Get ready to step inside the Dubrow Chateau in the upcoming Season 16 premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County. In this Bravo Insider sneak peek of the December 1 premiere of RHOC, Heather Dubrow is taking fans home with her as she sits down with her kids and husband Dr. Terry Dubrow, opening up about their family's life since she was last on the show.

Heather departed from RHOC after Season 11, and in the time since, her kids (Max, Collette, Katarina, and Nicholas) have gotten so big and are basically adults (we know). So, get ready to feel old, and check out the exclusive sneak peek shared during the Season of Getting to hear what the Dubrow kiddos are up to today — and if Heather and Terry have plans to, wait for it, build another house.

And, breaking news(!), this week, Heather also revealed that her twins, Max and Nick, are now 18, and Nick revealed that he's gotten into Loyola Marymount University (things she and Terry were already thinking about in the video, above).

In a previous conversation with Andy Cohen over the summer on her podcast, Heather Dubrow's World, Heather spoke about how her kids growing up played a part in why now felt like the right time to return to RHOC. "Timing is a big deal," Heather said back in June. "Now things are a little bit different. My family's in a different place. My kids are a little bit older. The pandemic has sort of given me a different perspective on things. And then I started thinking about, 'How many times do you get to go back and try something again?'"

Andy agreed, noting, "It's just, time has passed and it's cool because, also, I'm excited for people to see your life has changed. We haven't seen your house [the Dubrow Chateau], really. Your kids are in a totally different place."

But the Dubrows aren't the only RHOC family making big moves and sharing major updates. As previously confirmed, Emily Simpson's husband, Shane Simpson, passed the bar in California. In the Bravo Insider sneak peek, Emily opened up to her BFF Gina Kirschenheiter all about it. To hear what she shared, we suggest you check out the video, above.
