Andy Cohen’s secret wish list just leaked. And on it, the Bravo TV producer had named all the women that keep rejecting him as potential Real Housewives superstars. But as the spilled wish list details reveal, they share certain reasons for wanting to bypass the reality TV show, via Page Six.
And the top five women on Cohen’s wish list have become known as Bravo’s Real Housewives’ “Holy Grail.” They include (drum roll, please) Vanessa Bryant, Chrissy Teigen, Julia Fox, Jana Kramer, and Ayda Field Williams.

However, Vanessa, the widow of Lakers star Kobe Bryant, declined the offer. And casting director Jennifer Redinger admitted the rejections. “Kobe Bryant’s wife, Vanessa Bryant?

Real Housewives Spoilers – Meet Lisa Rinna’s Replacements
But Cohen’s rumored Real Housewives wish list also includes not just one but two replacements for Lisa Rinna. The Days Of Our Lives alum exited Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) recently.
And both Ayda Field Williams, the wife of British pop star Robbie Williams, and Chrissy Teigen, a supermodel and TV personality married to John Legend, seem like possible replacements for Rinna. Teigen, 37, ranks as RHOBH star Kyle Richard’s top choice to succeed Rinna.
However, although Teigen loves Real Housewives, she prefers her role as a fan. And Chrissy shared, “A lot of people think that I, like, love conflict or I’d be so good on, like, ‘Real Housewives’ or something. I’m always like, ‘No, no.’” But some hope that Andy can change her mind.

However, Field also ranks as a possibility. Already friends with cast member Crystal Kung Minkoff, Ayda recently moved to Los Angeles with her husband. But thus far, she has backed off the offers. And a production insider explained why. “Ayda didn’t think it was the right time to start filming the ‘Real Housewives’ this year,” said the source. “Because it would have gone very deep into the family’s private life.”
But two other women round out Andy’s wish list. And they include country singer and actress Jana Kramer and actress Julia Fox. Fox has discussed the potential to join Real Housewives Of New York City (RHONY). And she shared, “Never say never” to Andy on an episode of his talk show, Watch What Happens Live.
