New RHOM castmate Stephanie Shojaee opens up on not wanting children

The Real Housewives of Miami's latest star, Stephanie Shojaee, is opening up about why she chooses not to have children.

Shojaee made her debut on Wednesday, July 2, on the Bravo show. According to People magazine, she is from Miami and is a friend of Larsa Pippen. In the segment, she met with Larsa, Julia Lemigova, and Marysol Patton over drinks, where she confessed that she doesn't like kids.

The 40-year-old real estate developer said at one point in the episode,

“I knew at a very young age that I wanted to be filthy rich.” In a confessional, she said, “I’m sleeping and I [wake up] and go like, ‘We gotta make money.’”

However, she said she did once think about becoming a mom:

“Along the way, I did have moments where I thought, ‘Hey maybe you will want kids, maybe you should freeze your eggs.’ And then I looked at my calendar and I don’t even have time to go to the doctor to freeze my eggs. I don’t really have time to go p--.”

She continued,

“I’m not where I am because I married Masoud Shojaee. Yes, maybe I got a little bit of help, but everybody in life gets a little bit of help.”

People has reported that Stephanie Shojaee is the president of the Shoma Group real estate developer. She works alongside her husband, Masoud Shojaee, who is the CEO of the company that is the third-largest real estate development firm in Florida.

In her debut episode, Stephanie Shojaee recalled meeting Masoud 15 years ago. She was 26 and he was 50 years old at the time.

“Age difference was a really big deal for me,” she shared. “I did not want to be seen with an older gentleman because of the misconception of people thinking that you are with an older guy, you are probably a gold digger. And then I met Masoud and everything changed.”

Stephanie Shojaee said she got "a little bit of help" to reach her position today:

“Yes, maybe I got a little bit of help, but everybody in life gets a little bit of help."

Days before her debut episode aired, the business executive walked the red carpet at the Season 7 premiere party, where she spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the suggestions she got from the other housewives, and her “possibly” being “the richest Housewife ever," the outlet reported at the time.

Per Yahoo! Entertainment, when asked how she felt about having a lot of focus on her wealth, Stephanie Shojaee told Entertainment Tonight:

“You know, it’s really funny because they say that I’m ‘new money.’ I am!” She added, “Can you tell by the clips?," referring to her Chanel hair clips. “Listen, I do like to dress expensive,” she continued. “You never really know who’s the richest ’cause you never know who has it and isn’t flaunting it. But I do tend to be one of the ones who flaunts it the most.”

Stephanie Shojaee also spoke with The Daily Dish in November last year about what it's like to be a woman in real estate.

“There’s actually not many female real estate developers,” she told the outlet at the time. “[My job], it’s the actually buying the land, putting up a high rise, 800 units; or [building] rental communities and building a whole leasing team and developing units. There’s a lot. It’s a lot of fun.”
