Luann de Lesseps Leads Star-Studded RHONY Reunion
Bravo fans were treated to a nostalgic surprise when Countess Luann de Lesseps shared a video on Instagram capturing a chic summer reunion with fellow “Real Housewives of New York City” stars.
Shared on Aug. 18, the clip showed de Lesseps enjoying the Hamptons sunshine alongside Kelly Bensimon, Jill Zarin, and Sonja Morgan—three names synonymous with RHONY history.
De Lesseps captioned the post with her signature wit, giving fans just enough of a tease to stir up excitement.
“The Big Apple is always tempting… and my girls never miss a bite. 🍎,” she wrote.
The short video, filmed in Sag Harbor, carried all the glitz, glamour, and lighthearted chaos that fans love. The group looked effortlessly stylish, smiling and laughing as they strutted down the road.
RuPaul’s “Bring Back My Girls” played during the short clip.
For longtime Bravo viewers, seeing these women together again sparked instant nostalgia for the franchise’s earlier seasons, which helped define the Housewives phenomenon.
Fans React
Within hours, comments poured in from followers who were thrilled to see the ladies reuniting off-screen.
“The best rhony girls walking to a rupaul song… as god intended,” one fan said.
Many even begged for Bravo cameras to follow them around the Hamptons for old times’ sake.
“Petition to bring back the REAL RHONY😍,” another user wrote.
Even the popular pet store PetSmart weighed in on seeing the reality TV stars together. “Someone tag Andy [Cohen] rn and tell him to get moving,” the account wrote.
RHONY alum Ramona Singer even commented on the video as she wasn’t able to make it.
“So sorry I missed being there with you all, as wasn’t well,” she wrote, as she added a couple of crying emojis.
Luann Previously Gave Her Thoughts on a Possible Return
De Lesseps openly spoke with Parade in an exclusive in June of 2025 and explained why the RHONY reboot struggled to resonate with fans.
She explained that the decision to launch an entirely new cast left longtime viewers without the connections that made the original series thrive.
The reality TV star added she has a simple solution for it. “I think that they should combine the cast,” she said of the original and new cast members. “I mean, I think the first problem was that they had an all-new cast and they didn’t keep the OGs.”
De Lesseps revealed that there had previously been talks on bringing the OG show back, but she doesn’t know the latest regarding it. As for herself, she said, “I never say never. I say maybe.”
