Not all Real Housewives franchises are made to last — or are they? After launching shows in Orange County, New York City, Atlanta, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Beverly Hills, Bravo created the Real Housewives of Miami.
Season 1, which starred Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, Alexia Echevarria, Marysol Patton, Larsa Pippen and Cristy Rice, premiered in February 2011. After Larsa and Cristy left the series, Lisa Hochstein, Joanna Krupa, Ana Quincoces and Karent Sierra joined the cast for seasons 2 and 3. While RHOM last aired in 2013, Andy Cohen didn’t confirm that the show was done for good until 2016.
Despite a network cancellation, RHOM was ultimately rebooted by Peacock, the streaming home of Bravo, in 2021. Larsa, Lisa and Alexia returned in full-time roles with Adriana and Marysol as “friends.” New Housewives included Guerdy Abraira and Julia Lemigova and “friend” Kiki Barth. The same group filmed season 5 and 6, the latter of which aired on Bravo.

Lea Black
Lea, who was a full-time cast member during all three seasons, returned to Bravo for several episodes of Flipping Out in 2017 and 2018. In addition to making appearances on Jeff Lewis’ radio show, Lea has a skincare line and hosts her “Lunch With Lea” podcast. Lea’s podcast has not released a new episode since December 2021.
She made a cameo during season 5 to chat with Lisa about her divorce.
Cristy Rice
After one season on RHOM, Cristy launched a swimsuit line Cuban Rice in 2014. She often shares photos of her three kids with ex-husband and former NBA player, Glen Rice, via Instagram and was briefly linked to Jamie Foxx after they were spotted partying together in 2013.
Since leaving RHOM, Cristy works as a real estate agent.
Joanna Krupa
Joanna made headlines in 2015 when she filed a defamation lawsuit against Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville. Following a two-year legal battle over Brandi’s lewd comments on WWHL about Joanna’s vagina, the two women settled in August 2017.
Joanna and ex-husband Romain Zago called it quits in May 2017 after four years of marriage. “The bicoastal relationship was really tough and I think that really had a lot to do with why we’re not together right now.” she told Us at the time. “Traveling from L.A. to Miami and then also traveling out of the country.”
Seven months after their divorce was finalized, Joanna married businessman Douglas Nunes in small and private ceremony in Poland in August 2018. They welcomed daughter Asha-Leigh Presley Nunes in November 2019. Us confirmed in March 2023 that Douglas filed for divorce from the model after four years of marriage. Joanna and Douglas’ divorce was finalized in October 2023.
Ana Quincoces
Ana made a name for herself on The Next Food Network star in 2016. “It’s a second career for me, and I finally found my passion, and I’m just going to — this has assured me that I’m on the right track, that I’m doing the right thing, that I have a gift and that I should use it,” she told the network in an interview after her elimination on the show.
She has gone on to write several cookbooks and sell latin-inspired sauces and marinades locally in Florida and online through her Skinny Latina company. Ana also hosts the “Mami Issues” podcast.
Karent Sierra
The celebrity dentist continues to run her dentistry and MedSpa in Miami and raises money and provides medical care for underprivileged children through her Sharing Smiles Foundation. Karent also serves as the host of BeLatina TV, which airs on Lifetime.
