Sonja Morgan, a former star of ‘The Real Housewives of New York City,’ recently appeared on Page Six’s ‘Virtual Reali-Tea’ podcast to discuss her current life, including updates on her dating experiences and the highly anticipated reality series ‘The Golden Life.’ During the interview, she expressed hope that fellow RHONY alum Dorinda Medley might still join the show, despite not being part of the initial cast.
‘The Golden Life’ is a new E! docuseries set to feature several original RHONY cast members, including Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, and Morgan herself. The show will follow the group as they navigate their ‘golden’ years in Palm Beach, Florida, highlighting their long-standing friendships and vibrant social lives. Production is expected to begin this spring, with an air date targeted for later in 2026.
Morgan revealed that she remains optimistic about Medley’s potential involvement, stating, ‘It’s not over till the fat lady sings.’ She suggested that Medley’s absence might be due to the show’s focus on positive, satirical comedy rather than negative comments, referencing past on-air conflicts. However, Morgan clarified that she and Medley are on good terms and that there is no one she wouldn’t want to film with.
In addition to Medley, Morgan teased possible appearances from other RHONY alumni such as Jules Wainstein, Aviva Drescher, and even Bethenny Frankel, although insiders have indicated Frankel has moved on from reality TV. Morgan emphasized the importance of genuine friendships among the cast, noting that she has known her co-stars for decades, predating their television fame.
Regarding her personal life, Morgan shared insights into her dating adventures, using tools like ChatGPT to identify red flags in potential partners. She also touched on the sale of her iconic New York townhouse in 2024, acknowledging fan curiosity about her moves. Morgan expressed excitement about showcasing a different side of Ramona Singer, whom she described as misunderstood and often taken out of context during their RHONY days.
The reunion of these OG Housewives comes after Bravo’s decision to revamp RHONY with a new cast, leading to the original stars seeking new opportunities. Page Six exclusively reported the deal with E!, marking a significant shift for the beloved reality TV personalities. Morgan highlighted that the show aims to present a fun, uplifting narrative, focusing on the camaraderie and shared history of the group.
Looking ahead, ‘The Golden Life’ is poised to offer fans a fresh perspective on these familiar faces as they embark on new adventures in Florida. Morgan’s candid discussion on the podcast has generated buzz, with audiences eager to see how the dynamics unfold on screen. The series promises to blend humor, drama, and heartfelt moments, capturing the essence of friendship in later life.
