Ashley Quai is filming with the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” cast for Season 7, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
We’re told Quai’s role — whether full time or part time — won’t be solidified until shooting wraps but that she’s definitely involved and has an existing relationship with several of the women.
Quai, who goes by her last name, was sisters-in-law with Whitney Rose’s late best friend, Shari Quai, who died of cancer in April 2023.
The Bravo newcomer is 44, married her husband in Las Vegas in September 2024, has a 23-year-old daughter named Zariah from a previous relationship and considers herself a “biker babe.”
The network historically does not comment on casting.
Quai joined the ladies on their cast trip to San Francisco, which is currently underway.
In photos obtained by X account Mary Cosby Fan Page, Quai was seen at the airport on Tuesday alongside returning stars Rose, Lisa Barlow, Meredith Marks, Angie Katsanevas, Bronwyn Newport and Heather Gay, in addition to returning cast friend Britani Bateman.
Barlow, Marks and Bateman all wore green in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, while Rose — who is Irish — fully committed by sporting an entire leprechaun getup.
As for Quai, she showed up in gray sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt because she admittedly “forgot” the holiday.
However, everyone was dressed in theme when they went out to the bars later that night, as seen in pictures obtained by another X user named Seth.
A video from the evening, which was also posted on X, showed Quai crying while talking to Barlow and Marks.
Page Six is told that Mary Cosby is not currently on the trip; it’s unclear whether she will meet up with the group at a later time.
Her level of involvement in the forthcoming season remains unclear as she continues to mourn the death of her only child, Robert Cosby Jr.
The 23-year-old — whose addiction struggles led to run-ins with the law and a stint in rehab — died last month after suffering a drug overdose.
The tragedy occurred just before cameras were set to pick back up for Season 7, which delayed production.
While Mary and her husband Robert Cosby Sr.’s “hearts ache” over the sudden loss of their son, they also take comfort in knowing he “is finally at peace.”
