The RHOA cast doesn’t shy away from having conversations (or throwing shade) about aging, either. On the show, many cast members, such as Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams, openly shared their experiences of giving birth to their daughters (Brooklyn and Pilar, respectively) later in life. Others, like Cynthia Bailey, remarried Mike Hill at age 53. Although they’re making strides at any age, some Bravo fans may not know how old the cast members are. Here’s what we know about the RHOA cast’s ages.
