Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard star Jordan Emanuel made her Watch What Happens Live debut, where she revealed to host Andy Cohen that they met long before she landed a spot on Bravo’s latest reality show.

During Sunday night’s (May 21) episode of WWHL, Cohen held up a grainy photo of the duo from years before. He said, “Jordan showed me this before the show. This totally blew me away. This is you. You came to one of my book signings. This is like 10-plus years ago.”

When he asked if she remembered their conversation, Emanuel replied, “Yes. Do you want to know what you said? You were like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know this was a supermodel casting.'”

Still gushing over the “full-circle moment,” Cohen added, “I love this. That’s amazing,” before telling reality TV’s newest star, “You manifested this,” to which she said, “I sure did.”

Emanuel — who was the only Black Playboy bunny to become Playmate of the Year when she received the title in 2019 — also worked as a journalist as well as co-founded the nonprofit Women with Voices prior to joining the new series, which is a Martha’s Vineyard-based spinoff of Summer House.

The show follows an entirely new, all-Black cast as they vacation together in the New England hotspot. Emanuel goes way back with a handful of her castmates as she worked as a Playboy bunny alongside Shanice Henderson, Bria Fleming and Jasmine Ellis Cooper — who is married to their other co-star, Silas Cooper.

Cohen later attempted to draw out information about Jasmine during Emanuel’s visit to The Clubhouse, when she was asked to name one thing her friend did in her single days that Silas does not know about.

“That’s breaking girl code,” Emanuel said, before adding that they’ve known each other for “six years,” to which Cohen quipped, “I just want to say. I’ve known you the longest.”

Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard airs on Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
