Margaret Josephs is stepping away from The Real Housewives of New Jersey after Season 14, confirming the news directly with fans.
In a video shared on Instagram, Josephs said the decision had been in the works for months. “I’ve been thinking about a lot of different things, and I am moving on from the Housewives of New Jersey,” she said.
“I’ve been in the talks with the network and Andy since December… and I think the timing is right.”
She explained that her priorities have shifted. “A lot of things have changed in my life,” Josephs said. “I realized I have to spend more time with my family, work on my designing, and just take a break and move on.”
The longtime Bravo star also expressed gratitude for her time on the series. “The good and the bad, I really do love you all,” she said, addressing her castmates.
Josephs revealed she is already working on something new. “I’ve been blessed to work on a different project,” she said. “I’m very grateful.”
She reassured fans that her departure from television is not permanent. “This will not be the last you guys see of me,” she said. “That’s not a threat, it’s a promise.”
Bravo has since confirmed that Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Dolores Catania would all be returning for the next season, as well as some new cast members.
