As The Real Housewives of New York City enters its 15th season, alum Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessa Taank, and Brynn Whitfield have one new addition to their group—art curator and collector Racquel Chevremont. The seven Housewives each bring their style and charm to the show, making the potential for drama as full as ever.
The RHONY cast members are among the elite in New York City. Alongside work and play, each Housewive spends quality time in unique homes located around the Big Apple. A glimpse into where the cast of RHONY lives is as telling about each Housewife's personality and background as anything revealed on the show.
7 Racquel Chevremont
Racquel Chevremont, the latest Housewife, is a native New Yorker who spends her time out and about in the city she loves. As the newest Housewife, fans eagerly anticipate seeing more about where she lives. Racquel also travels a lot, but when she's at home, she surrounds herself with works by her favorite artists.
According to an article by Bravo, Raquel was born in Brooklyn and raised in the Bronx. Although it isn't very well known which part of New York Racquel resides in currently, it's certain to be brought up in the latest season.
6 Ubah Hassan
Model Ubah Hassan's home is a stark contrast from the "sixth-floor walkup she shared with seven other models" when she first was in New York City. Ubah decorated her Columbus Circle apartment with artwork she made, adding a personal touch to the elaborate space. Ubah's favorite place in her Manhattan "palace" is opposite a large window because it gives her a sense of calm, while her living room couch brings her comfort when she's done something she regrets.
Her living room and kitchen are used for work and play and, according to Ubah, her bedroom is kept especially warm because she's always cold. This isn't surprising for the Housewife who founded a hot sauce company called UBAH HOT.
5 Erin Lichy
Erin Lichy and her family lived in a two-story apartment in Tribeca until September 2023 when they relocated to an undisclosed new home in New York City. While the founder of renovation and design company Homegirl wasn't forthcoming about where she and her husband, Abraham Lichy, and their three children moved to, she offered glimpses to fans on social media as the shift took place.
In early 2024, the Lichy's were sued by their former landlord who claimed they owed him nearly $40,000 in rent on their Tribeca home, but the matter was later settled.
Fans Don't Love The New Real Housewives Of New York City Taglines
Real Housewives Of New York is coming back for Season 15, and fans are comparing new taglines to OG taglines.
4 Sai De Silva
Content creator Sai De Silva showed fans her home in Brooklyn, offering a glimpse at the townhouse with a stunning view of New York City. The $4.7 million property features an open kitchen with white marble countertops, a large living room with a huge floor-to-mirror ceiling, and a turf-covered backyard area.
Sai's home is located in Boerum Hill, a section of Brooklyn characterized by shops, bars, and cozy places to relax. Sia lives in the townhouse with her husband, David Craig, and their children, London and Rio.
Sai has talked about how her life now represents a shift from her upbringing. Sai moved out on her own at the age of 16, after which she shared "super cheap" apartments with friends. In one RHONY confessional, Sai said:
I stayed with a friend in her dorm cause I didn’t have any place to live... I think after a while everyone was probably just like look this b**ch is homeless, let’s just let her live here
3 Jenna Lyons
Former creative director for J. Crew and interior design guru Jenna Lyons lives in an apartment in the SoHo neighborhood in Manhattan. Jenna's former residence in Brooklyn was one she purchased with her then-husband, artist Vincent Mazeau for $1.3 million. After being featured in an issue of Domino magazine in 2008, Jenna became a staple on Pinterest boards worldwide.
Lyons, who was hired as the editor-in-chief (at large) of Coveteur in early 2024, negotiated some conditions for filming for the upcoming season with Bravo. She told The New York Times that her relationship is off-limits and would have less "home time" on the show, a revelation that could be disappointing for viewers.
What Makes Each Series Of 'The Real Housewives' Different?
While the format of each show is very similar, the storylines and drama that ensue could not be more different.
2 Jessel Taank
Jessel Taank's Chelsea apartment is steeped in history and decorated with the RHONY star's luxurious style. Located in a building built in 1887, Jessel's home in the heart of Manhattan features a lot of neutral tones. She explained to Bravo's Style & Living in 2023 what was in store for her abode:
Everything’s cream and beige and will soon be brown because I have twins and they love to get dirty.
Jessel's two children, Kai and Rio, and her husband, financier and businessman Pavit Randhawa, incorporate limited elements of their Indian heritage into their surroundings, but Jessel admitted she's more focused on making it look like she doesn't have kids than anything else.
Jessel's refuge amid the chaos of family life is her bedroom, but the "magic happens" in her large, organized closet she shares with Pavit.
1 Brynn Whitfield
Accused of having a "cheap, no view apartment rental," Whitfield shared a look at her new residence with Architectural Digest magazine in July 2024. Whitfield didn't allow filming in her previous apartment, but her new Greenwich Village apartment looks to be front and center going forward.
Whitfield was forthcoming about her past, explaining on the show:
I have so many deep traumatic associations with home…. I came from Section 8 housing and welfare... I’ve gone out of my way to make sure that I would have the exact opposite experience as an adult and love my home and be proud of it, not ashamed.
When Whitfield decorated her apartment, she gave it "1970s Parisian vibes" and filled it with both antique and modern pieces of decor.
Season 15 of The Real Housewives of New York City premiers on Bravo on Tuesday, October 1.
