Rachel Zoe is giving insight into the recent end of her 26-year marriage to Rodger Berman.
The 54-year-old fashion designer — who will join season 15 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — discussed her split in a teaser shared at BravoCon on Friday.
In the snippet she opened up to friend Kathy Hilton and said, ‘I’m trying to look at [Rodger] as a friend… I’m not there yet.’
She went on to compare her relationship to the couple in the romance drama The Notebook, stating they were ‘married 26 years, together for 33.’
‘We were together for 18 years before we had kids. I think after we had kids… I think it changes, at the end of the day. I think we’ve outgrown each other; we became very different people,’ Rachel admitted.
The exes are parents to sons Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 11.

Rachel will star on the forthcoming installment of RHOBH alongside Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John, Dorit Kemsley and fellow rookie Amanda Frances.
She announced her involvement on the show via Instagram over the summer.
‘Here we go again @bravotv !!!✨ I am officially joining #TheRealHousewivesofBeverlyHills and back with my Bravo family. Let’s do this! #RHOBH,’ she wrote.
The media personality previously starred on her own Bravo reality show, The Rachel Zoe Project, which aired for five seasons from 2008–2013.
Along with her announcement in June, Rachel shared a video in which she said, ‘It’s been a while and you’ve been asking me to come back to television, and I said when the stars align or it makes sense or I have enough to say to share with all of you, and now is the time.
‘Really excited to be with all of you again and I hope you are too, so let’s have some fun! Mwah!’ she added.
Season 15 of the long-running series will premiere on Bravo on December 4, with episodes streaming on Peacock the next day.
Rachel announced her split from Rodger, whom she wed in 1996, on social media in September 2024.

She wrote in the split announcement, ‘After 33 years together and 26 years married, Rodger and I have come to the mutual decision to end our marriage.
‘We are incredibly proud of the loving family we have created and our countless memories together,’ she continued.
‘Our number one priority has been and will always be our children. We are committed to coparent our boys and to continue to work together within the many businesses we share. We ask for privacy during this time as we navigate this new chapter.’
She signed off, ‘With love and gratitude — Rachel & Rodger.’
The multi-hyphenate filed for divorce in July of this year.
