AceShowbiz - Dr. Nicole Martin, the 40-year-old board-certified anesthesiologist, has not been part of the recent filming for "The Real Housewives of Miami" (RHOM), which insiders revealed began this Tuesday, September 10. While the reasons for her potential departure remain unclear, astute followers noticed that Martin has removed "RHOM" from her Instagram bio. Page Six was the first to report this development.
As the rest of last season's full-time stars, Alexia Nepola, Lisa Hochstein, Larsa Pippen, Julia Lemigova and Guerdy Abraira, as well as cast friends like Adriana de Moura, Marysol Patton and Kiki Barth resumed shooting, Martin's absence was conspicuous. Alongside these familiar faces, a few new faces are expected to join soon, and producers will later decide who will secure a coveted mojito, symbolizing a main role, versus a part-time appearance.
Despite immediate uncertainties surrounding Martin's involvement, her personal life has seen significant developments. Earlier this year in March, Martin and her fiance Anthony Lopez welcomed their second child, a daughter named Genevieve. Martin shared with her Instagram followers that both mother and baby were recovering well from what turned out to be an earlier-than-expected C-section. The couple also shares a 5-year-old son, Greyson. Lopez, an insurance attorney and recreational pilot, has been Martin's steadfast partner through challenging and triumphant times alike.
Martin's three seasons on "RHOM" were eventful, encompassing everything from the sale of their Coral Gables mega-mansion to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos' parents for $34 million, to the purchase and renovation of another lavish $21.5 million estate. Among other personal storylines, her strained relationship with her father, who passed away suddenly in November 2023, was poignantly captured on the show.
The absence of Bravo's response to requests for comment leaves fans speculating about the reasons behind Martin’s uncertain future with the show. As viewers await further updates, the dynamics of "RHOM" might witness significant shifts, keeping the intrigue alive for the upcoming season.
