• Nneka Ihim is leaving The Real Housewives of Potomac after just one season to focus on expanding her family with her husband.
• Nneka mentioned that she built lifetime friendships during her time on the show but decided to prioritize starting a family.
• Candiace Dillard Bassett and Robyn Dixon have also confirmed their exits from RHOP, making Nneka the third Housewife to leave amid a major cast shakeup.
Here is what happened:
Nneka Ihim, the latest addition to “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” has announced her departure from the Bravo reality series after just one season as a full-time cast member. The 36-year-old confirmed her decision, stating that she will not be returning for season nine of the show. Despite leaving the TV show, Nneka expressed gratitude for the friendships she built with incredible women during her time on the series.
One of the main reasons for Nneka’s departure is her focus on expanding her family. She and her husband, Dr. Ikenna Ihim, are in the midst of trying to conceive their first child. After facing multiple failed fertility procedures, Nneka has decided to prioritize expanding her family over continuing on the reality show. She expressed appreciation for the fans who supported her throughout her difficult journey of infertility, especially in light of her experience with IUI turned IVF.
Nneka is not the only Housewife to leave “The Real Housewives of Potomac” recently. Following a tumultuous season eight, Candiace Dillard Bassett and O.G. costar Robyn Dixon have also confirmed their exits from the show. The cast shakeup has stirred speculation among fans about the future of other Housewives on the series, including Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Karen Huger, Mia Thornton, and Wendy Osefo, whose fates on the show have yet to be confirmed by Bravo.
