The first cast photo from the “Real Housewives of Miami” reboot has been leaked online.
RHOM will return from an eight-year hiatus when it debuts on Peacock in December 2021. Now, viewers are getting a bit of a sneak peek into the first cast photo from the new show.
The photo shows Alexia Echevarria, Lisa Hochstein, Larsa Pippen, Guerdy Abraira, Julia Lemigova and Dr. Nicole Martin.
In addition, Adriana de Moura, Marysol Patton and Kiki Barth, although they were not pictured in the cast photo, will serve as friends of the housewives, according to Page Six.
Fans were excited by the teaser, commenting about their hopes for the new season on Reddit.
“Why isnt Adrianna a housewife!!!!?!?!?!??!?!!!????? So annoying, she carried the original series!!!! Larsa and Lisa where both extremely forgettable, Alexa was ok but no allstar!!! Hope these newbies are spicy and interesting,” someone wrote.
Someone noticed the similar color scheme to another Bravo show, writing, “This kinda looks like a knockoff (Vanderpump Rules) opening lol.”
An Instagram user commented on the colors of the image, writing, “I thought they would do a more tropical and brighter theme.”
Some fans were not impressed with the photo: “Immediately No…. Let’s hope this is not the real photo.”
At least one commenter wasn’t even aware there was going to be a show: “Who is this??? What is this???”
And another asked what many viewers were probably already thinking: “Now where is that trailer?”

‘Real Housewives of Miami’ Was 1 of 2 Cities Canceled by Bravo
The first season of RHOM premiered on February 22, 2011, with the final episode of season 3 airing on November 4, 2013. A two-part RHOM reunion show aired on November 11, 2013, and November 14, 2013. The franchise was the second city to be canceled; “Real Housewives of D.C.” was canceled after just one season, due in part to the controversy surrounding Michaele Salahi crashing a White House dinner, ABC News reported.
During an April 2019 Twitter Q-and-A, Executive Producer Andy Cohen replied “Seems low” to a question about the potential of RHOM coming back.
According to an April 2020 report from The List, Cohen appeared in an Instagram Story, where he shared more details about the show’s demise.
“People ask me about Miami all the time and say will you ever bring it back?” he said, according to The List. “The reason that we let it go was, I remember the ratings went down toward the end of the season. Which never happens. Like it went down for the reunion, and if it’s going down toward the end that’s just never a good sign.”
According to TV by the Numbers archives, RHOM’s premiere episode brought in 1.214 million U.S. viewers. The show’s ratings peaked during season 2, episode 10, when 1.63 million Americans tuned in.
Cohen also mentioned the loss of fan-favorite cast member Mama Elsa — who, he said, “got sick and dropped out” — was damaging to the show, The List reported.
Who Is Julia Lemigova, One of the Newest RHOM Stars?
According to Variety, Julia is a former Miss USSR and is the show’s “first cast member to identify as LGBTQ from the time she was cast.”
“A few others, most spectacularly Braunwyn Windham-Burke of ‘Orange County,’ have come out — or at least dabbled in the Lady Pond, to use an Andy Cohen term — during the course of the show,” the outlet wrote.
Julia married tennis superstar Martina Navratilova in December 2014, Variety reported. The outlet confirmed that Martina will have a role on the show.
Who Is Guerdy Abraira, Another RHOM Newbie?
According to Guerdy’s Instagram, she’s an event stylist and is married with two children. Guerdy’s bio on her company’s website says the designer was born in Haiti, moved to Paris when she was 1 year old, then came to Miami at age 9.
“Guerdy is a mother of two boys and has been with her high school sweetheart husband for 26 happy years (married 18 years). She is one of seven siblings who all live throughout the globe in Paris, Greece, Portugal, Luxembourg, Germany, and New Zealand,” the bio says.
According to Screen Rant, she’s pretty successful, as well.
“Her company, Guerdy Design, has even been called one of the top planners by Martha Stewart Weddings, Harpers Bazaar, and Brides magazines. Guerdy was also featured in Vogue once after they covered one of the weddings she planned,” the outlet wrote.
Who Is Dr. Nicole Martin, the Third New Cast Member?
Nicole is a mom and an anesthesiologist, according to her Instagram account.
According to Screen Rant, Nicole has a longtime partner, but it’s unclear whether they’re married.
“On Nicole’s Instagram, she has shared several photos of herself with a man by the name of Anthony Lopez. Since she hasn’t been spotted wearing a ring on her left hand, it seems the two might not be married,” the outlet reported. “Nonetheless, the pair have been together for at least six years, as her earliest photo with him on Instagram is from December 2015.”
Nicole and Anthony have a son, George, who was born in February of 2019, Screen Rant reported.
