Share and Follow

Rachel Zoe has recently captured the public’s attention alongside Rodger Berman’s new partner, Bree Jacoby, almost two years following her separation from Berman.

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was married to Berman for 26 years before announcing their impending divorce in September 2024.

“After spending 33 years together and 26 years as a married couple, Rodger and I have mutually decided to part ways,” Zoe revealed on Instagram at that time. “We take immense pride in the family we have built and cherish the countless memories we have shared.”

She further emphasized, “Our children remain our top priority, and we are dedicated to co-parenting our boys while continuing to collaborate on our various joint ventures. We kindly request privacy as we transition into this new phase of our lives.”

In July 2025, Us Weekly reported that Zoe officially submitted divorce papers, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Later, in February 2026, Zoe expressed optimism on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, hoping that the couple would finalize their divorce agreement “soon.”

What Did Rachel Zoe Say About Bree Jacoby on ‘RHOBH’?

On the Bravo reality show, Rachel Zoe complained to costar Dorit Kemsley about Rodger Berman declaring his love for his new girlfriend on her birthday via Instagram. Zoe suggested on the show that Berman was trying to deliberately irritate her because her and Bree Jacoby’s birthdays are days apart and both are stylists.

What Did Bree Jacoby Reply to Rachel Zoe After Her Comment on ‘RHOBH’?

After the RHOBH episode aired, Bree Jacoby took to social media to publicly respond and repost a clip of Rachel Zoe and Dorit Kemsley from the Bravo episode.

“Leave me the f*** alone… What’s so insane?” Jacoby wrote in a series of Instagram Stories on Friday, April 10. “You did not want to be married and said it yourself you wish you left 7 years ago. You’re acting like a jealous woman. Get a new story line. I’m not going anywhere. So get used to it.”

“Since so many of my friends reached out I want to set the record [straight],” Jacoby explained via Instagram. “My birthday is sept 2 (1 day after her) not 3. We have been dating for almost 2 years. I’m actually a business woman who happens to style – not a celebrity stylist. But you do you girl. Respect.”

Jacoby claimed that she met Zoe and Berman’s two children — sons Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 12 — “a year after dating” their dad. She then dismissively called Zoe “a great actor” but insisted she was “sick of her storyline.”

“I actually don’t care about anything other than the kids and my relationship. I wish her the best and to find love and happiness,” Jacoby wrote. “I would be a modern family. But she can’t do it. It’s very sad. But that’s her own issue. We are better than the drama. But I’m really getting tired of this portrayal of him and of me. It’s not true. Rodger is an incredible father might I add. And an incredible boyfriend. Best human.”

In a later post, Jacoby encouraged others to send her messages to Zoe, alleging the RHOBH cast member “blocked” her once she started seeing Berman.

“The issue is that she takes zero accountability for her own behavior and is absolutely awful to me (calls me trash),” she concluded. “Bad press is good press so keep talking. But if you’re gonna talk. At least be a woman and talk to me direct. Like I said – I ain’t going anywhere. See ya at the bar mitzvah.”

Us Weekly reached out to Zoe’s representative for comment at the time.

Has Rachel Zoe Been Spotted Since the Drama?

One day after Bree Jacoby’s public statement, Rachel Zoe stepped out at the 2026 Coachella festival and posed for the camera while attending Neon Carnival Presented by Rivian and LaCroix Sparkling Water. The RHOBH star stunned in black pants, which she paired with a gold belt and white fur coat with a shimmering gold necklace. She styled her hair down in loose waves.
