Margaret Josephs is spilling the tea about E!’s The Golden Life after confirming her cameo to Us!
“Maybe I did a little stint in Palm Beach,” Margaret, 59, exclusively told Us Weekly while attending the Vulture Reality Masterminds Celebration at The Lawn Club in New York City on Thursday, May 7.
While Margaret initially played coy about her participation in E!’s upcoming reunion show — which is focused on former Real Housewives of New York stars — she did eventually tease what fans can expect from the series.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum told Us that Florida was “warm” and “fun,” before confirming, “I was with iconic women that I always love.”
Margaret gushed about the cast, saying, “They’re my friends. I admire them.”
Although she didn’t reveal how many episodes she’ll be featured on, Margaret was adamant that viewers will love every minute.
“I think that’s going to be a very spectacular show. I think it’s going to be a really spectacular show,” she declared.
E! confirmed in February that the network had greenlit the new show, starring RHONY alums Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon and Sonja Morgan, all of whom now live in Palm Beach, Florida.
“Bound by decades of shared history, fallouts and friendship, this fan-favorite group of New Yorkers are starting fresh together in the Sunshine State,” E! announced in a press release at the time. “In this new ‘golden’ era of life, the longtime friends are thriving in and around Palm Beach with fabulous second homes and a bustling social scene. With their signature humor and nonstop hijinks, the series will follow the group as they navigate dating, family and career milestones. Though skies are bright in Florida, unresolved drama looms as they reconnect after years of highs and lows.”
Earlier this month, the network released the first look at the show, which will be 10 episodes.
After joking about not having the stamina to date younger men, and Ramona’s need for “turtle time” a.k.a. lying down daily, the women declared they are living their “best lives” in Florida and want fans to come along for the ride.

While Margaret will not be a full-time cast member on The Golden Life, she’s been staying busy shooting with the RHONY ladies after exiting RHONJ in March.
“Thank you and good night,” Margaret captioned an Instagram video on March 24, tagging Bravo, producer Andy Cohen and NBCUniversal. “Hi guys, it’s The Marge, I’m dialing in. I have to tell you something that might come as a little surprise to you, but not for me. I’ve been thinking about a lot of different things and I am moving on from The [Real] Housewives of New Jersey.”
Margaret, who made her RHONJ debut during season 8 in 2017, noted she’d been speaking with Bravo since December 2025 about her departure.
“I think the timing is right. A lot of things have changed in my life. I’ve been blessed to work on a different project, I’m on the set right now,” she teased. “I realized I have to spend more time with my family, work on my designing and just take a break and move on.”
Us exclusively confirmed that same month that Margaret is one of the stars of Savannah Chrisley’s new Amazon series, which will also feature Real Housewives alums Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kenya Moore and former Bachelorettes Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jenn Tran, among other reality stars.
“It’s like Eat, Pray, Love,” a source told Us in March of the untitled show, which has been described as “basically a spin on Bravo’s Girls Trip franchise.” (Bravo’s Ultimate Girls Trip follows several Real Housewives stars as they travel to a vacation destination.)
Margaret, for her part, told Us on Thursday, “I filmed another show already for Amazon Prime, which I’m very happy with. It was an amazing show.”
