Black Celebrities We Want to See on The Real Housewives Franchises

What’s a better time to have cameras rolling in the Smith household? With Jada Pinkett Smith’s book tour setting the internet ablaze, we all want to know what it’s really like between Jada and Will. It would also be interesting to see how their children are reacting to the public perception of their family right now. Family scandals are a classic Housewives storyline.

The Wades are one of the most talked about families in Hollywood right now. The Wades have been vocal about some of the hurdles in their marriage and the nontraditional values they hold in their household. They’re bound to get the people talking! Also, it could be a great way to highlight their activism efforts.

Although Tia Mowry is no longer married, the requirements to become a Housewife are not like they used to be! Single-parent representation is a great lane for the franchises. Also, Tia is the life of the party! If you follow her on TikTok then you know that she has the time of her life when she’s out with friends!

If you’ve watched Serena Williams on YouTube then you already know that her home life is a lot more normal than people would probably think. Yes, she’s the greatest athlete of all time, but she’s also a mother to two children now and adores motherhood. Williams and Alexis Ohanian have a beautiful relationship! Her husband is known to clap back to trolls on the internet, so we know he would protect her against other people on the show!

We don’t get to see much of Savannah, which is why The Housewives is the perfect place to put her. She is the supportive wife of Lebron James and mother to three uber-talented children! Don’t we all want to know what the James household is like?

There’s almost always one or two younger housewives in the cast! Keke Palmer could be great as either a housewife or a “friend of the show” role. We already know that her reads and confessionals would be legendary! Palmer loves a bit of shade but also loves supporting women around her. She could be the touch of youthfulness and edginess that each franchise needs.

The Wilsons are another wholesome family that we must get cameras on. Following Ciara’s journey of navigating being a mother to soon-to-be four children while also being a music artist would be a heartfelt watch! Her husband, Russell Wilson, absolutely adores her and we need all the Black love that we can get!

Pinky Cole is the boss babe we need on Housewives! She would be the Kandi Burruss type of housewife, always hustling to build her empire. Pinky would be able to bring several celebrity appearances to the show as well! She also is growing her family and she and her fellow entrepreneur husband would be the Black inspiration we love to see.

Melissa Fredericks has started to make a name for herself outside of being the wife of comedian and actor Kevin Fredericks, famously known online as KevOnStage. As a podcast host and content creator, she could be a fun addition to the Housewives world. The Fredericks household is full of love and laughter, which is a great relief when the drama-filled characters on the show pop up.

If we want drama, then Nicki Minaj is the one to bring it. The “Barbie World” rapper is widely known for being messy! She is constantly beefing with people but also has strong relationships with some artists in the industry! We need a person who brings the heat. Of course, her controversial family dynamic would be a constant topic of discussion.

We know next to nothing about Mariah Carey’s home life, so now we must make her a Housewife! Don’t we all want to know what she does when she’s not spending the winter singing “All I Want for Christmas is You?” The R&B icon is also one of the biggest shade throwers in the music industry, she would for sure stir the pot in a friend group!

Alicia Keys isn’t known for getting into the drama, but she might be a good peacemaker in the group! There’s usually at least one person in the Housewives cast that everybody respects, and Keys could be that person. It could also be cool to have the other ladies attend her shows and watch some of the behind-the-scenes of her music-making.

Housewives fans have been begging Kimora Lee Simmons to join the Beverly Hills franchise! She has the spunk and entrepreneurial ambition that viewers would fall in love with. Housewives love a good fashion moment and Simmons could show the ladies the world of fashion through her eyes.

Tracee Ellis Ross is almost never caught up in gossip and drama! However, we think that she could be a fantastic friend of the show. Every project that Ross touches automatically turns into gold. Seeing her bright personality and stunning outfits is enough to get her a place on Housewives.

Social media star Jackie Aina would be a fabulous friend of the show! She doesn’t back down from a fight, blocking people left and right on her accounts when they get out of line. Her big personality, confidence, and success are all reasons why she needs to be in front of the cameras!
