Andy Cohen welcomed Stephanie Shojaee to the Real Housewives of Miami cast at Bravo’s Fan Fest!
Bravo TV‘s daddy posted a photo with the RHOM newbie with the caption, “First selfie with new Miami housewife STEPHANIE!
Who is Stephanie Shojaee?
A Miami native and real estate developer, Stephanie will join the cast alongside returning stars Guerdy Abraira, Lisa Hochstein, Julia Lemigova, Alexia Nepola, Larsa Pippen, Adriana de Moura, Marysol Patton, and Kiki Barth.
Shojaee described herself as a “trailblazer in everything she does. “All my decisions and all of my choices are always surprising everybody.”
When she was offered the chance to join the cast, she said, “I was like, ‘I think I just have to take it. I think the timing feels right and here I am.’ And what better way to show who I really am than to do it on The [Real] Housewives of Miami.”
She shared a taste of what’s to come, calling herself a “very tough cookie, but I’m a delicious cookie.”
“I’m the twist that no one’s prepared for in every setting: whether it’s in the office, whether it’s at a family dinner, wherever it is. Nobody really expects what I’m gonna say, and I’m just excited to show how much happiness and excitement.”
Stephanie on her time on RHOM:
Stephanie told Bravo’s The Daily Dish that her experience (so far) has been a “rollercoaster ride.”
“Oh my gosh, I did not know what to expect going into this, but I’m blown away in every sense of the word,” she said.
Her connection to RHOM alum, Nicole Martin:
Before Stephanie married her husband, Masoud, she dated former RHOM sweetheart, Dr. Nicole‘s fiance, Anthony Lopez.
While that would be a deliciously awkward dynamic, Nicole chose to take time away from the show to focus on her family and health. (She shared she was suffering significant postpartum anxiety.)
