Nina Ali is exiting The Real Housewives of Dubai after just one season, according to a new report.
“It was an honor to be a part of the debut season of The Real Housewives of Dubai, and to help Bravo bring this beloved franchise to the city I call home,” Nina told People Magazine in an exclusive statement. “I’m grateful to the network, Andy Cohen, and the team at Truly Original for welcoming me into this extended family and for embracing the diversity of riches Dubai has to offer.”
She continued, “2023 has already brought many exciting opportunities my way — including an emerging new business, new home and new adventures — so for now moving my attention away from the show will allow myself the space to focus on new challenges.”
According to the report, RHODubai Season 2 is set to begin filming in the “upcoming months” although it is not clear if this is the last fans will hear about cast changes ahead of the new season.
While the ratings for Season 1 ended up levelling out by the time the reunion came around, Season 1 did not debut to the biggest numbers so it has been clear for a while that Bravo would be looking to make some casting changes ahead of a potential second season.
In addition to Nina Ali, the first season of The Real Housewives of Dubai featured Caroline Stanbury, Lesa Milan, Sara Al Madani, and Caroline Brooks.
