Remember NYC Prep? Here's What the Stars of the Controversial Bravo Show Are Up To Now
Now that the 2009 reality show is available to stream on Peacock, catch up on NYC Prep with a long overdue rewatch and a deep dive into where the stars of the show are now.
From the early 2000s obsession with reality TV and Gossip Girl emerged NYC Prep, the short-lived, but iconic Bravo reality show. The series, which aired in 2009 for one season, followed six New York City teenagers as they shopped on Fifth Avenue, attended New York Fashion Week shows, vacationed in the Hamptons, and indulged in heaps of gossip and plenty of drama. With love triangles, fallouts between BFFs, and Blair Waldorf-esque headbands aplenty, NYC Prep has reigned as one of the most raved-about reality series of the era.
If you've rediscovered NYC Prep as your guilty pleasure show thanks to its recent rerelease on Peacock, know you're not alone. The iconic series is a perfect time capsule of the era, reminding us of all the teenage drama and questionable fashion choices of the time. Whether you've just finished your nostalgia-induced rewatch or are discovering the reality show for the first time, join L'OFFICIEL in reminiscing on the wild reality series by checking up on its stars and seeing how they're faring these days.
Taylor DiGiovanni
Taylor DiGiovanni famously served as the group's Jenny Humphrey archetype, as the reality show was riding the Gossip Girl wave that had swept the entertainment industry. She attended a public school in Battery Park during the filming of the series but afterwards DiGiovanni, who had been a fan favorite on the show, retreated from the spotlight and does not currently have a public social media presence.
Camille Hughes
Although she didn't end up at Harvard as she had once dreamed, Camille Hughes—who fashioned herself as the Blair Waldorf of NYC Prep—attended the College of William and Mary. Following her graduation, Hughes worked in product development for Arbonne, a vegan skincare and lifestyle brand.
Hughes has left NYC for sunny California, where she currently lives with her husband and son.
Jessica Leavitt
Although many of the former NYC Prep stars have taken different directions in life than they planned at 16, Jessica Leavitt, who was notably vocal about her love for the fashion world during her days on screen, has stuck with her passion following the wrap of the show. After graduating high school, Leavitt stayed in New York City to attend school at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and currently works as a senior visual merchandiser for a luxury clothing brand.
Leavitt married her longtime boyfriend Jason Brown, who works as an investment analyst in New York City, in 2019, per a marriage announcement in the Sag Harbor Express. The couple currently live and work in New York City, staying true to their roots.
Sebastian Oppenheim
Sebastian Oppenheim left NYC for the South following the wrap of NYC Prep, where he attended the College of Charleston. Oppenheim kept up with Bravo following his departure from the spotlight of NYC Prep, but this time, the former reality star worked behind the camera as a production assistant, rather than in front of it.
These days, Oppenheim is working as the Head of Real Estate at Rove, traveling the world, and enjoying adulthood with his wife, Skyler Bouchard, and child. The couple married in 2019 and welcomed a son, Arlo, in December 2023.
Peter Cary "PC" Peterson
Although he was always at the center of drama during his NYC Prep days, PC Peterson seems to have taken to life behind the camera as an adult. The former reality star and heir currently works as a photographer in New York City, per his Instagram and website, and has amassed an expansive portfolio. In 2018, Peterson married Quentin Esme Brown, a longtime friend, in a buzzy Las Vegas wedding that boasted Tiffany Trump as a flower girl.
In 2020, the pair split, per The Sun, which reported that Brown filed for divorce.
Kelli Tomashoff
Throughout NYC Prep, Kelli Tomashoff flaunted her passion for music, and in 2011, the reality star-turned-singer released a single, "Gave Up On Love," which she performed at Sundance Film Festival later that year. Following the wrap of Season 1, Tomashoff enrolled in The New School, and worked as a publicity director following her graduation, per E! News.
