Real Housewives of Orange County star Kelly Dodd might be trading her Bravo orange for an apple if she has it her way. Kelly grabbed lunch with Real Housewives of New York City star Ramona Singer on Thursday, November 14 and hinted on her Instagram Stories that she would be moving to the NYC following her engagement to Fox News correspondent Rick Leventhal. Not only that, but she revealed that Ramona wants her to join the RHONY cast!
Kelly, 44, and Ramona, 62, grabbed a bite together at Le Bilboquet just one day after Rick, 59, popped the question and gave Kelly a massive pear-shaped diamond engagement ring. "So I'm having lunch with the beautiful Ramona. She wants me to be on the Real Housewives of New York, what do you think about that?" Kelly said in the Instagram Stories video. "Yeah! You're moving to New York, join the show," Ramona said.
Kelly and Rick first started dating shortly after her split from plastic surgeon Brian Reagan at the beginning of August. They met at a party thrown in the Hamptons by Ramona in July and got serious pretty quickly.
They have been practically inseparable since they became a couple, but they are based on separate coasts. Kelly shares daughter Jolie, 13, with ex Michael Dodd and both lives and films in Orange County. Rick has two children from a previous marriage to Penny Daniels and lives and works in New York. They have yet to reveal where they plan on starting their new life together, or whether they might be bicoastal.

Kelly gushed about the proposal shortly after it went down. "I’m beyond excited for our future together. Rick is my best friend. My partner in crime. I’m so in love. I can’t believe this happened to me. I feel like I just won the lottery. He said this amazing speech about our love and then got down on one knee and pulled out this giant ring. I couldn’t believe it!” she told People.
If Kelly ditches RHOC for RHONY, some of her costars would likely be thrilled. She has been feuding with Vicki Gunvalson all season. Vicki filed a defamation lawsuit against Kelly on November 1 but she decided to withdraw it days later on November 5. They reportedly had an "epic feud" while filming the season 14 reunion, as it was the first time they had been face-to-face since the filing.
Although Andy Cohen has the final say on whether Kelly joins RHONY, there could be a vacancy in the cast soon. Tinsley Mortimer is reportedly relocating to Chicago once she wraps filming on the current season to live with on-again boyfriend Scott Kluth. Scott is allegedly planning to propose soon.
