Jeff Lewis Zoila Chavez Reunion

Zoila Chavez may have retired and stopped working for Jeff Lewis back in Season 10 of Flipping Out, which aired in 2017, but that doesn't mean that she hasn't kept in touch with her former employer. And now, it seems their relationship has gone in a direction we weren't expecting.

"I have some news, some good news. Well, OK, so I had Monroe's old nanny came back. Remember she decided that she was going to switch careers after working for Monroe?" Jeff said on his SiriusXM radio show, noting that she went on to a career as a flight attendant. "Then obviously she lost her job." Jeff noted that after coming back for a short time to work for him again she found a full-time job as a nanny for another family.

Which brings us to Zoila. "I needed someone to fill like a day or two, so I called Zoila Chavez in Nicaragua. We had a nice conversation. She is flying back anyways in mid-October and we are discussing her working on Saturdays," he said. In addition to Zoila, Jeff will continue to work with her sister, Aurora, who will serve as Zoila's ride to Jeff's home. "I'm really excited."

This update mirrors one that Andy Cohen shared just last month.  "Even though Jeff and Zoila did not end the show on great terms, I'm happy to say that they have reconciled and Zoila is alive and well and has been waiting out COVID in Nicaragua," Andy said about Zoila, who splits her time between Nicaragua and Los Angeles, where her daughter lives. "But she's coming back to L.A. soon."
