Bravo Gives 1st Look at ‘Real Housewives’ Dating Show

Bravo fans just got a first look at “Love Hotel.”

On February 14, the network dropped a promo for the “Real Housewives” themed dating show that will star four divorced stars from the hit Bravo franchise: “Real Housewives of Potomac” stars Gizelle Bryant, 54, and Ashley Darby, 36; “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum Shannon Storms Beador, 60; and “Real Housewives of New York City” OG Luann de Lesseps, 59, will all star in the spinoff series.

In the clip posted to social media, the four women posed on a beach as Housewives-style music played. A heart-shaped hotel key appeared with a teaser that read “They’re checked in…. Love Hotel coming soon.”

“Love is in the air and our guests have arrived. #BravosLoveHotel is coming soon 💘,” came a caption on Instagram.

Bravo’s sister streaming site Peacock has already had massive success with the dating series “Love Island USA,” which was hosted by “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix last summer.

‘Love Hotel’ Filmed in Mexico Last Fall

According to a press release shared by Bravo TV, “Love Hotel” filmed at the Grand Velas Boutique Hotel in Los Cabos, Mexico. The teaser claimed the four Bravo stars “mix and mingle with a group of eligible bachelors, each vying for the chance to win their hearts and put the ‘wives’ back in ‘Housewives.’” Comedian Joel Kim Booster hosts the show.

According to People magazine, “Love Hotel” was filmed last fall and was originally slated to stream on Peacock. The new teaser clearly shows that it will also air on the Bravo network.

After filming, Bryant told Deadline that her co-star Beador “was the one that was a bit more emotional” than the rest of the cast. “I’m not that emotional. Neither is Ashley. She was our emotional girl. We had to protect her to make sure she was okay,” she added of the RHOC star.

De Lesseps has long talked about starring on a TV dating show. In November 2023, she appeared on the “Behind the Velvet Rope With David Yontef” podcast and suggested that Bravo owed her a show amid her long history on the network.

“I think they definitely, could, you know, Bravo could really find me a man,” the “Money Can’t Buy You Class” singer told Yontef. “I mean, come on, I put in some years with them. It’s the least they can do. I would like to have a dating show.  It makes sense to me. I’m single, you know, that would be awesome. I can’t think of anything better than having producers cast men for me.”

In 2024, Beador spoke out on “The Viall Files” podcast to reveal that she approached producers of ABC’s ”The Golden Bachelorette” with interest in being their lead before Joan Vassos was cast as the leading lady for the senior-centric dating show.

While she wasn’t named “The Golden Bachelorette,” Beador soon received a call from Bravo producer Andy Cohen with an offer to join the cast of “Love Hotel.” She told podcast host Nick Viall, “On ‘Love Hotel’ you get story because we’re older. Like, it’s not just like we’re young and dating. It’s like we have story and issues and we’re all single for a reason, so we all have triggers and all that.”
