Lydia Mclaughlin has an announcement to make.
And it's an announcement you may have heard her make before.
The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member took to her official blog on Friday and confirmed that she will no longer be a Real Housewives of Orange County cast member
“RHOC has given me a great platform and I’m grateful for that. However, I feel like I can only handle this show one season at a time,” McLaughlin wrote online, adding:
“I need a break! There is a lot of good that comes from the show, but also a lot of negativity.
"After a family vote, it was unanimous that I should take a break. Sometimes the people who love us the most see things even we don’t see.
"I trust my path and I’m excited for what the future holds.”
Indeed, McLaughlin initially joined this Bravo franchise in season 8.
She departed the cable network hit just before season 9, yet returned last year as a full-time cast member for season 12.
Earlier this year, it was also reported that Meghan King Edmonds would not return to Orange County for next season.
She swears this was her decision.
And McLaughlin insists the same.
“Bravo and Evolution have been amazing to me and I have made great friendships," she continued on her blog, expounding:
"I treasure all my fans and appreciate all the love and support.
"I’ve been honored to be a source of entertainment and inspiration to all of you and I hope to continue spreading light and love.
"Being a full time mom to THREE little boys, publisher of NOBLEMAN Magazine, blogger, jewelry designer, author, and wife, I have a lot going on!
"I will continue to share my life and faith and use this platform to be a lightworker.”
In other words: we haven't heard the last from Lydia McLaughlin.
We've just seen the last of her on Bravo.
McLaughlin and her husband, Doug, have three kids:
- Stirling, 8.
- Maverick, 6.
- Roman, 2.
These children, Doug and even McLaughlin's mother have been featured on The Real Housewives of Orange County at various points.
We don't know just when when season 13 will air, but it's clear the cast will look a bit different whenever that date arrives.
Any suggestions for women who should fill these two open slots?
