Nicky Hilton won’t be joining ‘RHONY’ — even if mom Kathy thinks she’d be ‘great’
Don’t expect to see Nicky Hilton trading couture for confessionals anytime soon.
Despite her mother, “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” fan favorite Kathy Hilton, recently telling SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio that she believes Nicky would make a “great” addition to “The Real Housewives of New York City,” the fashion designer and socialite made it clear she’s not interested in joining the Bravo franchise.
“It’s fun to watch, but no. Not for me,” Nicky, 41, told Page Six Radio during an exclusive interview while promoting her jewelry brand, Theo Grace. “No, that would not be fun for me. It’s not my vibe.”
While Kathy has embraced the world of reality TV in recent years with her wildly popular appearances on “RHOBH,” her daughter prefers to keep her life off-camera — even if she’s friendly with some of the current “RHONY” cast.
Nicky revealed she’s crossed paths with reboot stars Jessel Taank and Sai De Silva in real life, sharing that the reality world is already a small one socially.
“I have [met Jessel]. I think we met at a party,” she said. “I know Sai quite well. She’s super fun. We were actually just in Italy together at [Dorothy Wang’s] wedding.”
Still, that proximity hasn’t sparked any reality-TV ambitions for the Hilton heiress, who remains laser-focused on her latest business venture: Theo Grace, the jewelry line she named after her daughters Lily-Grace and Theodora. The brand centers on meaningful, customizable pieces designed to feel both personal and practical — and Nicky says several items are already emerging as holiday favorites.
One standout is the Coco Hexagon Photo Ring in Gold Finish, which allows customers to print personal photos directly onto the ring — including beloved pets.
“I mean, and like not everyone has children. Our pets are our children,” she explained. “So this has been by far one of our best sellers. People are uploading dogs, cats, horses, grandchildren. It’s such a fab piece.”
Another favorite in the collection is Theo Grace’s range of customizable lockets, which the brand will size and print with photos for customers — eliminating the hassle of cutting pics by hand.

“I love lockets. To me, they’re just so nostalgic. I grew up with them,” Nicky shared. “But I was always like cutting them and getting it messed up and having trouble getting the photo in. We take all of that away at Theo Grace. We size it, upload it. It is so easy. And look how cute this is.”
Hilton is also enthusiastic about the brand’s updated take on nameplates, which allow for multiple names on a single piece — perfect for sentimental shoppers.
“You have to check out our Theo Grace nameplates,” she said. “We have multi-nameplates. So I have my husband, my three children. I think you can add up to six names. So it’s sort of like the nameplate 2.0.”
While reality TV may remain off the table, Nicky is clearly starring in her own lane — building a business rooted in personalization, family and thoughtful design. And for now, that’s a spotlight she’s more than happy to stay in.
