Fans of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta have been calling for a cast shakeup for a while. Ever since Nene Leakes seemingly left the show for good after Season 12, viewers felt that something was missing from the ensemble cast — which has only been made worse by Porsha Williams leaving the show behind. But now, it appears that producers are finally listening to fans.
Rumors have been running rampant about Bravo producers adding new women into the RHOA mix. Rapper Lightskin Keisha was said to be joining the ladies, but reports have yet to be confirmed. However, social media has been buzzing about Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross joining the family, and it appears that we finally have an answer.
So, is Sanya Richards-Ross joining RHOA? Read on to get the deets.

There have been tons of talk surrounding the decorated Olympian joining the Season 14 cast of RHOA. And while sources per LoveBScott, share that Sanya is set to film with the ladies on Season 14 of RHOA, things have seemingly gone very well. It appears that Sanya has become the newest peach-holder, aka a full-time castmember.
In a March 30, 2022 Bravo Instagram post, the network shared the cast photo for Season 14. Pictured with Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss, Drew Sidora, Marlo Hampton, and Sheree Whitfield is none other than Sanya — who looks drop dead gorgeous. Since Bravo never includes friends of the show in the official cast photo, it's safe to say that Sanya has earned her peach!
The trailer for the upcoming Season 14 reunion was released on March 30, 2022, and it gives fans a taste of what's to come from the ladies this season. Sanya gives viewers a glimpse of her life as a mom, athlete, and newly-minted Atlanta resident. Sanya can also be seen getting spicy with an unknown women in her native Jamaican dialect.
So, it's clear as day that Season 14 will be serving up a heart dose of drama that fans can't get enough of.
Best of all, the four-time Olympic gold medalist is no stranger to reality television. According to the outlet, Sanya and her husband — former NFL star Aaron Ross — had their own reality show, Sanya’s Glam & Gold on WeTV.
So, it's clear as day that Season 14 will be serving up a heart dose of drama that fans can't get enough of.
Sanya Richards-Ross has accumulated a sizable net worth over the years.
Since the Jamaican American athlete won four Olympic gold medals in track and field throughout the course of her career, fans expect her net worth to be on the sizable side — and it turns out that Sanya has done pretty well for herself.
Per Celebrity Net Worth, Sanya has accumulated a net worth of $2.5 million so far. This figure is the result of various endorsement and sponsorship deals, along with Sanya’s work as a NBC track and field analyst, author, and TV personality.
Sanya has also created the online community MommiNation, and has secured fitness partnerships with Nordic Track and Nike Women.

Sanya and Aaron Ross share a 4-year-old son together.
Aside from being a world-renowned track and field star, Sanya is quite the family woman. Sanya and her beau, two-time Super Bowl winning star Aaron Ross, have been married for 11 years.
On February 25, 2021, Sanya took to Instagram to celebrate their 11th anniversary with a sweet message.
The happy couple share a 4-year-old son, Aaron Jermaine Ross II, adorably called Deucey.
It’ll be interesting to see how Sanya fits in with the ladies on RHOA. Sanya clearly checks all the boxes, especially since she will be one of the few cast members who's actually married. Stay tuned.
