THE REAL Housewives of New York City cast has been spotted filming with two new socialites, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.
The RHONY reboot cast is back in front of cameras as they film their second season after the OG housewives were fired.
Bravo has confirmed that the stars from last season will be returning for Season 15, including Erin Lichy, Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield.
A source told Deadline last month that designer Rebecca Minkoff, 43, would be filming with the ladies for the new season, but in an unspecified role.
The U.S. Sun can confirm that a second newbie has been added to the mix, one of Jenna's good pals, Racquel Chevremont.
A source revealed, "Racquel has been introduced to the class through her friend Jenna. She has been filming with the cast.

"Her and Rebecca are both newbies this season, but they haven't been given an official title yet."
Racquel and Rebecca were both at Erin's launch party for her and her husband Abe's new artisanal mezcal, Mezcalum, on May 7, according to a source.
Bravo did not provide comment when The U.S. Sun reached out for comment on this story.
However, both ladies have seemingly confirmed the news themselves.

Rebecca was seen in a group shot posted by Erin with the cast as they filmed in the Hamptons.
The designer posted a video on Instagram of a "gals night out" outfit from what appears to be Erin's East Hamptons home.

TRUE NEW YORKER
Racquel, 52, is an art advisor, curator, designer, and model of Puerto Rican descent.
The born and raised New Yorker curated an art collection that was featured on shows like Sex and the City's revival And Just Like That, as well as Empire and Severance.
She previously dated Mickalene Thomas for over a decade and even got engaged on New Year's in 2019.
The six reboot cast members are back for another season of the Real Housewives of New York City - along with two newbies Rebecca and Racquel. Here is a little bit about their backgrounds:
- Brynn Whitfield, 38, is a marketing communications consultant from Indiana who is currently single
- Erin Lichy, 36, is a real estate agent and interior designer from NYC who is married to Abe Lichy and has three children
- Sai De Silva, 43, is a fashion influencer and style vlogger from Los Angeles who is married to David Craig and has two kids
- Jenna Lyons, 55, is a fashion designer from Boston who has one child and has been dating photographer Cass Bird since 2023
- Jessel Taank, 41, is a fashion publicist and brand consultant from London who is married to Pavit Randhawa and has two twin boys
- Ubah Hassan, 40, is a fashion model from Somalia who has been dating investment banker Oliver Dachsel since 2022
- Rebecca Minkoff, 43, is a fashion designer from San Diego who is married to Gavin Bellour and has four children
- Racquel Chevremont, 52, is an art curator and model from NYC who has two children and appears to be currently single
They quietly broke up a year later. It was reported that they broke up in July 2022 and, at that point, they had been "done romantically for two years," but were still committed to working on their professional projects together such as Deux Femmes Noirs.
Racquel is also a mother and has two teenagers, a son and a daughter.
'NOTHING OFF LIMITS'
The U.S. Sun caught up with Rebecca at the Annual Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards earlier this month in New York City.
Rebecca was unable to confirm her role on the show or even if she was filming with the Housewives at the time.
However, she did say that she was a "fan of the reboot" and spoke about her friendships with the cast.
"I was a fan of the reboot last season. I've known Jenna, I know Sai, I know Erin. And so I was happy to see that they really pivoted the show to be not about getting drunk and raging at each other, that it was classier and more elevated," Rebecca told The U.S. Sun.
"I mean I think that you can have petty drama, fine, but women should be seen supporting each other and being successful. And to me I like that they sort of changed it to that."

Rebecca welcomed her fourth child, a son named Leonardo Scout, in January 2023 with husband Gavin Bellour.
The couple is also parents to Luca, 12; Bowie, 9; and Nico, 6.
If she "were to be filming," she said that, "nothing is off limits, for the most part," in regards to her personal life.
When asked what she would want her fans to see, she revealed, "I think I have a personality that doesn't come through an Instagram picture and you can get a little bit of it on my podcast, but where else do you get it?
"And so, hopefully, you see that side or you see how hardworking I am or how I support women or how if and when there's a disagreement, I'm like, 'Let's figure it out.'

"And really just who I am as a person shines through. Hopefully, that's - knock on wood - that I'm edited, if I am edited, for the good."
Co-star Sai De Silva was recently overheard in a hot mic moment calling Rebecca "boring" on Jeff Lewis' SiriusXM show.
