RHONY’s Sai De Silva Promises Deep New Layers for Season 16
Sai De Silva, star of The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY), is already generating buzz just weeks into filming the show’s 16th season. The 45-year-old reality star confidently told Us Weekly at the New York City Ballet 2026 Spring Gala that fans will be “pleasantly surprised” by the personal stories and fresh sides they’ll see this season.
“There’s a ton of personal story,” Sai confirmed, adding, “I think there are layers that people haven’t seen before, and you’re really going to get to understand us.” The popular Bravo series, currently streaming on Peacock, confirmed the cast will include Sai alongside Erin Lichy and Jessel Taank, while newcomers Hailey Glassman, Erika Hammond, and Daisy Toye join the lineup. Former cast member Carole Radziwill returns as a “friend of” the show.
Martha Stewart Cameo Could Light Up RHONY Season 16
Perhaps the most exciting development for RHONY fans is the possible cameo from lifestyle icon Martha Stewart. Sources reported earlier this month that Stewart, who is close friends with newcomer Daisy Toye, was seen filming with the Housewives. Sai remained coy but confirmed with a smile, “I think we might be seeing her, allegedly.”
This surprising collaboration adds star power and glamour just as Sai noted how the new cast members “add a lot of humor” and “bring back some of the old RHONY vibe.” The season is shaping up to showcase New York City’s iconic backdrop and further deepen the friendships on-screen, especially among Sai, Jessel, and Erin, who she says have grown closer over time.
Gala Highlights and Sai’s Upcoming Product Launch
While cameras weren’t rolling, Sai and her daughter London made a striking appearance at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center for the NYC Ballet gala, which raised $3.2 million to support the ballet’s repertory and educational outreach programs. This high-profile event reflects the ongoing prominence of Sai outside of reality TV.
On top of RHONY, Sai revealed she is “just getting started” for 2026 and teased a new product launch this September. “It is going to be delicious, and I’m so excited for everyone to see that,” she shared, promising fans even more surprises to come.
What’s Next for RHONY Season 16?
Season 16’s premiere date remains unannounced by Bravo, but anticipation is building as Sai De Silva assures a fresh and authentic look into the ladies of New York City. With new cast chemistry, a potential Martha Stewart cameo, and deeper storylines, this season promises to be a must-watch for fans across the country, including in Ohio where reality TV viewership remains strong.
The Real Housewives of New York City continues to stream on Peacock, with more updates expected soon.
