Nneka Ihim<\/strong> is saying goodbye to The Real Housewives of Potomac<\/i><\/a> after one season with the Bravo reality show, Us Weekly<\/em> can confirm.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will not be returning for season 9 of RHOP<\/i>,\u201d Ihim, 36, said in a statement to People<\/i><\/a> on Monday, May 13. \u201cAs a true resident of Potomac proper, 20854, just know that I\u2019ll be seeing you all again soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although the first-generation Nigerian-American cast member expressed \u201csincere appreciation\u201d to Bravo for the opportunity to appear on the show, she is focused on expanding her family with husband Dr. Ikenna Ihim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point, after multiple failed fertility procedures, I have decided to make expanding my family my ultimate priority,\u201d Nneka explained about her decision to exit the show. \u201cThank you to the fans that have supported me along the way this season, especially regarding my difficult IUI turned IVF journey, and the stigma surrounding infertility. All of the kind remarks have genuinely kept me uplifted and have fueled my determination to continue to share my story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOver the years, the Real Housewives of Potomac series has parted ways with several cast members. Viewers said goodbye to Monique Samuels after her altercation with Candiace Dillard-Bassett during season 5 made her reconsider her time on the show. After joining the series in 2017, Monique and Candiace initially formed a close friendship. Things took [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

During season 8 of RHOP<\/i>, Ihim didn\u2019t get along with fellow Nigerian Housewife Dr. Wendy Osefo<\/strong>. However, when announcing her departure, the lawyer and entrepreneur said she \u201cbuilt lifetime friendships with some incredible women through this experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Away from the cameras, Ihim recently joined costars Ashley Darby<\/strong>, Gizelle Bryant<\/strong>, Mia Thornton<\/strong> and Charrisse Jackson-Jordan<\/strong> for a friendly dinner. \u201cCelebrating @robyndixon10!\u2665\ufe0f\u2665\ufe0f,\u201d she wrote via Instagram<\/a> on March 17. \u201cHappy (early) Birthday Robyn!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

RHOP<\/i> is experiencing a cast shakeup as season 9 begins filming. In March, Candiace Dillard Bassett<\/a><\/strong> announced she was taking a break<\/a> from the show after six years. \u201cThis is not a farewell,\u201d she teased to People<\/i>, \u201cbut a \u2018see you later.\u2019\u201d Weeks later, the \u201cDrive Back\u201d singer announced she was expecting her first child<\/a> with husband Chris Bassett<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As for Robyn Dixon<\/strong>, she confirmed in April that she would not be returning to the show after eight seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe network did not invite me back,\u201d she said on the April 15 episode of her \u201cReasonably Shady\u201d podcast<\/a>. \u201cI was fired, for lack of better words. \u2026It\u2019s been such a fun, amazing, stressful, crazy, wild journey the past eight years.\u201d<\/p>\n
