Don’t Get Jealous, But These Celebs May Love Bravo Even More Than You Do

Forget being the biggest celebrity Bravo fan—Rihanna might be one of the biggest Bravo fans on the planet, period. At a Fenty event, she said that Bravo was her biggest obsession after her children. “It’s Housewives, Vanderpump Rules and then anything Bravo,” she said. “Andy Cohen didn’t pay me to say that, I promise. I’m just — I’m obsessed.”

While Andy didn’t pay her to say that, he did reveal on an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show that Queen RiRi occasionally slides into his DMs to chat all things Bravo. I-CON-IC.

Jon has long been a staple in the Watch What Happens Live clubhouse…and he has the Bravo knowledge to back it up. “I’m a Jersey man,” he revealed on Today. “I’m a Vanderpumper. I’m a Beverly Hills-ian. I like New York. We’ll see what this whole new New York thing is all about,” he said, referring to the franchise’s reboot.

Lady Gaga loves Bravo so much, she cast several of the Beverly Hills wives in the music video for her song “G.U.Y.” She also tweeted praise for Southern Charm‘s Patricia Altschul and reportedly dined with THE Lisa Vanderpump at—where else?—the now-closed Pump.

During a BuzzFeed puppy interview with his Iron Claw cast mates, Jeremy shared his love for Below Deck. “You can pop in at any time,” he said. Men playing with puppies and discussing their favorite Bravo shows…now that’s my kind of love language.

I have never heard a single thing about Meryl Streep that could make me dislike her. In fact, every time she gives an interview, I low-key love her even more. Case in point? When asked why she accepted a role in the climate change film Don’t Look Up, she told Entertainment Tonight, “If we don’t survive, we won’t be able to watch Housewives.” I want to go get espresso martinis and talk Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with her!

John’s love for Bravo seeps into his fashion sense: He’s pictured here wearing a Brooks Marks sweatsuit in honor of the fashion line created by Salt Lake City wife Meredith Marks’ son. The Last Week Tonight host is a fixture on Watch What Happens Live, where he delivers Real Housewives of New York hot takes and deep dives on Vanderpump Rules. During an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, he revealed that Sonja Morgan is his favorite housewife, which, same.

During a stop on Michelle’s book tour, Gayle King asked the question on everybody’s mind: Does the former First Lady like to indulge in a Bravo marathon? The former first lady revealed that she enjoys watching the Atlanta and Potomac Real Housewives franchises. Taste!

How many quotes could I include of Jennifer gushing about Bravo? The limit does not exist! She proclaimed the Salt Lake City season 4 finale “the best finale I have ever seen on reality TV,” called Beverly Hills wife Erika Jayne “evil,” and when Andy Cohen asked what she would say to Tom Sandoval, she replied, “I curse the day you were born.” Noted.

In 2023, Sofia posted a selfie to her Instagram story (you can see it here in a screenshot shared to the Vanderpump Rules subreddit, which I now give you permission to spend the rest of your day scrolling through) with the caption: “Who else is patiently waiting for the VPR finale tonight?” Now I must know, did she start watching during Scandoval, or was she one of us long before that?

Nicki’s Bravo allegiance aligns squarely with The Real Housewives of Potomac—she even made an appearance during the season 6 reunion, where she gave Andy a new nickname: “Andyconda.” Housewife Wendy Osefo revealed that Nicki often likes her Instagram photos.

Per her Instagram, after spending her holidays catching up on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy—say that five times fast—Emma took to the kitchen to whip up eggs à la française, inspired by Countess Luann de Lesseps. In the video, Emma also gave an impromptu performance of Luann’s song, “Money Can’t Buy You Class.”

File this one under “completely unexpected friendships.” Florence is pals with former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna. Although the pair only met IRL at a Harris Reed fashion show in February 2023, they’ve had a long-running online friendship. “You know we’ve been messaging for the last three years,” Florence said in a video posted to Lisa’s Instagram. She told reporters that she indeed watches RHOBH and that she and Rinna “know each other really well.”

In 2015, Bravo rolled out the “Clubhouse Playhouse,” a segment on Watch What Happens Live in which celebrities—most of whom are Bravo superfans—act out memorable moments from Bravo shows. In December 2023, Julia delivered the performance of a lifetime when she expertly reenacted Sutton Stracke’s iconic “Name ’em” scene from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The Academy better have been watching.

When Ziwe appeared on Andy Cohen Live in 2021, she told the Bravo host that her interview style was inspired by his work on the Housewives reunions. “I’m a big Housewives person,” she said. “I’ve seen every reunion and the questions you ask these women is part investigative journalism, part rude therapist.”

Leave it to Miley to, well, just be Miley while hanging out with the cast of Vanderpump Rules. In 2019, she was spotted at the opening of TomTom, the bar owned by Toms Sandoval and Schwartz. If you believe Sandoval, she even gave him “a boatload of weed” during the party.

In Watch What Happens Live‘s perfectly named “Brav-Oh No They Didn’t!” segment, Bowen gave his thoughts on everything from the cast of Salt Lake City‘s chaotic trip to Palm Springs to an Orange County feud between Heather and Tamra (he’s team Heather, btw!) in the way that only a seasoned Bravo expert can. It’s also worth noting that he and Las Culturistas co-host Matt Rogers have given their Bravo thoughts on their podcast countless times.

In 2017, Beyoncé interviewed Solange for Interview magazine. One of the biggest revelations from their convo? Solange is a massive Real Housewives of Atlanta fan. “I watch it religiously, and I am in stitches the whole time,” she said. Although Beyoncé said she didn’t know about her sister’s love for Bravo, I can only hope that Queen Bey is now a RHOA fan.

The actress revealed that she turns to the Housewives whenever she needs to unwind, which might just be the most relatable thing a celebrity has ever said. “I’m a big fan of a hot bath, and I’ve got a situation where I can take a hot bath and maybe watch a little Bravo? I love doing that,” she told Hoda Kotb on Today.

Although Jessica said she watches “everything” on Bravo, I suspect she has a soft spot for Beverly Hills. She was spotted fangirling over Garcelle Beauvis at an event and shared that she once rented out Kyle Richards’ home.

Chrissy’s love for Bravo has been well-documented for over a decade. In fact, actual Housewives have reportedly been clamoring for her to join the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, although Chrissy claims she would be a bad fit. “I don’t think fans of the show are necessarily good on it because we know too much and I think they come in and it seems like they’re too fan-girly,” she said on Watch What Happens Live in 2023.

When Khloé was pregnant with True, she tweeted, “The perfect time for New York housewives to come back on. Nesting at its finest.” I can just picture her restocking True’s meticulously organized closet full of designer baby clothes or her color-coded pantry to the sounds of the Big Apple ladies screaming at each other. Bliss.
