Fancy having a coffee with one of the Real Housewives? It’ll cost you upwards of four figures
This is unreal
Imagine scrolling Instagram, latte in hand, and realising that the dream of grabbing coffee with a Real Housewives star doesn’t have to stay in the group chat.
A growing number of Bravo stars are quietly signing up to meet fans IRL through a booking site called FanSocial.
Think Cameo, but instead of a video shout-out, it’s a two-hour lunch, drinks after work or even a cameo at your wedding?!
Of course, there’s a catch. These socials don’t come cheap. If you want Cynthia Bailey, Kelly Dodd or Countess Luann at your table, you’re looking at a bill solidly in the four-figure range already, before tip and travel, obviously.
You can meet a Real Housewife for coffee?!

The whole thing popped onto Bravo fans’ radar thanks to an Instagram carousel from meme account @mrhousewives, which highlighted that you can now book Real Housewives and other Bravo stars for personal events via FanSocial.
The post points followers to FanSocial, describing the stars as ‘Bravolebrities’ available for everything from weddings to wine nights, with prices “starting at $2K” and featuring faces like Shannon Beador, Luann de Lesseps and Shereé Whitfield.
So what is FanSocial, exactly?
According to the site, a “Social” is an in-person, one-on-one or small-group experience with a celebrity.
Popular options include coffee, lunch, drinks, dinner or a special event. FanSocial handles scheduling, vetting guests, reservations, payments and all the awkward logistics, so in theory your only job is to show up and try not to fangirl too hard.
And yes, Housewives are very much in the mix
A recent breakdown from reality-TV site Taste of Reality shows a roster of Bravo names who’ve quietly signed on.
On the Real Housewives side, you’ve got Atlanta’s Cynthia Bailey, Orange County’s Shannon Beador, Luann de Lesseps of RHONY, Orange County’s Kelly Dodd-Leventhal and Vicki Gunvalson, Margaret Josephs of RHONJ, Crystal Kung Minkoff of RHOBH and Shereé Whitfield from RHOA, plus other Bravolebrities like Reza Farahan and MJ Javid from Shahs of Sunset and Jeff Lewis.
It’s mega expensive

Here’s where things get spicy. The price list reads like a luxury tasting menu.
On FanSocial, Kelly Dodd-Leventhal charges around $1,000 for an hour of coffee or drinks, $2,000 for lunch and $3,500 for a two-hour dinner.
Cynthia Bailey’s rates are even higher! Coffee or drinks are listed at $2,000, lunch at $3,500 and dinner at $5,000, typically for up to three guests before extra per-person fees kick in.
Countess Luann de Lesseps keeps it chic and simple: a two-hour lunch or dinner in New York City or the Hamptons for $5,000.
Shereé Whitfield matches that $5,000 lunch or dinner tier but bumps coffee to $2,500 and special events to a cool $10,000 for two hours.
Vicki Gunvalson, the original ‘whoop it up’ queen, offers coffee for $2,000, brunch for $3,000 and dinner for $4,000.
