SHE’S BACK! Robyn Dixon Confirmed to Return for ‘RHOP’ Season 11 — But There’s a Catch!

We have some major intel on the cast for Season 11 of The Real Housewives of Potomac. On Friday, April 10, it was confirmed that Robyn Dixon will return to the group as a friend of, on the same day that the rest of the cast of familiar faces was confirmed.

The cast for the upcoming new season of RHOP includes returning Housewives Karen Huger, Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Wendy Osefo,  Stacey Rusch, and Tia Glover. Filming is also now in “full bloom.”

The news comes just weeks after Season 10 of RHOP wrapped up back in March 2026 with the three-part reunion.

Robyn joined The Real Housewives of Potomac in Season 1 along with Gizelle, Karen, and Ashley. During her time on the show, Robyn has taken fans inside her ups and downs with her friends, as well as her life at home as a mom to her sons and her relationship with one-time ex-husband, Juan Dixon (in fact, they reconciled and remarried during her time on RHOP). She also grew her brand during her time on the show to include her hat line, her podcast with Gizelle (titled Reasonably Shady), and beyond. As fans will recall, Robyn stepped away from RHOP after Season 8.

In the final moments of the Season 8 finale, an update about the couple popped up on the screen. “Robyn has signed a lease for her first GLO30 location and hopes to have doors open in 2024,” it read. “As for the world’s opinion on her and Juan’s marriage? The Dixon’s ‘100 percent DON’T CARE.'”

Dancing with the Stars fans are already daydreaming about who will be part of Season 35. The cast reveal is months away, yet the speculation has already begun. And one name that has been swirling around is former The View co-host, Rosie O’Donnell.

In March 2025, Rosie packed her bags and left the United States for Ireland. One of the main reasons was the re-election of Donald Trump and the political climate in the U.S. Rosie recently stated that she doesn’t regret her move “at all.” So, will we see Rosie waltzing in the ballroom this fall?

Rosie addressed the rumors head-on. She shared a post via Instagram with an AI photo of her, looking 80’s glam. She was standing in the ballroom, in a green, metallic dress. A headline on the photo read, “Breaking News. Rosie O’Donnell, 63, makes Dancing with the Stars Debut.” Underneath that text, it read, “She returns to the U.S. in an epic comeback!”

Rosie captioned the post, “This made me laugh – reminds me to never get a perm!!! Completely untrue but funny.” Some fans shared their thoughts in the comments. “Wish it was true. I would absolutely watch the show,” one follower commented. Another wrote, “You look far better than AI photo shop lol.” Meanwhile, another fan wrote, “No one talks about perm trauma but it’s real, and it runs deep.” Amen!

Speculation is already heating up that some Olympians from the 2026 Winter Games will grace the ballroom. After all, Olympians have a great track record on DWTS. Last season, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles came in third place with her partner, Ezra Sosa. However, conservationist Robert Irwin lit the dance floor on fire, taking home the coveted Mirrorball. Influencer Alix Earle nabbed second place.
