NeNe Leakes is making a triumphant return!

The former star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is set to make her much-anticipated comeback to Bravo. This follows an exclusive report from Page Six about her negotiations to appear in “The Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip.”

In a heartfelt video shared on Instagram on Wednesday, the 58-year-old Leakes expressed her excitement, saying, “This has been a really long, long journey.” Her enthusiasm was palpable as she continued, “I’m happy, overjoyed, to say that I will be returning to Bravo. I almost can’t even believe the words that are coming out of my mouth. I’m so happy. I’m just so happy.”

Leakes also took a moment to acknowledge the efforts of the showrunners and producers, including executive Andy Cohen, who played pivotal roles in facilitating her return. She expressed gratitude to those who “worked to make this happen” and have “continued to throw [her] name in the ring over and over again.”

She went on to thank all the showrunners and producers — including executive Andy Cohen — who have “worked to make this happen” and “continued to throw [her] name in the ring over and over again.”

That includes her former co-stars Porsha Williams, whom she described as her “little sister,” and Phaedra Parks.

“I’m really grateful for that,” Leakes gushed, going on to shout, “I’m just doggone excited to do this! I’m excited to see all of you girls. It’s going to be a tiiiiime! YES! Bitches, I am back. Now pick your faces up off the floor, OK? See you on Bravo. Love you!”

Among a sea of celebratory comments beneath the post was Cohen’s, which read, “Couldn’t celebrate 20 years without you 👏,” as the forthcoming spinoff show aligns with the 20th anniversary of the “Real Housewives” franchise.

He went on to tell his radio show listeners, “She’s gonna be making an appearance. When we go to Atlanta, she’s gonna be there. … People are really happy about it. Listen, we are going to be celebrating 20 years of ‘Housewives,’ and it would be hard … to without her. And so I’m happy about it.”

Last month, Page Six revealed that Leakes was negotiating her return to Bravo for the next installment of “Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip,” expected to film early this year.

Cohen, 57, announced the show in November 2025 at BravoCon, during which he also revealed that he and Leakes had actually “texted a few months ago.”

Her network comeback is significant.

As fans remember, Leakes quit “RHOA” — despite her OG status — in September 2020.

“I have been on an extremely, extremely long, exhausting, tiring, emotional negotiation,” she announced at the time, explaining that “there’s been a lot of emotion flying from both sides.”

She ultimately made the “very hard and very difficult decision” to exit the show ahead of Season 13.

In April 2022, the mother of two filed a bombshell lawsuit against Bravo, Cohen and associated companies, accusing them of “foster[ing] a corporate and workplace culture in which racially insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated — if not, encouraged.”

Leakes alleged that her complaints of racism led in part to her being “forced” out of the “house she built.”

However, after four months of “negotiating” between the parties, Leakes filed to dismiss the case “without prejudice,” giving her the ability to reopen it at a later time.
