There's a new 'Wife in town. Bravo has announced that Stephanie Shojaee will appear on Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Miami as the cast's newest Housewife.

The Daily Dish spoke exclusively to Stephanie about joining RHOM for the upcoming new season. "So I've always been a trailblazer in everything that I do. All my decisions and all of my choices are always surprising everybody," she shared. She added that "when the opportunity knocked" to appear on the new season, she answered. "I was like, 'I think I just have to take it. I think the timing feels right and here I am.' And what better way to show who I really am than to do it on The [Real] Housewives of Miami."
Stephanie went on to describe the experience of joining RHOM as a "rollercoaster ride." She added, "Oh my gosh, I did not know what to expect going into this, but I'm blown away in every sense of the word."

Who is The Real Housewives of Miami Season 7's new Housewife Stephanie Shojaee?
While fans will have to wait for the new season of RHOM to premiere to get to know Stephanie better, she revealed a bit more about herself.
"The best way that I can describe myself is that I'm like this very tough cookie, but I'm a delicious cookie," she said. "I'm one of those really, really large cookies that not everybody can eat all at once and they don't even want to eat it all at once, but there's just so much that I bring that I bring to the table. I'm the twist that no one's prepared for in every setting: whether it's in the office, whether it's at a family dinner, wherever it is. Nobody really expects what I'm gonna say, and I'm just excited to show how much happiness and excitement."
Where is Stephanie Shojaee from?
Stephanie was "born and raised in Miami." "For me, Miami, it's a playground," she said, adding, "It's really the best place to be."
What does Stephanie Shojaee do for a living?
Stephanie has a career as a real estate developer. "There's actually not many female real estate developers," she said. "[My job], it's the actually buying the land, putting up a high rise, 800 units; or [building] rental communities and building a whole leasing team and developing units. There's a lot. It's a lot of fun."
Who is Stephanie Shojaee's husband?
Stephanie is married to Masoud Shojaee and, yes, the couple works together. "Working alongside your husband is not for everybody, and I feel like people are gonna be able to see that relationship and they're gonna be able to see our relationship outside of the office, which is it's a beautiful relationship," she said.
And when they aren't wheeling and dealing in the real estate world, they are finding time together and bonding over their love of a good meal: "When I'm not working because I'm a serious workaholic, I like to unwind by going to the culinary scene because my husband and I are huge foodies."
