'It feels great. It's actually a little surreal,' Heather told DailyMailTV of being a Housewife once more.
After leaving the series in season 11, Dubrow always kept the door open to return with a 'never say never' mentality and she told Thomas Roberts that the time was finally right.
'Here's the thing, my daughter Max came out as bisexual a couple of years ago, and we were just flooded with such incredible support, amazing comments,' she began.
'And I thought, wouldn't it be kind of cool to show what our version of a normal family looks like? And maybe we can continue these conversations that we've been having in our home and maybe help some other people? Wouldn't that be cool?'

Max came out to her family and the public at large in 2020 at the age of 17. With the support of Heather and husband Dr. Terry Dubrow, Max recently penned a book for other parents about dealing with teenage sexuality, I’ll Give It to You Straightish.
Returning to the show was 'surreal' for the reality star who explained that filming was complicated, feeling both the same and different the second time around.
'If you see the first episode, we sit down and we have a family dinner. What's so crazy is five years gone, cameras everywhere, having this family dinner and we do the whole thing,' she revealed. 'We all looked at each other and went, "oh, that was so weirdly normal."
