It looks like Jennifer Aydin’s time in the Garden State spotlight may have come to an end. After six seasons of unforgettable one-liners, family feuds, and over-the-top parties, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star says she hasn’t heard a word about returning for Season 15, and she’s totally fine with that.
In a candid Instagram video shared on October 30, the 48-year-old reality star opened up about her uncertain future with the show. “A lot of you have been asking me if I’m still on the [show] or not,” Jennifer told her followers. “I can honestly say that nobody has told me anything. And they still haven’t told me anything. But I haven’t checked either. Life’s been pretty busy.”
True to her signature no-filter approach, Jennifer admitted she only started thinking about her Housewives fate when fans brought it up. “I would only think about it when people asked, which is why I would’ve liked to have known so I can let you guys know,” she said. “You know me, I like to keep it real.”
She added, “All I’ve heard is what you’ve heard. You probably know more than me, actually. I’ve heard they are test filming. And I wasn’t invited to BravoCon. So by the looks of it, I think it’s safe to say, probably not. And that’s OK. I’m good.”
That “not invited to BravoCon” line definitely raised eyebrows among fans — especially since it’s the biggest Housewives event of the year. But if Jennifer’s upset, she’s not showing it.
In another post, she reflected on how her exit might have gone down behind the scenes. “Maybe that’s how they fire people these days, [by] just moving on without telling the person. Maybe it’s awkward for them. I don’t know,” she said. “But if they did tell me, I would’ve said, ‘Thanks for letting me know, and thanks so much for the journey — wish you guys the best!’ And I mean that. I’ll always be grateful for my time on the show. It was quite the experience, to say the least.”
Jennifer joined RHONJ back in 2018 for Season 9, quickly becoming known for her lavish lifestyle, quick wit, and her habit of saying exactly what was on her mind. Now, she’s moving on to a new kind of spotlight — podcasting.
“So it’s time to keep it moving … and I got a podcast!” she revealed. “It’s called TV Gold and it’s not about Housewives lol … Of course, I’ll touch on it at times since it was such a big part of my life, but the podcast is more going to be about pop culture, entertainment, fashion, health, wellness, and beauty! All with a flare of funny, handled by yours truly, Jennifer Aydin.”
And if you’re wondering where her head’s at these days, she left fans with one final takeaway: “Message of the day: Don’t live in the past … Learn from it and move forward.”
