Put the champs on ice:Nick Dubrowmight be headed to reality TV.
The 22-year-old—son of RHOC star Heather Dubrow and Botched plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow—teased that he might soon be taking on both family businesses, seemingly alluding to pursuing reality TV and medicine.
As Nick hinted during an exclusive interview with E! News, “There’s something circulating right now, but who knows…”
Though his lips were sealed on the details, the recent Loyola Marymount University graduate was previously rumored to have joined the cast of a Los Angeles-based spinoff of Bravo’s hit series Next Gen NYC, with the original featuring the kids of Bravolebrities, like Ariana Biermann (daughter ofKim Zolciak), Riley Burruss (daughter of Kandi Burruss) and Brooks Marks(son of Meredith Marks).
“It really gives you this public speaking skill that’s really good,” Nick noted of growing up on the network. “And I’ve never been afraid in school to get up in front of the class or anything like that.”
That’s why the reality star is “really grateful” for that part of his upbringing—alongside fraternal twin Max, sister Kat,19, and brother Ace,15—which has made life in the public eye “second nature at this point.”
While Heather didn’t share much about Nick’s upcoming gig, theBetween Uspodcast host did a little hinting of her own that added to fan speculation about Next Gen LA.
“I may have seen some filming,” she toldPage Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast July 30 of reports that the new franchise was still in the works, adding, “and it may have been epic.”
Before that, the Real Housewife captioned a snap of herself and Nick surrounded by cameras, “Hmmmmmmmm this should be interesting,” in a since-deleted Instagram post reshared by a fan account.
In addition to anticipating Dubrow’s eldest on the possible spinoff, fans are also hoping that Kyle Richards‘ daughter Sophia Umansky and Camille Grammer‘s eldest Mason Grammer could be representing the legacy of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
As for why Heather believes her kids have become beloved by viewers at home?
“When I started 15 years ago, they were so young. He was 7, and my youngest was 9 months old,” the 57-year-old explained next to Nick on the red carpet. “I think when you grow up watching someone on TV, they become real friends to you.”
As such, Heather noted watching her and Terry “navigate parenthood of four very different kids and seeing our normal family has struck a chord with people.”
