Martin, who has been with the Bravo reality show since it was revived on Peacock in 2021, posted a heartbreaking message to Instagram on Friday, explaining why she’s chosen to demote herself to a “friend of” the ‘wives moving forward.

“On March 26th, we proudly welcomed our daughter, baby Genevieve, arriving 5 weeks ahead of schedule and spending almost 2 weeks in the NICU,” Martin begins. “After this pregnancy, I started to suffer from significant postpartum anxiety something new that I did not experience with my previous pregnancy. It all started about a week after giving birth when I found myself having an overwhelming sense of worry and fear out of nowhere. It felt like my mind was constantly on high alert, panicked and worrying endlessly about the health of my baby, myself and my family.”

Martin goes on to emphasize how common postpartum anxiety is, despite the rarity with which it’s discussed. By sharing her experiences, she hopes to offer “comfort and strength” to other women experiencing similar struggles.

“This is a part of my life that I am learning to navigate, and it’s been an emotional rollercoaster,” she continues. “Given where I am right now, I have decided not to return to RHOM as a full-time cast member. Prioritizing my health and my family is something I need to do at this moment. It’s a step towards healing and finding balance, and I hope you can understand and support this choice.”

She concludes by thanking fans for being a part of her journey. “I hope that my openness can help others who might be struggling and encourage us all to support one another through our most challenging times,” she says.

Season 7 of Miami , which has not been given an official premiere date, will star Alexia Nepola, Larsa Pippen, Lisa Hochstein, Guerdy Abraira and Julia Lemigova. Additionally, Adriana de Moura, Marysol Patton and Kiki Barth will return as “friends of,” along with Martin.
