We’re heading back to the Big Apple for The Real Housewives of New York City Season 16. Much like the Housewives over in Salt Lake City, this cast has been rocked by breakups, scandals, and plenty of off-camera drama. Then again, at this point, which Real Housewives franchise hasn’t?!
After the original series was put on pause, RHONY returned with a reboot a few years ago. Now, Season 16 is shaking things up once again, with one pre-reboot Housewife making her return alongside the newer cast. It’s a mix of familiar faces and fresh personalities, basically the perfect recipe for chaos.
This is, after all, the franchise that gave us Bethenny Frankel, “It’s about Tom,” Aviva Drescher throwing her prosthetic leg across a table, and countless other iconic reality TV moments.
Before diving into RHONY Season 16, here’s a breakdown of the cast’s husbands, partners, and kids.

Sai De Silva
Sai De Silva is the founder of Scout the City, the lifestyle and fashion blog she launched in 2014.
Sai met her husband, David Craig, during a trip to Costa Rica in 2009, and the couple married in June 2017. After 17 years together, however, their relationship has come to an end. The 2026 housewife curse continues! David filed for divorce in early April after nine years of marriage, and Sai has been open about navigating the split.
“I’m in a really good place now,” she told Page Six Radio. “I think at first I was a little shaken up and a little bit upset. I respect David so much. That’s somebody I’ve been with for 17 years. He’s the father of my kids. I never want this to be seen in a way like, ‘I can’t stand him, and we’re so angry with each other.’”
David rarely appeared on RHONY or on Sai’s social media, with the pair largely keeping their relationship out of the spotlight. They share two children, London, 14, and Rio, 8.
Season 16 will follow Sai as she navigates the breakdown of her marriage while doing everything she can to protect her children through the divorce.

Carole Radziwill
Carole Radziwill is an award-winning journalist and bestselling author who worked for ABC News from 1986 to 2002. She previously starred on The Real Housewives of New York City from Seasons 5 through 10 before returning as a full-time Housewife for Season 16.
The new season will follow Carole as she navigates new relationships while reflecting on the lasting impact of losing her late husband, Prince Anthony Radziwill, who died in 1999 from cancer.
Carole is currently single. Last year, she revealed she felt “free” after ending a relationship that ultimately couldn’t survive long distance and their age gap. Rumors swirled that it was Harry Styles, but there is literally no evidence of that except one brief interaction at a wedding.

Jessel Taank
Jessel Taank is the founder and CEO of The Know, a boutique branding and consulting agency that specializes in helping emerging brands. She made history as the first Indian Housewife on The Real Housewives of New York City – icon! Born in London to an immigrant family, Jessel later moved to New York to build her career. Shame she isn’t around for The Real Housewives of London.
Jessel is married to Pavit Randhawa, a food influencer and former finance professional whose career pivot became a major storyline on RHONY. They were close friends and platonic roommates in New York City before their relationship turned romantic – roommates to lovers, we love. They married in Mexico in 2014 and share twin sons, Kai and Rio, who were born via IVF in 2021.
Season 16 will follow Jessel as she navigates the grief of losing her father, who died in February 2025, while balancing family life and the demands of this group.

Erin Lichy
Erin Lichy joined The Real Housewives of New York City as part of the reboot cast in Season 14. She first built her career in New York real estate before expanding into interior design and other entrepreneurial ventures. And, like so many reality stars before her, she now has her own alcohol brand: Mezcalum, an all-natural mezcal.
Erin met her husband, Abe Lichy, at a bar. (They’re just like us!) The pair already had a connection, as Abe’s cousin is married to Erin’s childhood best friend. At the time, Erin was studying for the LSAT, but Abe jokingly advised her against becoming a lawyer, saying their relationship didn’t need two attorneys. What a meet-cute. The couple married two years later, in July 2012.
Together, Erin and Abe have four children: Levi, 11, Layla, 8, Elijah, 5, and their youngest, Jack Hunter, who was born in 2025.
Season 15 saw Erin and Abe navigate both financial and marital challenges. One of the biggest points of contention came when Erin discovered Abe had sold their shared Bitcoin investment without consulting her, a revelation that was particularly painful as she was also coping with her mother’s cancer diagnosis.
Despite the bumps in the road, the couple is still going strong. They continue to run their businesses together and cohost the podcast Come Together with Erin + Abe Lichy.

Erika Hammond
Now let’s meet the newcomers to RHONY Season 16, starting with Erika Hammond. Erika is a celebrity fitness trainer and the cofounder of Rumble Boxing, which she launched in 2016. Before becoming a fitness entrepreneur, she was a professional wrestler under the name Veronica Lane. A pro wrestler joining RHONY? Honestly, who would’ve thought?
Erika met her husband, Ankur Jain, when he was taking classes at Rumble Boxing, where she worked as an instructor. The pair crossed paths again a few years later, hit it off, and eventually tied the knot in Egypt in a lavish ceremony reportedly costing $3 million. They said “I do” in front of the Great Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza, with the ceremony officiated by renowned Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass, who is also a friend of Ankur’s.
Ankur is a billionaire entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Bilt Rewards, a company that allows renters to earn rewards on their rent payments. He previously served as Tinder’s VP of Product.
On the show, Erika will open up about the couple’s fertility struggles and their journey to grow their family.

Hailey Glassman
Usually, reality stars have their publicist on speed dial whenever drama erupts. This time, the publicist is the one airing her own dirty laundry.
Hailey Glassman is a public relations professional who also works alongside her father, plastic surgeon Dr. Lawrence Glassman.
She first entered the reality TV spotlight after dating Jon Gosselin shortly following his separation from Kate Gosselin. Hailey met Jon after her father performed a tummy tuck on Kate, a story Kate herself later revealed online. Yikes.
Following their breakup, Hailey appeared on the dating series Sweet Home Alabama, where she said she hoped to repair the “false image” the public had formed of her. The show involved “country boys” and “city guys” competing for one southern bachelorette’s heart.
Based on the Season 16 trailer, Hailey is set to share more about her unconventional love life. “I’m in a lavender marriage,” she says. “I sleep with women intimately as well.” A lavender marriage is typically a marriage of convenience between a man and a woman in which one or both partners are members of the LGBTQ+ community.
It’s unclear whether Hailey’s husband is also queer, as she has never publicly revealed his identity. We’re sure to learn a lot more once the season begins.

Daisy Toye
Lastly, we have the final addition to The Real Housewives of New York City Season 16 cast: Daisy Toye. This is her first reality TV venture, but she’s certainly no stranger to the entertainment world, having worked with one very famous celebrity client for years.
Daisy is the celebrity makeup artist who has been glamming up Martha Stewart for more than a decade. Daisy and Martha have become close friends over the years, taking trips together and celebrating milestones side by side. Daisy is also an influencer who shares content centered around “beauty, style, and motherhood.” Martha as a bestie?! Jealous.
Daisy has been married to Eugene Toye since 2016. Eugene is a hairstylist who has worked at Oscar Blandi Salon at The Plaza Hotel in New York City since 2023. He has also worked with Martha in the past, styling her hair. Clearly, this friendship is a family affair.
The couple shares a son, Quinton, who was born in 2017. Martha even hosted Daisy’s baby shower, and Quinton’s birth was commemorated on her blog. Iconic!
We can’t wait to see the fresh dynamics Daisy brings to the group, and maybe even get an appearance from Martha herself. A girl can dream!
