The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is reportedly adding Dorit Kemsley to its Season 7 cast.

According to a source close to Lisa Vanderpump -- who is definitely returning to the show -- Kemsley has signed on as a regular cast member, Us Weekly reported.

Kemsley is friends with Vanderpump and has been married to businessman Paul Kemsley for over a year now. Kemsley and her husband, who wed in March 2015, have one son together.

Despite previously expressing hesitation, Vanderpump tweeted on Thursday that she'll continue her stint on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Us had previously reported that the Vanderpump Rules star was considering a The Real Housewives departure until her husband Ken Todd talked her into sticking around.

"Ken convinced her to do this season," a source told the magazine. "She needed some arm-pulling."

Two familiar faces, however, are leaving The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills next season. Yolanda Foster announced last month she's done with the Bravo reality series after four seasons, while Kathryn Edwards is also exiting after only one season.

It remains unknown whether the rest of Season 6's cast members will be back: Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Eileen Davidson and Erika Girardi.

Bravo has declined comment on casting rumors, and a premiere date for Season 7 has yet to be announced.
