Move over, Andy Cohen, there’s a new Bravo superfan in town, and he’s a Hollywood heavyweight. Ben Stiller, the comedic genius behind Zoolander and Meet the Parents, has a not-so-secret obsession with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And no, this isn’t some passing phase, he’s been a die-hard fan for years. His adoration for RHOBH doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, either, as he can’t stop talking about the show at this year’s Emmys.

Ben Stiller used Real Housewives as a bonding moment

Ben’s love for the Housewives isn’t just a solo affair. He and his daughter, Ella, have turned watching RHOBH into a cherished father-daughter ritual. In a candid chat with Andy Cohen, he revealed that Ella introduced him to the show during her drama school days. They’ve since bonded over the series, finding it a delightful escape from their hectic lives, per People.

Oscars proved he was a Housewives stan

At the 2025 Oscars, Stiller couldn’t help but gush about his favourite Housewives. He shared how he and Ella had just watched an episode where Dorit Kemsley and Kyle Richards reconciled, praising their maturity amidst personal challenges. His genuine admiration for the cast was evident, proving that even A-listers can’t resist the allure of reality TV.

He said: “It just felt to me like they’re both going through this separation… So, why couldn’t they be there to support each other?” per E! Online.

He’s tweeted along for years

True fans don’t just watch, they engage, obviously! Ben took to X (formerly Twitter) during a particularly juicy RHOBH episode, sharing his real-time reactions. His tweets were a hit among fans, showcasing his deep knowledge of the show and its intricate dynamics. Ok stan, we see you!

From Severance to Salt Lake City

Balancing his role as the executive producer of Severance, Ben still manages to find time to indulge in his Bravo obsession. He humorously mentioned that while he’s caught up on RHOBH, he’s been advised to dive into Salt Lake City next. However, with its extensive seasons, he joked about the daunting task of catching up. He also confirmed he’s only just finished watching RHOBH at the 2025 Emmys. And, is yet to make a start on RHONY.

He’s actually commended the craft

It’s not just the drama that draws Ben in. He apparently genuinely appreciates the craftsmanship behind the show. In discussions with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM radio show, he commended the editing and storytelling of RHOBH, likening it to the meticulous work on Severance. His insights reveal a deep respect for reality TV production.

Emmys confirm Ben’s still watching

Speaking to E! News, Ben revealed where he’s at with watching Real Housewives these days. He revealed he came face-to-face with Garcelle Beauvais the night before the Emmys. Ben explained: “It took me a while to catch up at the end of this season of Beverly Hills… We actually saw Garcelle last night, and I was able to talk to her about that last moment where she stormed off.”

The actor went on to admit he “couldn’t imagine being a Housewife,” adding: “They’re real people and they’re putting their lives out there… I can’t imagine how they do it. I’m fascinated.”
