people get to see that because obviously when we started, we weren’t sure we were going to have it. I was excited about that possibility.”
She added, “And then when it wasn’t happening, I was like, this is a blessing because it’s been a lot and I really needed to be present. I needed to be present for my family and for my husband and for my eldest son.”
REPORT: Tamra Judge is Threatening to Quit RHOC & Gave Producers an Ultimatum, Plus Tamra Addresses Claim

Has Tamra Judge dealt Real Housewives of Orange County producers with an ultimatum?
Following last Thursday’s episode of season 19, which saw Gretchen Rossi, 46, claiming she cheated on her husband, Eddie Judge, 52, with a boy band singer, Tamra, 58, who threatened legal action shortly thereafter, was accused of “threatening to quit” the show.
“Tamra won’t stand for being lied about and damn well won’t stand for lies spread about her family,” an insider told The U.S. Sun on September 19. “When Gretchen announced she was coming back, Tamra was excited because she cares about making the best show possible above all else. Turns out that little reality dream has been a nightmare.”
“It’s at the point now where Tamra may have to give production an ultimatum. Because as of right now, if Gretchen comes back next season, Tamra wants nothing to do with it. She’s made that clear [with producers.] Tamra wants to focus on her marriage and her healthy friendships outside the show. But you know Tam, never say never when it comes to her show,” they went on.
During last week’s episode, Gretchen was seen making the bombshell allegation about Tamra to their co-stars, Heather Dubrow, 56, and Emily Simpson, 49.
Continuing on, the insider said that while Tamra “is the show,” she’s also “so much more outside of the TV screen.”
“Tamra has already talked with her attorneys about pursuing legal action against Gretchen and the claims she continues to make against her and her family. She is having a meeting with her legal team on Monday and will go over all of her options. She didn’t want it to get to this but Gretchen won’t keep her mouth shut and is spreading lies,” they explained.
The U.S. Sun’s report comes just days after Tamra was asked if she was allowed to sue her co-stars for defamation on Instagram.
“Let’s just say I have a meeting with my attorney on Monday,” she replied.
Then, after someone else questioned her about a season 20 return, Tamra gave a nod to the cast’s lack of empathy amid her struggles with Teddi Mellencamp‘s cancer battle.
“The amount of s**t talking about me behind my back by EVERYONE is gross. I was going through a really hard time back then emotionally. I was trying my hardest to put one foot in front of the other,” she shared.
Meanwhile, in a third post shared to her Instagram Story, Tamra reacted to The U.S. Sun’s report.
“That is not true … As [Kandi Burruss] once said, ‘The lies, the lies, the lies!” she declared.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
