Congratulations to Amanda Seales on becoming the new co-host on “The Real.” The announcement was made on Monday morning during their first episode of the year. Seales has already been a previous guest in several episodes, and will now obtain a permanent seat at the table.

When she talked about being on the program she said, “We are in a business, and in a city where you are examined so much, you have to play the game. It really is silly when you can reach a space where there are four women with whom I get along on and off the screen. We have different personalities, different points of view, but this is the world.”

As many people know Tamar Braxton was one of the original co-hosts on the show, but parted ways after the second season in 2013. Over the years many guest presenters have attended the show, but Amanda is the first person to be announced as an official co-host since Tamar left. Once again congratulations to Amanda on the new venture!
