Bravo Reveals Real Housewives of Rhode Island Cast

by

There’s a new group ready to make waves.

Bravo is adding a new city to its Real Housewives franchise: Rhode Island! The show promises plenty of drama, and the cast includes a couple of people viewers might recognize.

Former Bachelor contestant Ashley Iaconetti is becoming a reality TV housewife! The 37-year-old is moving away from dating roses and towards sharing life updates in Rhode Island, where she and her husband, Jared Haibon, now live.

Joining the show as a recurring character in its first season is Dolores Catania from The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She’s friends with Liz McGraw, who owns and runs the most popular cannabis dispensary in the state.

Rounding out the cast are several new faces: Alicia Carmody, a Rhode Island pizzeria owner who’s been with her fiancé for eight years; Rosie DiMare, a former local news anchor; Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, a financial planner, wealth manager, and mother of two; Kelsey Swanson, a former Miss Rhode Island and professional makeup artist; and Jo-Ellen Tiberi, known around town for being a bit of a gossip, who balances her career with raising three children.

The cast appears fairly harmless – it includes a beauty queen and several mothers – but the show’s preview suggests plenty of drama and conflict will unfold on the East Coast.

The trailer begins with a voiceover from a cast member stating a simple truth about Rhode Island: “Everyone knows everyone.”

In a confessional, Rosie jokingly describes Rhode Island as a place where honesty isn’t a priority, saying people are quick to lie and gossip. Despite this, she adds with a smile, “I love it here!”

Honestly, I’m already hooked, and it seems like gossip is going to be HUGE this season! The trailer dropped some serious hints – like one of the husbands supposedly meeting a woman every morning instead of going to the gym. And get this – there’s talk that one of the cast members is dating two guys! But the most shocking rumor? Apparently, someone’s husband, who’s a podiatrist, is…well, let’s just say he’s offering services beyond foot care. I cannot wait to see how all of this unfolds!

Living in a place like Rhode Island, you quickly learn everyone’s connected! It’s a small state, and honestly, news – or anything, really – travels fast. What one person says, everyone seems to know before you can even blink. It’s just the way we are here!

After all, as Rose puts it, “Smallest state with the biggest attitude.”     

Fans of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise will have to wait until 2026 for the new Real Housewives of Rhode Island, but there’s still lots of great television coming in 2025. Keep reading to find out when your favorite shows will premiere!
