If you\u2019re already missing \u201cReal Housewives of Miami, we\u2019re here to give you some relief.<\/p>\n
Two of the glammest OGs from the longstanding Bravo show, which is on an indefinite pause<\/a>, will be front and center dishing about all things \u201cRHOM\u201d and beyond.<\/p>\n We\u2019re of course talking about besties Marysol Patton and Alexia Nepola, who will take the stage Tuesday night at the Miami Improv in Doral for \u201cThe Miami Housewives: Live!\u201d<\/p>\n Comedy? Expect a little, because Marysol. But for the most part, the ladies will just be themselves, gabbing (and gossiping) away. TikTok sensation Miguel Luciano, known for his dead-on Housewife impressions, will be there to provide an assist.<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t plan jokes,\u201d Patton tells the Miami Herald. \u201cAlexia and I have a natural funny banter that is completely unplanned and off the cuff.\u201d<\/p>\n As for interaction with you folks, you better believe that will be happening \u2014 so prepare like you\u2019re at \u201cInside the Actor\u2019s Studio.\u201d They\u2019ll take questions, be they about behind the scene antics or insiders-only information, so hit them up. They\u2019re not shy.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is honestly my favorite part, getting to meet the people who have supported us all these seasons,\u201d says Nepola. \u201cWe catch everyone up to speed and answer all the burning questions they\u2019ve been dying to ask.\u201d<\/p>\n The show is unscripted, so expect the unexpected.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s fast, it\u2019s funny, and it\u2019s driven by our real-life friendship,\u201d adds Nepola. \u201cThe audience isn\u2019t just watching, they\u2019re part of the show. It\u2019s very real, very Miami, and very us.\u201d<\/p>\n The crowd is expected to be mostly made up of South Floridians, with a dash of the unknown, i.e. a random fan from elsewhere. (\u201dOnce we had someone drive all the way from Cincinnati for a show in Boca,\u201d Patton says).<\/p>\n So how does the duo feel about their franchise going on break? Collectively, it\u2019s a bummer.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s definitely disappointing for all of us,\u201d says Patton. \u201cI personally love filming, especially with my good friends. It is such an organic experience, because real things are happening to my real friends and we all share in the pain and the laughter together.\u201d<\/p>\n While the unknown status is disheartening, Nepola recalls how the series, first brought to the air in 2011, was once thought to be gone for good only to be resurrected by Peacock in 2021.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s more of a reset, than the end and we always come back stronger,\u201d says the 58-year-old Nepola, who thinks \u201cRHOM\u201d trumps all others.<\/p>\n \u201cMiami\u2019s always been different,\u201d the Cuba native says. \u201cFrom day one, we\u2019ve been a unique franchise with a majority Latina cast. It\u2019s really special that we were highlighting the culture before it became such a focus, and being able to share that with the world is meaningful and impactful.\u201d<\/p>\n Patton is staying active with several projects, including launching a caviar named after her dearly departed mother\/fan favorite Mama Elsa. The 59-year-old also hawks a jewelry line for HSN and is a partner for hair-extension brand Locks and Mane. The onetime publicist to the stars is also helping husband Steve McNamara with a meat and seafood subscription box called Steve\u2019s Prime Meat Club.<\/p>\n Nepola keeps it moving, too.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m always busy I don\u2019t stop, and honestly, I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way,\u201d says the Alexia & Frankie\u2019s Beauty Bar owner. \u201cI love my customers and getting to meet fans who stop by to say hello to us.\u201d<\/p>\n While Real Housewives from myriad cities are known to fight like cats and dogs (and even throw over a table or two), Patton and Nepola have managed to keep their friendship intact throughout all seven seasons. They first met two decades ago while crossing paths in society circles.<\/p>\n Their bond just works. Patton steers clear of much of the drama while focusing on her \u201ccockies,\u201d while Nepola navigates chaos like a boss. Last season, the former magazine editor went through a very public split with real estate mogul Todd Nepola, who later sued Bravo<\/a> for how he was perceived. The $11 million defamation suit was eventually dropped.<\/p>\n Any fellow castmembers they will miss? Probably not fellow OG Adriana De Moura, who dropped a mega bombshell<\/a> during the three-part reunion special. The Brazilian art dealer revealed she had a romantic rendezvous with Julia Lemigova, who is married to tennis legend Martina Navratilova. (We hear their union is unaffected, despite the scandalous headlines).<\/p>\n \u201cThat definitely floored me,\u201d says Patton, who would not go into more specifics.<\/p>\n \u201cLast season was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions, some good and some not so good,\u201d adds Nepola. \u201cBeing on TV together creates a bond no matter what. Some relationships are stronger than others, and I\u2019m OK with that. The people who are meant to be in my life are in it.\u201d<\/p>\n Another thing the local queens can agree on: Andy Cohen is a great boss.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is very hands on,\u201d says Patton. \u201cAnytime I have ever texted or emailed him his response time is immediate, pleasant, lighthearted and always helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMi jefe es el mejor!\u201d Nepola agrees. \u201cHe\u2019s always accessible and open to conversation. He also loves speaking Spanish, which I love. It adds such a fun, personal touch to his energy.\u201d<\/p>\n If you go<\/p>\n What: \u201cThe Miami Housewives: Live!\u201d<\/p>\n When: 8 p.m. Tuesday<\/p>\n Where: Miami Improv, 3450 NW 83rd Ave., Ste. 224, Doral<\/p>\n Tickets: From $46.90, 21 and over, two-drink minimum<\/p>\n Contact: 305-441-8200; www.miamiimprov.com<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally published April 22, 2026 at 1:15 PM.<\/p>\n
