Carole Radziwill Reunites with Andy Cohen on “WWHL” After Years-Long Rift

In a heartfelt moment on “Watch What Happens Live,” Andy Cohen and former “Real Housewives of New York City” cast member Carole Radziwill shared a warm hug, signaling an end to years of disagreement.

Radziwill made a surprise appearance on the show, catching fellow guests Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers off guard. After attempting to guess Cohen’s special guest, the doorbell unexpectedly rang, revealing Radziwill as the guest of honor. Cohen, 57, excitedly announced, “It’s Carole Radziwill!” as she stepped out, and they embraced warmly.

During the show, Cohen described Radziwill as “one of my favorites,” and both Yang and Rogers expressed their excitement, reciprocating her hugs. Radziwill, 61, said Cohen was “incredible, fun, and gracious,” and remarked that the hug was the highlight of her visit, despite her initial nerves.

Addressing her recent connections, Radziwill shared her limited interactions with past “RHONY” colleagues. She highlighted a chance encounter with Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps at a recent party, joking that her talk with Singer felt “like a scene” and couldn’t remember if she and de Lesseps “hate each other.”

Following her appearance, Radziwill took to Instagram to share a clip, captioning it, “The #RHONY reunion you were waiting for… yes, that’s me. The mystery guest on WWHL.” She praised Cohen as “incredible and gracious” and reflected on the experience, calling it “fun” and worth her butterflies.

Radziwill, who withdrew from the show after her last season in 2018, commented that the reunion was “the best part” of her return, despite her typical aversion to hugging. She expressed delight at reconnecting with Cohen, saying, “We are very much on the same page now, and I’m happy about that.”
