Over the years, Bravo stars from different franchises have developed friendships with people outside of their specific TV series. While some met after they were cast on their respective shows, others knew each other before they found fame. Now, with BravoCon and the several other events they attend each year, Bravo stars are bound to create friendships with each other one way or another.

There have even been a handful of times when Bravo stars appeared on each other's respective shows. The Real Housewives of New York City alum Bethenny Frankel once appeared on an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a friend of Kyle Richards. The pair had been friends since their 20s when Bethenny used to babysit Kyle's nieces, Paris and Nicky Hilton. The cast of Summer House and Vanderpump Rules also did several crossover episodes in seasons one and three, with Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute appearing on the Hamptons-based series.

Brandi Glanville & Kristen Taekman

During their modeling days, RHOBH alum Brandi Glanville and RHONY alum Kristen Taekman became fast friends. Viewers may remember a scene in season six when Brandi and her fellow costar, Yolanda Hadid, met up with Kristen and her castmate, Carole Radziwill. The two friends reminisced on their days in the modeling industry and Kristen's wild Bachelorette party in Las Vegas.

Melissa Gorga & Ramona Singer

It wasn't until the season eight reunion of The Real Housewives of New Jersey when viewers discovered how close Melissa Gorga was to RHONY cast member Ramona Singer. The 64-year-old made a cameo at the reunion when she called the boutique owner in the middle of a taping. Since then, the two friends have shared several Instagram posts together and even spent time in Turks and Cacicos together for the Real Housewives all-stars series.

Shannon Beador & Jeff Lewis

Over the years, The Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador and Flipping Out alum Jeff Lewis have become very close friends. Not only are the two are often seen grabbing dinner together, but Shannon recently made an appearance on Jeff's radio show, Jeff Lewis Live, on Andy Cohen's Sirius XM Radio Andy network.

Teddi Mellencamp & Shep Rose

RHOBH alum Teddi Mellencamp and Southern Charm star Shep Rose go way back in their friendship. The pair met during their childhood, as they both grow up in Sea Pines, a town near Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. In an interview she did with The Daily Dish in 2018, Teddi revealed Shep "was one of [her] best guy friends."

As the years go on, Bravo stars are more and more likely to become close with the people on their network, whether they meet at an event or at a taping of Watch What Happens Live where Andy Cohen interviews the stars of Bravo. However, some already knew each other before they even became Bravo celebrities. No matter how they met, the stars of Bravo have created a special bond through the network.
