On Display, On Fyah & Feelin’ Jovani: ‘The Real Housewives’ & Andy Cohen Take Us Inside 20 Years of Bravo-Fueled Music

Join the celebration of 20 years of Bravo's hit reality TV show, The Real Housewives. The franchise has been a staple of pop culture, known for its dramatic cattiness, aspirational wealth, and exploration of female friendship dynamics. Recently, Whitney Rose from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City surprised fans by revealing she's still sad about the lack of new music. Ex-housewife Brandi Glanville has also officially released her first single, "Life of a Housewife."

As the franchise marks its 20th anniversary, Bravo is commemorating the milestone with The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, a nine-episode anniversary series. The show features iconic women from across the nation, including New York City, Atlanta, Beverly Hills, and Miami.

One of the original housewives, Jo De La Rosa, turned her reality TV experiences into a music career. De La Rosa, a 26-year-old from Southern California, was an original cast member of The Real Housewives of Orange County. She aspired to become a songwriter for pop stars and eventually signed a record deal, releasing her debut album, Unscripted, in 2008. De La Rosa's big break came when her song "Rumors" was featured in an episode of MTV's The Hills.
