“The Real Housewives of New York City” season 16 is shaking things up with three new cast members—and the Housewives’ ages span quite a range.
Newcomers Erika Hammond, Daisy Toye and Hailey Glassman are joining returning cast members Erin Lichy, Sai De Silva and Jessel Taank, along with RHONY alum Carole Radziwill.
The youngest woman in the group is 35, while the oldest is 63, creating a nearly 30-year age difference across the season 16 cast.
And if you listened to a recent Bravo and Cocktails podcast and were surprised to learn Hailey’s real age, she’s not actually the youngest newcomer in the group.
How Old Is the RHONY Season 16 Cast?
At 35, Erika Hammond is the youngest member of the Season 16 cast. Outside of RHONY, Erika has built a career in fitness. She created Equinox’s KNOCKout classes, a 45-minute boxing-inspired group fitness workout, founded PS Active, and was part of the founding team behind Rumble Boxing.
Erin Lichy is 38 years old. The born-and-raised New Yorker works in real estate and interior design and has also launched entrepreneurial ventures. Season 16 marks Erin’s third season on “The Real Housewives of New York City.”
Next up is newcomer Daisy Toye, who is 39. Daisy already has some serious celebrity connections thanks to her work as a makeup artist. She has also served as Martha Stewart’s longtime personal makeup artist.
Hailey Glassman is also 39 years old. Hailey works in public relations and has worked alongside her father, plastic surgeon Dr. Lawrence Glassman.
Carole Radziwill Is the Oldest RHONY Season 16 Cast Member
Sai De Silva is 42. The lifestyle content creator launched Scout the City as a blog in 2014 before expanding into fashion.
Jessel Taank is 46. Originally from London, Jessel moved to New York to pursue her career in fashion. She works as a fashion publicist and brand consultant and runs the boutique agency The Know, which specializes in working with emerging brands.
Then there’s Carole Radziwill.
At 63, Carole is the oldest cast member this season — and longtime RHONY viewers already know plenty about her life and career.
Carole is an award-winning journalist and author with three Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award, and a GLAAD Media Award.
