What to Expect From Bravo's Nepo Baby Reality Show
Bravo is making a big bet on the Gen Z offspring of some of the most famous stars from its 'Real Housewives' franchise. The network released a trailer this week for 'Next Gen NYC,' a show that will follow the lives of four young reality scions and their influencer peers as they navigate work, life and love in Manhattan. For the reality connoisseurs among us, try to imagine 'Rich Kids of Beverly Hills' meets 'NYC Prep.' For everyone else, here's a primer. Who's on the show? The cast features the offspring of four 'Real Housewives': Ariana Biermann and Riley Burruss, the daughters of the former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' stars Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kandi Burruss; Brooks Marks, the son of the 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' favorite Meredith Marks; and Gia Giudice, the daughter of the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' legend Teresa Giudice. The rest of the cast is made up of a handful of influencers and so-called nepo babies, including Ava Dash, a daughter of the record executive Damon Dash and the fashion designer Rachel Roy; Emira D'Spain, a model and influencer who will be Bravo's first full-time trans cast member; Georgia McCann, a creative strategist Bravo describes as 'New York's ultimate Gen Z It girl'; Charlie Zakkour, a crypto trader and club kid; Hudson McLeroy, Ms. Biermann's on-again, off-again boyfriend and the heir to the fast-food chain Zaxby's; and Shai Fruchter, an assistant at the Wall Group. What kind of drama can be expected? 'Next Gen NYC' looks relatively restrained compared with the high-stakes drama on some of the editions of 'Real Housewives.' (Legal battles! Shocking divorces! Physical altercations!) But the show has teased Ms. Dash and Ms. Biermann feuding over fashion, and Ms. Biermann cursing out Mr. Marks as Ms. Giudice deadpans, 'This is so stupid.' There's also the drama inherent to being a young New York transplant, such as Ms. Biermann declaring she's 'absolutely petrified' riding the subway, or Ms. Burruss accidentally tossing her phone into the Hudson River. Will there be any 'Real Housewives' cameos? According to Bravo, there will be plenty — and that's probably what they're counting on to boost audience numbers. All of the Housewives whose children appear on the show are slated to make appearances. In the trailer, which was released this week, viewers get a glimpse into Mr. Marks's 'tumultuous work relationship' with his mother and at Ms. Zolciak-Biermann balking at a $14,000 night out. Seth Marks, the husband of Ms. Marks and father of Brooks, also factors heavily into the trailer, asking his son awkward questions about his sex life and saying he's attached to his mother 'like a little baby kangaroo.' Will it be worth watching? Honestly, this series feels like a deep cut. People who are not Bravo obsessives should approach with caution. But for those who can rattle off every Housewife by memory, the show premieres June 3 at 9 p.m. Eastern time on Bravo and will be available on Peacock the following day.

Kim Zolciak demands psychological evaluation for Kroy Biermann amid ongoing divorce battle
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak and former Atlanta Falcons player Kroy Biermann's relationship has taken another dramatic turn, with Biermann filing for divorce for the third time. In court documents filed in Cobb County, Georgia, Biermann claims their marriage is 'irretrievably broken,' following Zolciak's recent move from Fulton County. The filing came after Zolciak, 46, raised concerns that Biermann may be suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease common among former football players. Zolciak suggests that Biermann's erratic and violent behavior could be linked to CTE, urging the court to have him undergo an evaluation. She cited statistics showing the prevalence of the disease among retired NFL players. The couple, who married in 2011, initially filed for divorce in May 2023 but called it off. They filed again in August 2023, and the latest divorce filing occurred in early 2025. Their ongoing separation has been riddled with controversies, including financial struggles and allegations of abuse. Their once luxurious Milton mansion, which had been at risk of foreclosure three times, was recently sold for nearly half its original $6 million asking price. A judge also implemented a "closet schedule" to ensure limited interaction between the estranged couple. Biermann, 39, is seeking primary custody of their four minor children, who currently live with him. Both Zolciak and Biermann have filed for psychological evaluations as part of their ongoing custody and property battle, with court proceedings expected to continue in the coming months.
