Meet the Rumored Cast of ‘The Real Housewives of Rhode Island’

Bravo is bringing its signature blend of glamour, gossip, and group tension to the Ocean State with its franchise entry, “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.” The network has yet to confirm the cast. But rumors and social media sightings are already fueling anticipation for what could be one of the franchise’s most close-knit and dynamic ensembles yet.

Meet the Rumored Cast of ‘The Real Housewives of Rhode Island’

Multiple outlets, including Bravo, tipster Dorinda Deadly shared what appears to be the first look at RHORI’s lineup. The alleged cast includes Brianna LaTorre, Jo-Ellen Tiberi, Elizabeth McGraw, Monique Pass, Rosie Woods, Alicia Carmody, Stephanie Costa, and Kelsey Swanson.

Bravo hasn’t officially announced the ensemble, but Reality Blurb is reporting that the women were recently spotted together at a Boston mall. The sighting has sparked speculation that filming is already underway.

“Set against the shores of the Ocean State, ‘The Real Housewives’ franchise expands into the world of a tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations,” the network shared on X.

“With aspirational lives, thriving businesses, and tangled family dynamics, these decade-long friendships prove that in a state this small, there’s no escaping your past … or each other.”

The Rumored Cast Is Bringing Their Own Flair and Rhode Island Pedigree

LaTorre is a nurse practitioner and master injector, which could possibly make her the group’s go-to beauty expert. Tiberi is a mother of three who is married to loan officer Gary Tiberi. McGraw is a former model who shares bloodlines with MLB Hall of Famer John McGraw.

Pass is married to retired NFL player Patrick Pass and is a proud mom of two daughters. Woods is a former news anchor and the host of “Rhode Trippin.” She also moonlights as a DJ and emcee. Woods is married to Rich DiMare, a jazz singer and Frank Sinatra impersonator.

Carmody is a hairstylist and mother, while Costa is a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in skin care procedures. She tied the knot with physician’s assistant Paul Mallari in September 2024. Rounding out the group is Swanson, a makeup and hairstyling pro who won Miss Rhode Island USA in 2017.

Could Delores Catania Make the Jump to ‘Real Housewives of Rhode Island’

In a twist that could shake up not one, but two Housewives franchises, rumors are swirling that “Real Housewives of New Jersey” fan favorite Dolores Catania might join the RHORI cast.

According to the Deux/U podcast, multiple sources have claimed that Catania is considering a move to Rhode Island and would seamlessly integrate with the Providence-based group.

One insider told the podcast, “Dolores is already connected to at least one or two of the new cast members. It wouldn’t be a surprise if she made the jump—especially with RHONJ on pause and Bravo dragging their feet.”

The Catania casting rumor lines up with what Andy Cohen recently told Page Six. He said that the RHORI cast was “incredible” and “very Italian.” He added that it “does kind of remind you of early ‘Jersey’ in a weird way.”

“Rhode Island is such a small state, and they all kind of know each other and overlap, and it’s an incredible group of women who have really interesting connections. I think it’s going to really surprise people,” Cohen said.

The executive producer also compared it to RHONJ, noting it was even “more Italian” with “deep families.”
