Rachel Zoe Is Doing ‘Endless Girls’ Nights’ Amid Rodger Berman Divorce

Rachel Zoe can count on her friends to be by her side as she navigates her divorce from estranged husband Rodger Berman.

“[We do] a lot of girls’ nights. Endless girls’ nights,” the fashion designer, 53, exclusively told Us Weekly while attending the launch party for Nicky Hilton x Rebecca Vallance’s Holiday Collection hosted by MyTheresa on Saturday, October 5. “And really [it’s] more girls’ nights than I’ve ever done.”

One of those friends the superstar stylist credits for support is Nicky Hilton, who recently launched her holiday collaboration with designer Vallance. And in honor of the momentous occasion, Zoe donned Hilton’s Alivia gown — that she gushed is “gorgeous” — for the party which was held at the socialite’s family home in Bel Air. The get-together also doubled as a celebration for Hilton’s 41st birthday.

Zoe added that spending quality time with her girlfriends during a difficult period in her life has only made her appreciate them even more.

“Truthfully, if nothing else that I’ve realized is [that] I have the absolute greatest friends in the entire world. I really do. And a lot of them,” she gushed. “I feel very blessed and very grateful for that. Every single day I wake up with my heart full every day.”

In September, Zoe announced that she and Berman, 56, called it quits after 26 years of marriage.

“After 33 years together and 26 years married, Rodger and I have come to the mutual decision to end our marriage. We are incredibly proud of the loving family we have created and our countless memories together,” she wrote via an Instagram statement. “Our number one priority has been and will always be our children. We are committed to coparent our boys and to continue to work together within the many businesses we share. We ask for privacy during this time as we navigate this new chapter.”

While Zoe is dealing with a new transition, she’s finding her strength by taking it day by day.

“I feel very strong,” she told Us about her mindset while approaching the impending holiday season. “I feel good, I don’t know what else to say. Like, I feel good and, you know, just navigating every day as it comes.”

Zoe, who shares sons Skyler, 13, and Kaius, 11, with her ex, added that having a strong support system helps keep her focused on the path forward.

“I’ve lived enough life to know that nothing is easy,” she reflected. “I think it’s like … for me it’s just about my family, about my kids, and keeping amazing people in my life. I am so blessed to have so many incredible people in my life and friends that have shown up for me and friends that I’m gonna keep showing up for.”
