Before TikTok drama and private school scandals filled the internet, Bravo gave viewers “NYC Prep”—a real-life version of “Gossip Girl” that aired for one unforgettable season in 2009. The show followed six privileged Manhattan teens as they navigated designer fashion, elite schools, and too many social events to count.
Though “NYC Prep” lasted only eight episodes, its stars left a lasting impression. And now, with the series available to stream on Peacock, fans are wondering: where are they now?
Peter Cary “PC” Peterson: From ‘NYC Prep’ Teen Heartthrob to Vegas Groom
PC Peterson, the grandson of billionaire Pete Peterson, was “NYC Prep’s” answer to Chuck Bass, complete with brooding energy, scarves, and sharp one-liners. Though he originally said the show was “good practice” for an acting career, he pivoted to photography instead.
According to E! News, in 2018, PC made headlines for marrying his best friend Quentin Esme Brown in Las Vegas. The unconventional wedding, attended by Tiffany Trump and EJ Johnson, was described as “pure friendship,” with Esme clarifying on Instagram: “We have never had sex. It’s pure friendship.”
Esme filed for divorce in 2020, and the pair have since moved on. PC now lives between New York and Byron Bay and works as a photographer. He keeps a low profile, with no public social media presence.
Jessie Leavitt and Camille Hughes: Fashion Dreams Realized
Jessie Leavitt, the show’s Queen Bee, fulfilled her fashion ambitions after graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology. She now works as a visual merchandiser for a luxury brand and married investment analyst Jason Brown in 2019. Her brother, Rabbi Noah Leavitt, officiated the ceremony.
Camille Isobel Hughes, “NYC Prep’s” overachiever, didn’t make it into Harvard but graduated from the College of William and Mary. She moved to California, married Michael Paquette in 2022, and welcomed her son, Charlie, in 2023. Hughes now works in product development at Petco.
Sebastian Oppenheim: From ‘NYC Prep’ Ladies’ Man to Family Man
Known for his hair flips and flirty reputation, Sebastian Oppenheim stayed connected to Bravo, briefly working as a production assistant for “Watch What Happens Live” in 2013.
In 2019, he married food host Skyler Bouchard. The couple welcomed their son Arlo in 2023. Oppenheim now works in real estate as the head of real estate at Rove.
“I haven’t kept in touch with the cast,” he told Bravo in 2015. “We’ve all grown up and gone our separate ways.”
Kelli Tomashoff and Taylor DiGiovanni: Off the Grid and Behind the Scenes
Kelli Brooke Tomashoff, known for her musical aspirations and dramatic family setup, released a dance single called “Gave Up on Love” in 2011. After studying at The New School, she worked at Arista Records in publicity, but has since stayed mostly out of the spotlight.
Taylor DiGiovanni, the lone public school student on the cast, sparked controversy just by existing in the same social circles. After the show, she vanished from public life and keeps a private Instagram account.
