Carole Radziwill has finally made her return to Bravo following her departure from The Real Housewives of New York City after Season 10.
The RHONY alum made a surprise appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Aug. 4, where she greeted guests Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, and hugged host Andy Cohen, who was happy to welcome her back with open arms and a round of applause.
“Making a triumphant return!” Andy exclaimed.
“This is so crazy to me, by the way,” Carole said as she took a seat at the bar. To that, Andy replied, “It’s been a minute! Radzi, it’s been a minute!”Â
Carole took to her Instagram account after WWHL aired where she shared her thoughts on her big return. “The [RHONY] reunion you were waiting for…yes, that’s me. The mystery guest on WWHL,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “Of course [Andy] was incredible and fun and gracious with a smile ear to ear. Even though I’m famously NOT A HUGGER, the hug was the best part.”
“That’s all folks…no other reunions or appearances but this one was worth all my nervousness & butterflies,” she concluded.

She also opened up to Andy about her new Substack, which is filled with “musings, cultural observations, unsolicited opinions on people, places, and things.”
“I’m not going to start off writing about politics, because I’m choosing peace over that,” she explained to Andy. “But I will.”
“It’s sort of like my life with Carole Radziwill, and a lot of unpublished work I’m gonna put up there,” she continued. “I like interacting with the fans, and the Bravo fans are so incredible, even all these years later…and so I want to give them something to read and think about.”
In February, Carole revealed that she was an investor in the off-Broadway play, Curse of the Starving Class. She took to Instagram at the time, where she shared some details about the very exciting project.
“I’ve had the opportunity to invest [and] support [The New Group NYC] in this thought-provoking play, written by Sam Shepard in the ’70s and still is relevant today,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “The play originally premiered Off-Broadway in 1978. This revival features the incredibly talented Calista Flockhart, Christian Slater, as well as newcomers Cooper Hoffman and Stella Marcus.”

Carole also mentioned that she was busy filming a new documentary on CNN about her late husband, Anthony Radziwill’s cousin, John F. Kennedy Jr., his magazine George, and his late wife, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. She stated that she was happy to participate in the project, premiering on Aug. 9.
“It’s nice, because I don’t participate in a lot of that, but if I have the chance to say something, nice about John and something that’s not — you know, I’m probably the only woman in the world who’s just tired of seeing John without a shirt on,” she explained.Â
“So if I can talk about what really mattered to him and his passion and his magazine, and of course, his Carolyn, then, you know, I do,” she added.
Carole Radziwill reveals where she stands with Dorinda Medley and more RHONY alums
During the WWHL After Show, Carole admitted that she still keeps in touch with some of her fellow RHONY alums to this day, like Dorinda Medley. “Dorinda and I share a really good friend, so I do see her occasionally, but she’s really busy doing her other shows,” she explained.
“And Heather [Thomson] moved to the Berkshires, but she comes to the city, and I still see her very occasionally, a couple times a year,” she admitted. “And then other than that, I haven’t seen anyone else in eight years although I recently randomly bumped into Ramona [Singer] and Luann [de Lesseps] at the same party and I had to look around and was like, ‘There’s definitely cameras here.’ There should have been.”
Carole Radziwill shares updates on her apartment
Carole shared on the WWHL After Show that she is still living in her Soho duplex and has not yet added a railing to her floating staircase. But, she has made some changes to it.
“I redid my entire apartment, it’s all like, french architecture and molding,” she explained. “It looks totally different than you guys have seen it.”
Carole’s apartment can briefly be seen in the background of an Instagram Reel from July 23. In the video, Carole can be seen standing in front of the floating staircase, which seems to have gotten a brand new coat of paint. It’s chic, just like Carole herself.
Is Carole Radziwill dating anyone?
Carole hasn’t explicitly said whether or not she is seeing anyone. But, in a February interview with Us Weekly, she revealed that dating has gotten better for her as she has gotten older.
“It was fun, but it’s just gotten better and better and better,” she admitted. “And now, it’s like, rocking! It’s just so fun.”
