'The Real' Unveils New Co-Host To Replace Tamera Mowry-Housley

The Real has filled in the empty co-hosting seat on the panel with Garcelle Beauvais.

On Monday (August 24), Variety broke the big news, revealing that the actress, 53, will take the vacated spot on the panel, which currently includes Loni Love, Jeannie Mai and Adrienne Houghton. In July, Tamera Mowry-Housley announced that she would be leaving the syndicated talkshow after six seasons to spend more time with family and “embark on the next chapter of [her] life."

Beauvais shared her excitement over the news in a statement. "I am thrilled to be joining the dynamic, bold and diverse women on the award-winning talk show The Real," she said. "My love for pop culture and news, blended with my natural gift of gab, has always made me gravitate towards a talk show environment. It’s also exciting that it’s happening right after my amazing time joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

Earlier this year, Beauvais made waves when she was announced as the first Black castmate on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Most known for her roles on The Jamie Foxx Show and NYPD Blue, the star has recently appeared in Spider-Man: Homecoming and CBS All Access series' Tell Me a Story.

Season 7 of The Real kicks off on September 21.
