Nene Leakes Is Back! Bravo Kicks Off a Star-Studded ‘Ultimate Girls Trip’

Nene Leakes is officially back in the Bravo universe and her return is shaping up to be must-see television for more than one reason. Production is now underway for Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip, which is celebrating 20 years of the iconic Housewives franchise with a milestone season titled “Roaring 20th.”

Filming continued today in Atlanta, and the scene was nothing short of star-studded. Leakes was joined by fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta original Kim Zolciak, marking a reunion fans have long talked about. Despite their storied history, the ladies posed together alongside Housewives from across the Bravo multiverse.

Also spotted were Gizelle Bryant, Shereé Whitfield, Porsha Williams, Ashley Darby, Stacey Rusch, Candiace Dillard Bassett, Mary Cosby, Marlo Hampton, Vicki Gunvalson, Cynthia Bailey, Lisa Wu-Hartwell, Drew Sidora, and Kyle Richards bringing together multiple cities, eras, and unforgettable personalities.

Set to premiere later this year, RHUGT is already shaping up to be one of the franchise’s most ambitious installments yet. To honor two decades of The Real Housewives, a select group of women will embark on a cross-country road trip, beginning in Orange County where it all started and ending on the East Coast, with stops at iconic locations along the way.

Vicki Gunvalson was the first Housewife to confirm her participation in Ultimate Girls Trip: Road Trip last year, while Porsha Williams revealed she’d be hitting the road during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live. Joining the OG of the OC and the Atlanta fan favorite are Luann de Lesseps (RHONY), Teresa Giudice (RHONJ), Kyle Richards (RHOBH), Gizelle Bryant (RHOP), and Lisa Barlow (RHOSLC).

In addition to the core cast, the series will feature appearances from more than 60 Housewives, spanning cities and generations, according to the official announcement. The journey will take the women through Orange County, Beverly Hills, Atlanta, Miami, and New York City where they’ll reconnect with familiar faces in emotional, surprising, and often unpredictable ways as new dynamics and relationships unfold along the road.

One thing is clear: Bravo is pulling out all the stops, and Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip – Roaring 20th is poised to be a celebration fans won’t want to miss. For the event, NeNe wore a sexy peek-a-boo black and gold embellished skirt set with headpiece included, such a diva look right! See more inside…
