Rebecca Minkoff won’t be back for Season 16 of “The Real Housewives of New York City.”

The “friend” of the cast confirmed her exit from the Bravo show via Instagram Tuesday amid speculation she was on her way out.

“2025 is a new beginning for me and with current events in the world, I am reminded the importance of family, friends and community now more than ever,” the fashion designer, 44, began in her lengthy statement.

Minkoff went on to share her intention to “focus on” her “supportive husband,” Gavin Bellour, their four kids — daughter Bowie and sons Luca, Nico and Leonardo — and her career.

“As much as I have learned along the way with this franchise and fans, I want to reprioritize what means the most to me: designing, giving back, supporting women and raising my family,” she added.

The entrepreneur called herself “truly grateful for the experience, the friendships and the fans that have been part of [her] ‘RHONY’ chapter” since she joined the cast last year as a close friend.

“Time to turn the page,” Minkoff concluded.

She captioned the social media upload with a hashtag highlighting her “new chapter.”

A rep for the network has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

In April 2024, Page Six revealed that Minkoff had been filming the series in Manhattan.

The businesswoman had a recurring role on the show, alongside Jenna Lyons, Brynn Whitfield, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jessel Taank, Racquel Chevremont and Sai De Silva.

“It’s fun, funny with a little bit of a drama,” Minkoff told the Post in October 2024.

She sparked controversy during her brief stint on the show for faking a pregnancy in a November 2024 episode with Lichy’s help.

Minkoff admitted during Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” live show the following month that the hoax was a “big mistake on [her] part.”

In the December 2024 interview, she noted, “You know what, in hindsight — terrible subject matter. I own it. … Like, bad idea.”
