Watch Taylor Armstrong’s Daughter, Kennedy, Make Her RHOC Debut

See what Kennedy looks like 12 years after appearing on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Taylor Armstrong’s daughter, Kennedy Armstrong, was introduced to Bravo fans on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when she was just 4 years old. Now, more than 12 years later, Kennedy is returning to the small screen — this time, on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 17.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on  Peacock and the Bravo App.

As the above sneak peek clip shows, 17-year-old Kennedy (who was 16 at the time of filming) will make her RHOC debut on Season 17’s upcoming Episode 8, set to air Wednesday, July 26. The preview picks up with Taylor, Kennedy, and Kennedy’s friend Alexis as they prepare to meet Jennifer Pedranti and her 13-year-old son, Greyson, as well as Shannon Storms Beador, and embark on a quick trip to Balboa Island’s amusement park.

Once there, the group’s plans are simple: “Eat sugar and then go get on the Gyroscope,” as Jennifer put it. They sit down to eat upon arriving — albeit without Shannon, who’s running late — and it’s then that Kennedy shares she’s a junior in high school.

Jennifer is distracted, though, as she tries to figure out where Shannon is. “She’s always late,” Jennifer says. “Shannon runs on Shannon time.” 

Kennedy, it turns out, can relate — and the habit has apparently gotten her into some trouble. As she reveals, “Lunch detention. They, like, know me there.”

Taylor Armstrong’s Relationship with Kennedy Armstrong

Whether Kennedy frequents lunch detention or not, Taylor said in a confessional interview that for the most part, she’s “a regular teenager.” 

“I mean, good days, bad days, mad at me, happy with me — I never know what I’m gonna get when I wake up with Kennedy,” Taylor added. “And she probably doesn’t know with me, either.”

The RHOC Season 17 friend further elaborated on her relationship with Kennedy while answering fan questions for BravoTV.com. “She just finished her junior year [of high school], so she is going to be going to college, of course, after her senior year,” Taylor shared. “She’s starting to make moves and to grow up.”

And while Taylor is obviously excited for Kennedy’s next chapter, she’s also dreading her high school graduation for one major reason: Afterward, Taylor and her husband, John Bluher, will be empty nesters.

“That’s the problem with having an only child is it’s just heartbreaking!” she said during the fan Q&A.
