Karamo Brown, a star of the show Queer Eye, spoke to Us Weekly about the addition of Jeremiah Brent to the cast. Brown expressed excitement about Brent joining the show, describing him as talented, driven, and fun. Despite Bobby Berk’s departure from the show, Brown believes Brent will bring a new sense of style to the series, though not necessarily something entirely different from what was already there.
Berk announced his exit from Queer Eye after six years with the series, citing reasons such as scheduling challenges and a loss of interest as contributing factors. According to a source, the decision to bring in fresh blood was mutual between the network and the cast. While some sources claim Berk wasn’t asked to leave the show and that the decision was amicable, it was clear that his heart was no longer fully invested in the series, leading to some tension with the rest of the cast.
Season 8 marked Berk’s final season as Queer Eye’s interior design expert, and he has since moved on to other projects, including scripted shows and his design firm. He made the decision to depart the show after feeling that it was time to explore new opportunities outside of Queer Eye. While Berk’s future involvement in the show remains uncertain, Karamo Brown stated that it is not something within his control.
Brown also spoke about his relationship with Carlos Medel, whom he has been dating since 2021. The couple is happy and content with their relationship, with Brown emphasizing the importance of open communication and minimal conflicts. While the idea of marriage is something they have considered, Brown is content with the current state of their relationship and is hesitant to change anything that might disrupt their happiness.
Despite Berk’s departure from Queer Eye, the addition of Jeremiah Brent is set to bring a fresh perspective and style to the show. Brown is optimistic about the upcoming season and believes that audiences will enjoy seeing Brent’s unique approach to the makeover process. While Berk’s time on the show has come to an end, he has expressed gratitude for the experience and is looking forward to new opportunities in his career. Brown remains supportive of his former castmate and is focused on continuing to provide entertaining and meaningful content on Queer Eye.
