rodger berman's introduction of a new girlfriend to his children without warning is at the center of Rachel Zoe’s public split, which she has been processing on Season 15 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Rodger Berman's role on RHOBH

The fallout from the separation has been depicted on the show, where Zoe’s reaction to unexpected personal developments has become a recurring thread. The divorce filing followed an incident in which Berman introduced the former couple’s children to his new girlfriend while dropping them off at camp; Zoe and the children had not been warned that the new partner would be present, and Zoe said she was extremely irked by that choice.

Divorce timing and public impact

Zoe and Berman had been married for 26 years when they separated in 2024. She filed for divorce while filming in July 2025, and the publicity around the filing surprised her; Zoe expected the proceedings to be more private. Because the children were away at camp when the filing hit the headlines, they were not exposed to the media coverage at that time. Zoe has said she will be honest with the children about what is happening.

Rachel Zoe’s children and birthdates

Zoe and Berman have two sons who have appeared on RHOBH and supported their mother’s decision to share aspects of family life on the show. Their first son, Skyler, was born on March 22, 2011. Their second son, Kaius, was born on December 22, 2013. Zoe has said she discussed the implications of appearing on the show with the boys and intended to be open with them about family developments.

Notable family incidents recalled

The family’s history includes a serious accident in 2020 when Skyler fell 40 feet from a ski lift and was hospitalized. The incident was described as having resulted in Skyler being taken to the emergency room in a full-body brace. Berman was with Skyler at the time, and an account of the event recounts challenges getting Skyler onto the chairlift, other adults attempting to help, and ski patrol placing a mat where Skyler was expected to fall. Zoe later called her son’s recovery a miracle and expressed gratitude to those who assisted during the ordeal.

• Key takeaways: Separation in 2024; divorce filing in July 2025; two sons (Skyler, born March 22, 2011; Kaius, born December 22, 2013).
