Today’s Sheinelle Jones is responding to rumors that she could be joining the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City.

“My phone continues to explode,” Jones, 47, said on the Friday, September 26, episode of Today With Jenna and Friends. “My phone for the last 72 hours has been exploding.”

Guest Andy Cohen appeared visibly shocked to hear the morning show veteran was facing rumors that she could be joining Bravo’s juicy reality show.

“Well, this didn’t get to me,” he joked. “Would you ever?”

To the surprise of Jenna Bush Hager, Jones didn’t immediately say no to the idea.

“I bumped into June Ambrose,” Jones said. “I talked to everyone on the list, and we’re all like, ‘Ah!’ The last week and a half, [there’s been rumors.] I plead the fifth.”

While Bush Hager, 43, joked that “you can’t leave us like that,” Cohen, 57, was impressed with the answer.

“It’s the game,” he replied. “And she left the door open.”

Earlier this month, Bravo fan site BravoandCocktails received a tip that Jones, Ambrose, 54, and other New Yorkers were in negotiations to join The Real Housewives of New York City for season 16.

Bravo doesn’t comment on casting rumors and has not made any official decisions on a new season.

Jones later seemingly denied she would be participating in an upcoming season when she ended the segment by saying, “Relax, I’m not on this next season. Everyone’s like, ‘Are you really?!’ Look at [Andy]. He’s, like, salivating. It’s just good television. Leave me alone.”

To her credit, Jones already had quite the impressive tagline when Cohen stopped by Today to celebrate 10 years of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy.

“Wearing Chanel is nice,” Jones said, “but being Shienelle is the ultimate luxury.”

Fans of The Real Housewives of New York City have been patiently waiting for any updates on the show ever since season 15 finished airing in February.

Cameras rolled as Racquel Chevremont, Erin Lichy, Rebecca Minkoff, Ubah Hassan, Sai De Silva, Brynn Whitfield, Jenna Lyons and Jessel Taank showcased their lives, friendships and fallouts.

Since the show wrapped, both Minkoff, 44, and Whitfield, 39, announced they would not be returning to the show for season 16.

While appearing on The View in June, Cohen confirmed that fans should expect to see some new faces when the show returns.

“We are between seasons, where we typically do a little casting, which is what’s happening now, and we’re very close,” he said at the time.

Jones herself has experienced a season of change in recent months. She resumed cohosting Today’s third hour on September 5 after taking a leave from the morning show in December 2024 to care for her husband, Uche Ojeh. He died in May at the age of 45 following a battle with brain cancer.

While returning to work has had its ups and downs, Jones said she remains grateful for all the support from viewers across the country.

“I had one of the most heartfelt conversations I’ve ever had with my mom because she’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, everybody’s so excited to have you back,’ and my father, and people at the grocery store sending me messages,” Jones shared on the Monday, September 22, episode of Today. “It’s heartwarming.”
