Kenya Moore\u00a0will be back for season 16 of\u00a0The Real Housewives of Atlanta, in a move that will reunite her with one of her longtime frenemies,\u00a0Porsha Williams.<\/p>\n

On Friday, April 12, the actress and former Miss USA confirmed her return to the next season of the Bravo series, which a source tells PEOPLE begins filming in May.<\/p>\n

“I may be ‘Gone With the Wind Fabulous,’ but I\u2019m not going anywhere! \ud83c\udf51” she wrote, captioning a video of her\u00a0dancing to her beloved 2012 song.<\/p>\n

Moore, 53, is currently the\u00a0RHOA<\/em>‘s longest-running peach-holder. The show has recently faced a major casting shakeup that’s left production in limbo for months, off its typical shooting schedule.<\/p>\n

Longtime\u00a0RHOA\u00a0star\u00a0Kandi Burruss\u00a0confirmed on Feb. 4 that\u00a0she would be leaving the show\u00a0after 14 consecutive seasons, while\u00a0Marlo Hampton\u00a0told PEOPLE exclusively on Feb. 24 that her contract “ended when season 15 wrapped.” Executive producer\u00a0Andy Cohen\u00a0said in a February episode of his SiriusXM radio show that\u00a0Sanya Richards-Ross\u00a0also wouldn’t be back.<\/p>\n

Williams, who announced her “retirement” from the show after season 11, revealed on Feb. 13 that she’s coming back \u2014 a return that came with an\u00a0overall scripted talent deal\u00a0with NBCUniversal “across the company\u2019s broadcast and streaming properties.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fates of\u00a0Drew Sidora\u00a0and\u00a0Shere\u00e9 Whitfield, last season’s other stars, remain up in the air. But with Moore’s return set, that means viewers can expect to see she and Williams, 42, share the screen again.<\/p>\n

Both women joined\u00a0RHOA\u00a0back in season 5 and immediately became rivals, shading one another for years to come. Though they appeared to make peace after their birth of their daughters, things blew up again when Moore claimed Williams got intimate with exotic dancer\u00a0Bolo the Entertainer\u00a0during\u00a0Cynthia Bailey’s bachelorette weekend.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear where the two stand now, but Moore has said she’d be excited to work with Williams again.<\/p>\n

“I would love that,” Moore told\u00a0Entertainment Tonight\u00a0back in February. “Honestly, the fans would love that, I would love it. We’ve had some magical moments on TV. I think that it would be brilliant casting.”<\/p>\n

Both ladies have a lot in common right now, coming on the other side of heartbreak.<\/p>\n

PEOPLE exclusively reported on Feb. 23 that Williams filed for divorce from her estranged husband\u00a0Simon Guobadia, a source blaming their split on an “ongoing matter.” The former pair, who\u00a0married in November 2022, have since\u00a0been going back and forth in court filings, outlining troubling arguments\u00a0the two have been having as they navigate their split.<\/p>\n

As for Moore, she just\u00a0finalized her divorce\u00a0from\u00a0Marc Daly.<\/p>\n

“After more than three years of litigation, I have finally been granted a divorce,” Moore told PEOPLE in December in an exclusive statement about the private mediation. “I want to thank everyone who prayed for and uplifted\u00a0me when I needed it the most.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m excited for this next chapter in my life and being the best mom I can be for my daughter,\u00a0Brooklyn,” she continued. “As a hopeless romantic, I still believe my forever person exists and know I\u2019ll have my happily ever after ending after all.”<\/p>\n

And that “happily ever after” comes with Moore giving herself “permission to just live now.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve never given myself that before; allowed myself the freedom to just let go and walk through life fully embracing every part of myself,” Moore told PEOPLE in February. “That’s what I want to do moving forward, because I’m tired of holding myself back. This ‘next chapter,’ as I’m calling it, is all about flourishing, removing myself from those burdens and stepping into me.”<\/p>\n

A big part of that move for Moore is about quieting that critical voice in her head.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always judging myself with my grandmother’s eyes,” Moore explained. “She was old-fashioned and very religious, and while I appreciated that and appreciated her morals, I feel like I’ve been wound a little to tight in the past. I’ve always contained myself, especially in my personal relationships. And I’m done doing that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
