RHOBH’s Boz Saint John on IVF Journey, Hamptons Drama & Daughter’s Maserati

Los Angeles, CA – February 22, 2026 – The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Bozoma “Boz” Saint John continues to share her deeply personal journey with in vitro fertilization (IVF) with her fiancé, Keely Watson, offering a candid update on the challenges and emotional toll the process has taken. Saint John, 49, has been open about her fertility struggles on the Bravo reality series, sparking a wave of support and connection with viewers facing similar difficulties. Her willingness to be vulnerable on screen, coupled with navigating the complexities of relationships within the cast, has made her a compelling figure this season. The businesswoman recently discussed the ongoing process, a recent trip to Italy with her castmates, and a generous gift to her daughter, Lael, in a recent interview.

Saint John revealed that despite continued efforts, the IVF treatments have not yet been successful. “It is ongoing and we haven’t been successful yet, but I am still here. We’re still hopeful. We’re still going,” she shared during a February 19 interview with Extra. This openness comes as Saint John navigates the pressures of reality television and the public scrutiny that comes with it. The decision to document her fertility journey on RHOBH was not taken lightly, but she has found solace in the outpouring of encouragement from fans who have shared their own experiences.

Finding Strength in Shared Experiences

Saint John emphasized the positive impact of sharing her story, noting the supportive community that has emerged. “People have been so encouraging. Of course, there have been the critics, which you have to just seize with a grain of salt, but there’s so many people who are like, ‘Oh girl, keep going. I did five rounds and then got my baby.’ People have been so wonderfully supportive,” she gushed. The experience has highlighted the prevalence of infertility and the emotional weight it carries for many individuals and couples. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1 in 6 couples in the United States experience infertility . Saint John’s willingness to discuss her struggles contributes to destigmatizing the conversation around fertility and encourages others to seek support.

However, Saint John too acknowledged the emotional difficulty of being so open. “It’s been so scary to be that vulnerable,” she admitted. “I haven’t had a problem telling people about my life cuz I just experience like, hey, look, this is a human experience. I don’t believe I knew how many people go through the IVF journey and how difficult it is for everybody who goes through it. I don’t think I’ve talked to one person who was like ‘It was a breeze. It was fine.’ No. It’s difficult,” she reasoned. “It’s filled with anxiety and hormones that make you feel ill and being bloated. Sometimes I looked at myself on camera, like during the season watching, and I’m just like, ‘Oh god.’ It was difficult.” The physical and emotional toll of IVF is well-documented, with many patients reporting significant stress, anxiety, and depression throughout the process.

Navigating Cast Dynamics and a Hamptons Snub

Beyond her fertility journey, Saint John also addressed recent drama within the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast. She revealed her disappointment at being excluded from a trip to the Hamptons organized by fellow cast member Rachel Zoe. “Erika [Jayne] had the best line. She said, ‘Why are we not in the Hamptons? I’m stuck here with the money queen mat [Amanda Frances].’ I was like, ‘Oh man, you are right. How did we get left behind?’” Saint John recalled. The incident sparked conversation about shifting alliances and dynamics within the group.

Saint John suggested that Zoe’s intention was to create a more relaxed atmosphere with Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley. “Let’s see if it works,” she stated, adding that she considers both Zoe and Kemsley close friends. “Rachel and Dorit are my homies,” she revealed. These interpersonal dynamics are a hallmark of the Real Housewives franchise, often providing a source of conflict and entertainment for viewers. The show’s success relies heavily on the authenticity of these relationships and the willingness of the cast members to share their lives, both the triumphs and the tribulations.

A Generous Gift and Upcoming Italy Trip

In a lighter moment, Saint John shared a heartwarming story about her daughter, Lael. After Lael expressed her desire for a Maserati, Saint John decided to surprise her with the luxury vehicle for her 16th birthday. “She didn’t pitch for a Maserati, but I decided to add some extra sauce on it. I didn’t have a Maserati at 16, so this is actually kind of a dream come true for me to be able to offer her something that I wish I could’ve had when I was 16,” she admitted. This gesture highlights Saint John’s close relationship with her daughter and her desire to provide her with opportunities she may not have had herself.

The cast’s upcoming trip to Italy also promises to be a significant storyline this season. Saint John teased that the trip was filled with “funny bits” and “tears, some big ones,” suggesting a range of emotional experiences for the women. The international setting often serves as a catalyst for drama and self-discovery on The Real Housewives, and viewers can anticipate a compelling narrative unfolding in Italy.

The Ongoing Journey and Finding Support

Saint John’s openness about her IVF journey resonates with many who have faced similar challenges. Her story underscores the importance of seeking support, both from loved ones and from communities of individuals who understand the emotional and physical complexities of infertility. The CDC estimates that approximately 12% of women aged 15-44 in the United States have difficulty getting pregnant . Resources like RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association offer valuable information, support groups, and advocacy for those navigating infertility.

As Saint John continues to navigate her fertility journey, she remains hopeful and determined. Her willingness to share her experiences on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills not only provides entertainment for viewers but also fosters a sense of community and understanding for those facing similar struggles. The show’s continued success hinges on its ability to connect with audiences on a personal level, and Saint John’s vulnerability undoubtedly contributes to that connection.
