The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Sanela Diana Jenkins is pregnant at age 49, and it's time to talk about how her expectant mom status played a role in her RHOBH exit. Right now, it's hard to say if she will ever return to the Real Housewives franchise. Diana confirmed the pregnancy with her husband Asher Monroe in early December 2022. When the rainbow baby is born, the couple's little girl Eliyanah will have another sibling.

Diana has had an interesting career since fleeing her home country, Bosnia, at a young age. She made her debut on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last year, joining the season 12 cast. On the show, Diana detailed her tragic miscarriage, an experience that, understandably, still causes her a great deal of pain.

Diana Jenkins' Miscarriage Was Heartbreaking

Diana’s devastating loss has made her particularly cautious during her current high-risk pregnancy. She is following her doctor's recommendations. A source who spoke with People detailed the situation, explaining that, “Jenkins is on bed rest and ‘doing everything she can to protect her new blessing.’

She was so devoted to her bed rest, in fact, that she missed the People’s Choice Awards, which was definitely a clue that she would miss the upcoming RHOBH season. Previously, when asked about the season 13 premiere date, her costar, the OG cast member and pot stirrer, Kyle Richards, told the publication, “We used to start in April, it's kind of inched its way over the years, but we are starting later this time.

Diana Jenkins' RHOBH Stint Was Short

There are surely people who aren't happy about Diana’s exit from the Real Housewives series. After all, her pregnancy would have made it possible for her to share a brand-new journey with viewers. However, Diana's desire to be careful until her baby is born is completely understandable. She is still grieving due to her miscarriage, and is committed to taking good care of herself at this time. Her departure from the show is about doing all that she can to have a safe and healthy pregnancy. Other factors may also have been considered before Diana decided to give up her diamond.

As most people who follow the show now know, Diana’s departure from RHOBH is confirmed. While she won't return for season 13, fans still have a lot to look forward to. However, longtime cast member, the controversial Lisa Rinna, will not be in the mix. After losing her mother Lois Rinna, and some questionable conduct that may have been linked with her grief, she has announced her own departure from the iconic series.
