AceShowbiz - On the latest episode of SiriusXM's "Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa", "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards revealed her dream castmate: Hilaria Baldwin, wife of actor Alec Baldwin.
Richards, 55, said, "She lives in New York, but maybe she would move," noting that Baldwin has expressed interest in a reality TV show about their family life.
Ripa and co-host Jan Schillay were intrigued by the suggestion, pointing out that the Baldwins' family could provide compelling content for the show. Schillay noted, "They're looking for a reality show. He told us."
Richards admitted she had previously discussed the possibility of Baldwin joining the cast with Alec Baldwin a few years ago. She said Baldwin had indicated that while they were living in New York, he had not ruled out the possibility of his wife joining "RHOBH" in the future.
Ripa joked, "Jan's calling Andy [Cohen] right now as we speak," referring to the "Real Housewives" executive producer. "That would be amazing television."
In November 2023, a source told PEOPLE that Alec Baldwin, 65, and Hilaria, 40, were pitching a family reality show that would provide an inside look at their life. The couple has eight children together, including seven with Hilaria and one with Alec's ex-wife, Kim Basinger.
Alec Baldwin told Ripa that he was eager to work from home more and that a reality show would allow his family to remain in New York while continuing to work.
There is an open spot on "RHOBH" following the departure of Annemarie Wiley earlier this month. Ripa believes that Hilaria Baldwin would be a great addition to the show, given her interesting personal history and her experience raising a large family.
