The last time Kim Zolciak<\/a> was a full-time Housewife on The Real Housewives of Atlanta<\/a>\u00a0was in Season 5. But, the mom of six has made some guest appearances on the show over the years, including most recently\u00a0on\u00a0RHOA\u00a0Season 15<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, of course, she is still friends with some\u00a0Housewives\u00a0to this day. Kim appeared on\u00a0Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen<\/a>\u00a0on July 31, where she opened up about the current\u00a0RHOA\u00a0cast member she still keeps in contact with today.<\/p>\n

Kim also revealed that she is very good friends with\u00a0The Real Housewives of Orange County<\/a>\u00a0Season 19 friend\u00a0Gretchen Rossi<\/a>. The two go way back, as they appeared<\/a> on the very first season of\u00a0WWHL\u00a0together in 2009.<\/p>\n

“If Kim Zolciak comes back, I think that would be very interesting,” she admitted. “Kim is TV gold. She’s always been TV gold. Right now, she has a lot going on. Who would’ve thought Kim, who went from two daughters, now has got a whole little basketball team of children!”<\/p>\n

“I feel like we could definitely bring them and reconnect them together,” Ariana added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During a July appearance on\u00a0WWHL\u00a0alongside Riley, Kandi admitted that she\u00a0could possibly\u00a0see herself reuniting with Kim<\/a>. “I don’t see Kim ever,” she said. “But, because Riley and Ariana are friends,” there is a chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When rating the likelihood of Kandi and Kim reuniting, Riley gave it a “seven” out of 10. Kandi, on the other hand, gave it a “two” out of ten.<\/p>\n

RHOA\u00a0Season 16 friend\u00a0Cynthia Bailey<\/a>\u00a0spoke with\u00a0The Daily Dish\u00a0in April, where she revealed that she had recently hung out Kim while filming another reality show. During their time filming while stuck in a house together, Cynthia and Kim were roommates, where they got closer than they had been<\/a> before, with Kim confiding in Cynthia about\u00a0her ongoing divorce<\/a> from Kroy Biermann<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We definitely talked,” Cynthia explained. “She’s very open about where she’s at with her relationship with Kroy. And it really kind of made me sad because we were on the show together, although we were never close when we first met. And I kind of followed the whole journey, watching her life and the beautiful kids and all the things.”<\/p>\n

She continued, admitting they walked out of the experience “as friends.” “Because it is, like, no matter with you’re ups and downs with Housewives, this is a sorority,” she said. “It’s a sisterhood. This being a Housewife is not for the weak. And if anybody can do it for as long as we were able to do it, we deserve to be friends.”<\/p>\n
