Summary

Jennifer Aydin has officially confirmed her departure from The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The 48-year-old reality star announced her exit via Instagram on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, stating, "I am not coming back to The Real Housewives of New Jersey." Aydin noted that she received a call from a producer just before the news broke, confirming her departure.
Margaret Josephs, 58, also revealed her decision to move on from the Bravo franchise earlier this week. She cited a need to spend more time with her family and focus on other projects, including her design work. Josephs shared that the timing felt right for her to make this change.
Bravo has not yet announced the full cast for RHONJ season 15, which will include Dolores and Melissa, alongside Teresa. Producer Andy Cohen expressed excitement about the new lineup, promising a compelling season for viewers. The show's season 14 finale aired in August 2024, following a particularly toxic dynamic between sisters-in-law Teresa and Melissa, which led to Bravo skipping a traditional reunion.
However, a reconciliation between Teresa and Melissa occurred at BravoCon 2025 last November, suggesting a potential shift in the franchise's dynamics. The Real Housewives of New Jersey is fully available for streaming on Peacock.
