Sheree Zampino has joined the season 12 cast of Bravoβs βReal Housewives of Beverly Hills.β
Sheree, who is an actress and the ex-wife of Hollywood star Will Smith, is good friends with current cast member Garcelle Beauvais. She has been cast as a βfriend ofβ the show.
Bravo has decided not to ax any of the ladies meaning Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, Crystal Kung Minkoff and Kathy Hilton will all be returning next season.
Sheree was married to Smith from 1992 to 1995. She is the mother of his 29-year-old son, Trey Smith. Sheree and the Smiths have successfully co-parented for years.
βAt the time I got divorced, it was a long, long, long time ago,β Sheree explained to Fox News last November. βSocial media wasnβt even in existence. So I didnβt deal with it in such a public way. When we got divorced, it was obvious that we didnβt work. But now, itβs about our son. Iβm telling you, we made the shift beautifully.β
She added: βIβm not saying it was problem-free and we didnβt encounter any bumps. But I think that in terms of co-parenting, weβre more successful, a lot more successful actually, than in a marriage dynamic. We were put on this Earth to be co-parents. Thatβs what we did and thatβs what weβre doing. We love each other and itβs been amazing. Itβs been a blessing.β
Diana Jenkins will also join the show as a full-time Housewife. Diana is a mother of three and the founder, chair, and CEO of Neuro Brandsβs lifestyle drink.
