The 50-year-old Bravo alum stunned her co-stars, friends, and fans after sharing a video celebrating her fitness journey to Instagram on April 29.

Then, in 2026 and set to Eve’s “Who’s That Girl?”, Simpson rocks a two-piece bikini from Vetchy. As she tussles her hair and hits several poses, the reality star proudly shows off her new figure from all angles.

Inside Emily Simpson’s Transformation
GettySimpson has been open about her fitness journey in recent years, after she noticed in early 2023 that she had put on weight while watching herself on “Real Housewives of Orange County” at the time.
In a June 2023 interview with Jeff Lewis, per PEOPLE, she confirmed she had liposuction on her arms and a breast reduction in January that year. She added that, for a month before that, she was on Ozempic, calling it a “great kickstart” to losing weight. Simpson shared that she lost 5-7 pounds before she stopped taking it, saying the drug made her feel “lethargic.”
When one fan suggested Simpson’s recent Before & After video was thanks to Ozempic, RHONJ’s Jennifer Fessler responded, “I see her EVERY SINGLE DAY at the gym. She’s buster A$$! That’s work! Not Ozempic.”
Simpson herself also left some clapping emojis after another fan wrote, “Those saying Ozempic need to realize Ozempic doesn’t firm up the flabby skin. Emily works out hard to get these results. Give her the credit she deserves.”
Responding to another comment, Simpson also confirmed, “I have had zero surgeries in between then and now.”
A look at the RHOC star’s Instagram feed, meanwhile, shows post after post of her at the gym. In the photos and videos, she’s seen doing pull-ups, kettlebell exercises, and arm presses.
