Is Kim Zolciak Returning to RHOA? She Reveals If She'll Be "Popping In"
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum is addressing all of the rumors surrounding her return to TV.
Kim Zolciak has had a lot to celebrate in 2024.
Over the past three months, The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Don't Be Tardy alum celebrated the engagement of her oldest daughter, Brielle Biermann, watched her oldest son, Kroy Jagger Biermann Jr. (KJ) get baptized, and shared a look at her "real hair."
But will Kim be celebrating a return to RHOA anytime soon? In the wake of RHOA cast announcements — including the return of Porsha Williams and the departure of Kandi Burruss as well as Marlo Hampton's exit— fans may be wondering if Kim could also return to the show.

Is Kim Zolciak returning to RHOA? She Addresses Rumors
Kim exclusively told Celebuzz! that she will not be returning to RHOA.
"As much as I enjoyed holding a peach for years and enjoyed popping in now and then, I will not be returning to the show."
Kim joined RHOA for Season 1 when it debuted on Bravo in October 2008. Kim remained as a cast member on the show until Season 5. At the time of leaving RHOA, Kim was 32 weeks pregnant with KJ. "I handled my sh— for five seasons, from fights, to arguments, to the tears, but being pregnant puts a whole new spin on everything, and what happened on the outside affects what happens with the baby on the inside, and that was my priority!!" Kim wrote in a blog post for BravoTV.com at the time. "I called it quits for this season and I don't regret it at all."
Kim did take fans inside her life on her Bravo series, Don't Be Tardy, which focused on her marriage to former NFL player, Kroy Biermann, and their family for 8 seasons. Kim, who last made a cameo on RHOA Season 15, hinted that she might return to TV in some capacity, just not as a cast member of RHOA.
"I am sorry to disappoint those who were holding out hope that I'd return and they would get to watch me in action again this season," she told Celebuzz! "However, that doesn't mean that you've seen the last of me yet on TV so stay tuned for more on that in the near future."

At the end of 2023, Kim shared her hopes and goals for 2024, revealing that she wanted to focus on being open to more possibilities, trusting the process, and surrounding herself with "amazing people" among others.
Just three months into the year, and Kim is certainly on her way to achieve her goals. On Feb. 28, Kim's oldest daughter, Brielle, got engaged to baseball player, Billy Seidl, in Scottsdale, Arizona. Shortly after the couple announced their big news, Kim took to Instagram where she posted Brielle's engagement photos and had the sweetest things to say about the couple in her caption.
"I'm so happy for [Brielle and Billy], nothing makes me happier than seeing my kids happy!" she wrote. "It's the best feeling EVER!! Love you both to the moon and back and look forward to allllll the years to come."
