After 12 seasons, Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City” is adding it’s first black castmate: former Fox News host Eboni K. Williams.

“Real Housewives” executive producer Andy Cohen confirmed that Williams will be joining the cast for Season 13, which recently began production.

“Welcome to #RNONY,” Cohen tweeted, tagging Williams. “I’m SO excited,” she replied enthusiastically, adding an apple emoji — a nod to the Big Apple and the prop each New York housewife holds in the intro.

“NYC is filled with successful and dynamic Black women. I’m excited to join this legendary franchise as the first Black housewife,” Williams added in a statement.
