Hilaria Baldwin is open to the possibility of joining “The Real Housewives” in the future.
“I never say no,” Hilaria, 42, told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea,” when asked if we’d ever see her on the hit Bravo franchise. “I never say no to possibilities. Who knows where this little life is gonna go next?”
“Real Housewives” executive producer Andy Cohen shared in 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,” though “it didn’t go much further” than that at the time.
“I mean, I love Andy,” Baldwin told us.
“The Real Housewives of New York City” was infamously rebooted with an entirely new cast in 2023. After a second filming hiatus following Season 15, Bravo opted only to bring back Erin Lichy, Sai De Silva and Jessel Taank, along with OG star Carole Radziwill and three newbies.
While Hilaria might not be on the “RHONY” Season 16 roster, she has kept herself busy with other reality TV projects.
The yoga instructor, who recently appeared in “Nation’s Dumbest” on FOX and “The Baldwins” on TLC, said she’s finally starting to gain an “understanding” on what it’s like to be in the spotlight.
Hilaria, who married Alec Baldwin in 2012, told us that she “didn’t know which way was which way” when she first became a part of the actor’s high-profile world.
“There are moments where you just feel like you’re under attack,” the mom of seven said. “You’re like, ‘This is so scary; I want to hide under there and never come out.’”
However, some of Hilaria’s recent career endeavors, like her upcoming appearance on the Amazon Prime Video series “Reality Retreat,” have taught her the importance of “holding your own.”
“My experience of going down to the Dominican Republic and shooting [that] show with all the ladies that I did for Amazon was a really good lesson,” she said.
“Reality Retreat,” which is slated to premiere sometime in 2027, also stars Julie and Savannah Chrisley from “Chrisley Knows Best,” Brittany Cartwright from “The Valley,” Christine Quinn from “Selling Sunset” and “Real Housewives” alums Kenya Moore, Margaret Josephs and Kim Zolciak.
Hilaria, who also competed in “Dancing with the Stars” Season 34, told us that it’s been “very healing” to participate in various reality and competition shows.
“As much as I feel like the public space takes you and commandeers you and mixes you all up and really has nothing to do with who you are, I think, little by little, if you stay for it, if you ride the wave and be like, ‘No, I’m still here and this is who I am and don’t you do that,’ that’s a very healing thing,” she explained. “I think it betters me to be in these places.”
Watch Hilaria on “Nation’s Dumbest” every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on FOX.
