Rachel Zoe is not hiding from the headlines.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star gave a major update on her divorce from husband Rodger Berman, and it sounds like the end is officially near. After 26 years of marriage, two sons, and a very public unraveling on Bravo, Zoe says the split will be finalized “soon.”
And yes, she insists it is amicable. Even if the show tells a different story.
RHOBH: “We Want What’s Best for the Kids”
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Feb. 12, Zoe, 54, confirmed her divorce is not yet finalized but added, “It will be soon.”
When Andy Cohen asked whether things were friendly between her and Rodger, she answered directly.
“It is because ultimately we want what’s best for the kids,” she said.
The former couple share two sons, Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 11. After nearly three decades together, Zoe is focused on keeping stability for them. That seems to be the common ground holding everything together.
RHOBH: Is Rodger Berman Watching RHOBH?
Fans have watched the aftermath of Zoe’s split play out on Season 15 of RHOBH. The tension feels raw. So naturally, Andy asked the obvious question.
“Is Rodger watching the show?”
“I doubt it,” Zoe replied.
But she admitted he has reacted.
“He has said a few things. He’s not thrilled, but I also think that people are telling him, like his friends or whatever.”
Zoe made it clear that what viewers are seeing reflects real-time emotions.
“Anything that I say is really how I felt in the moment, and things were happening in real time this summer. And there’s a lot I don’t share, you know.”
That last line says everything.
RHOBH: “I Probably Should Have Done It Sooner”
Zoe has already admitted she stayed in the marriage longer than she should have.
“I was done, I was really done,” she previously told People. “I don’t suffer from guilt of not having given it everything I could have.”
She even said she “100%” should have ended things sooner.
That is not something women with regret usually say. It sounds like someone who made peace with a painful decision.
She also rejected the idea that her marriage was a failure.
“Having been married for 26 years, I would say that three-quarters of that was amazing.”
It is rare to hear that kind of balanced perspective in the middle of reality TV drama.
RHOBH: The BravoCon “Chemistry” Rumors
Zoe also shut down rumors about possible sparks with fellow Bravo personality Jesse Lally after their joint appearance at BravoCon.
When Andy hinted at “chemistry,” she shut it down quickly.
“No.”
She explained that Lally was simply being kind backstage.
“He was very sweet backstage… he covered my back, he was a gentleman.”
That is it. No romance. No scandal.
RHOBH: A Freshman Season Under Fire
Zoe joined RHOBH in 2025, and she walked into the franchise during one of the most personal transitions of her life. Divorce. Co-parenting. Public scrutiny.
Reza Farahan even told her on WWHL, “You’re having a freshman season that’s killing the game.”
And he is not wrong. Zoe is delivering vulnerability without screaming matches. She is composed, but she is not pretending everything is fine.
There is strength in that.
The divorce may not be final yet, but Rachel Zoe sounds like someone who already emotionally moved forward.
And this time, she is doing it on her own terms.
