Garcelle Beauvais is entering a new chapter after her exit from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.“ Following Season 14, she’s stepping back to focus on personal growth, her family, and new creative ventures.
Beauvais made history when she joined the franchise in Season 10 as the first Black woman to hold a diamond. Her honesty, humor, and sharp perspective quickly made her a fan favorite, as noted by outlets like Reality Tea.

Tensions at the reunion were clear, with Beauvais storming off the set in frustration and cursing out co-stars Kyle Richards, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John, Kathy Hilton, and Jennifer Tilly.
Despite the blowup, there’s still a glimmer of hope for reconciliation between Beauvais and Stacke, one of Beauvais’ closest pals and fellow co-star on the hit series.
Speaking with Us Weekly, Stacke shared that she wants only the best for the mom of three. “I think we were all sort of in shock, but Garcelle is a very strong woman,” she shared. Though the ladies aren’t in the best place at the moment, Sutton remains optimistic that things will eventually work out between them. “I am hopeful, but, I’m just hoping that Garcelle is good and happy and on the path that she wants to be on, which I know she is,” she continued.
In a further statement to Page Six, Sutton said, “I can only imagine that she needs a clean break right now. I love her and am giving her the space she needs.”
She continued, “I know that she is going to move through this next chapter with grace and success.”
Prioritizing Family Life
In a statement on Instagram announcing her departure, Beauvais reflected on her time on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” calling it a “wild ride” filled with unforgettable moments. But now, she’s shifting her focus to motherhood.
With her twin sons, Jax and Jaid, approaching their senior year of high school, Beauvais said she wants to be there for every milestone. “Their last year of high school is next year, and I want to be a part of that,“ she shared in a Bravo interview.
One of her sons, Jaid, has also begun pursuing modeling — a new chapter Beauvais is supporting wholeheartedly. “Jaid is starting a new career and I want to be a part of that too,” she explained
Exploring New Ventures
With her exit from the show, Beauvais is free to pursue professional opportunities that had taken a backseat. She revealed that she’s actively developing several projects, both as an actor and producer. Per Deadline, Beauvais is set to executive produce three new Lifetime original movies, including a title under the “Terry McMillan Presents” banner.
Embracing Arts & Culture
Since her exit, Beauvais has been more present in the arts and culture scene. She’s been spotted attending gallery openings and sharing her love of visual art on social media. This renewed focus is a reflection of her multifaceted personality and desire to stay connected to storytelling in all its forms.
In a Bravo profile, she emphasized how meaningful it’s been to engage with the community and the arts in a more personal way. “I’ve been hanging out at a lot of art galleries and I love it,” she wrote in the caption of a May 9 Instagram post.
