Rachel Zoe is embracing single life – and having a little fun while she’s at it.
The 54-year-old fashion mogul and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star opened up about navigating the dating scene after the collapse of her 26-year marriage to husband Rodger Berman, admitting she’s been spending time with ‘younger men.’
Zoe filed for divorce in July 2025, nearly a year after the longtime couple first revealed they had separated. The pair had been together for 33 years and married since 1996.
They also share two sons – Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 12.
Now stepping back into the dating world, Zoe admitted she’s keeping things light – and younger.
The style icon described dating again as being ‘really fun’ and said her suitors tend to be younger, in a chat with Interview magazine published on Thursday.

‘But also, I don’t “need a man” for traditional reasons,’ she said. ‘I’m financially independent. I’m socially independent. I have my kids. So for me, it’s like, “Let’s enjoy life.”’
Zoe also revealed the kind of men currently catching her eye.
‘I’m definitely spending time with guys who are younger. It’s mostly creative, energetic, deep-souled people who I connect to.’
While she isn’t necessarily looking for a traditional relationship right now, the Bravo star admitted she hasn’t ruled out tying the knot again one day.
Reflecting on her long relationship with Berman, Zoe insisted she has no regrets.
‘We were married for 26 years and I can’t have any regrets because we had a great love story.’
Elsewhere in the interview, Zoe also shared her broader thoughts on men.
‘I come from an incredible family of the greatest men I’ve ever known, from my grandfathers down to my kids and my nephew. But I do think all men are boys. I don’t mean it negatively, but they have a little bit of the Peter Pan thing going on.’

Despite the breakup, Zoe made clear that her two sons remain her top priority.
The Bravo star said raising Skyler and Kaius will be ‘the greatest achievement of my life,’ describing the boys as ‘earth angels.’
The candid interview comes as Zoe has also been reflecting publicly on the breakdown of her marriage on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
During a recent episode, the fashion designer recalled the surprising moment Berman proposed to her — just one day after she admitted she had ‘fooled around’ with a model early in their relationship.
Speaking to castmates Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley over dinner in the Hamptons, Zoe revealed the encounter happened four years into her relationship with Berman.
The fashion mogul described the model as ‘the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen in my life’ and said she confessed because she ‘felt so bad.’
‘I told him that I fooled around with this guy, and I’m not joking, he proposed to me the next day,’ she said. ‘True story.’
But Zoe also revealed the moment that ultimately led to the end of their decades-long marriage.

‘Whatever happened, happened and then I just split open,’ she said, adding, ‘I just remember literally being on the ground.’
The star said the couple had gotten into ‘a big fight.’
When her co-stars asked how she discovered what Berman had done, she replied simply: ‘Well, he told me.’
Zoe recalled she had just returned home from designer Brian Atwood’s birthday party when she received ‘a call’ from Berman, who was in Aspen.
‘Honestly, it’s like I saw red and just hung up. People have always asked me over the years what’s the secret to our success. The first answer was always trust. It’s like, when that trust is broken, it’s broken. There’s no going back.’
‘The way that we were married, I never looked at his phone, not once. Never in my life — not even thought about, talked about, considered,’ she said.
Zoe said some people have asked whether Berman confessed ‘because he wanted to hurt’ her.
‘You don’t think he told you because he felt guilty?’ Kemsley asked.
‘Yes, because he’s never lied to me a day in his life, so I think it’s partly that. I think it’s also, like, “I want to see if you still give a s**t. I want to see if you care even this much.” My reaction is: “I can’t come back. I can’t un-hear, I can’t unsee, I can’t un-know.”’
Zoe also said Berman ‘was a secure person’ but admitted that during the last six to seven years of their marriage ‘it just went down.’
‘He was so secure. Everyone would ask him, “How do you let her do that? She’s going and styling all these huge male celebrities, these big male supermodels, these guys are hitting on her all the time.” He was always like, “If they can get her, they can have her.” It worked because I never cheated on him.’
Zoe added that while she ‘would flirt with guys’ and ‘they would flirt with me,’ she insisted it ‘was nothing.’
