Diana Jenkins quits Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after just one season

Pregnant Diana Jenkins is leaving the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after just one season on the hit-US reality TV programme.

The entrepreneur, 49, announced her departure in a touching social media post earlier this week amid her ongoing "high risk" pregnancy journey.

She admitted not being able to "devote myself fully to filming" and told her followers that she would not be part of the new season airing on Bravo.

Diana first joined Real Housewives for season 12, which premiered in May earlier last year, and has cited her fertility for the reason behind her shock departure.

She is currently pregnant with her fourth child alongside her fiancé Asher Monroe following her tragic miscarriage – and is reportedly on "bed rest".

Taking to Instagram yesterday, she said: "As so many of you know, Asher and I are expecting our second child later this year."

"You also know that due to many factors, this pregnancy is considered high risk and I am on doctor-advised bed rest," she explained.

Diana told her followers: "To that end, I am not able to devote myself fully to filming the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

"I would like to thank Bravo and Evolution for allowing me to focus on my pregnancy, and for their support and understanding.

"I promise to continue sharing my fertility journey with you."

It was earlier last year that rumours began swirling after headlines suggested that the pair were expecting, with an insider claiming that Diana had a "new blessing".

A source close to Diana told The Mirror back in December: "I'm delighted to confirm for you that Diana and Asher are expecting.

"Their home is filled with joy at this wonderful time. Diana is feeling great and she and Asher are so very happy."

She shares two-year-old daughter Eliyanah with Asher and sadly previously suffered a miscarriage, something she spoke about during season 12 of RHOBH.

She met ex-husband, British financer Roger Jenkins, in 1991 and share two children – all before their divorce in 2011 – they now co-parent son Innis and daughter Eneya.

Diana has been dating Asher, an actor and musician, since the end of her divorce, but the pair had previously met around 2010.

They welcomed their first child in 2020 and often share updates and pictures on Instagram, something we could expect with their new arrival.
