Kenya Moore Returning to 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' for Season 16

Kenya Moore is "gone with the wind fabulous," and she’s returning for another season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta!

On Friday, the 53-year-old reality star took to Instagram to post a video announcing her return for season 16, saying, "I may be Hone With the Wind Fabulous, but I'm not Going anywhere!"

Moore then say's, "I'm not going anywhere" as she takes a bite out of a peach. 

The former Miss USA winner told ET in February, "If I get an offer -- if I have an offer -- you'll know it when Bravo announces it." 

Moore made the choice once before to walk away from the Bravo series, sitting out season 11 as she focused on her then-new marriage to now-ex-husband Marc Daly and her pregnancy with now-5-year-old daughter Brooklyn. 

"Everything has its season," she told ET. "You can't have one, single job forever, for the rest of your life, at least most people don't. You have to follow your heart, and in this time where I just feel liberated, you know? I finally have been granted a divorce, I finally got the most beautiful child I ever wanted -- everything that's on my vision board comes true, for the most part -- and I feel like when it's time for me to move on, I'll just know, and it'll be a happy moment. It won't be sad. It will mean that I am taking a step in a different direction, and I would hope that everyone would support me in that."

BScott was the first to report on Moore’s season 16 return. 

RHOA's 15th season wrapped up its run in September. Historically, the ladies launched back into production soon after their finale aired, but cameras have yet to go back up in the ATL as Bravo creatively retool for season 16. 

During the March 14 episode of his Sirius XM show, Andy Cohen Live, Bravo host Andy Cohen confirmed that Sanya Richards-Ross, 39, decided to step away from the series after Kandi Burruss and Marlo Hampton were previously confirmed to be exiting.

Richards-Ross' exit from the franchise came after Burruss, 47, first shared with ET at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards in early February that she would not be returning to the show after 14 seasons. She is the longest-running Housewife in the franchise's history. 

"I've been going back and forth and I think because they gave us such a long break, I had a lot of time to do other things and I've got some big announcements to make coming soon, so yeah," Burruss explained. "I mean, I love the girls, they're my friends, I'm still gonna see them and hang out with them. And Bravo is my family, I love them as well, but you know." 

Weeks later, Hampton, 48, also confirmed she was leaving the series ahead of season 16, telling People that her contract with the long-running Bravo series ended at the end of season 15, which wrapped filming in January 2023. 

It's currently unclear if season 15 cast members  Shereé Whitfield and Drew Sidora are planning to return for season 16 and when the new season of RHOA will start filming.
