A (now former) Real Housewife of Potomac is confirming what's been speculated for weeks; she's leaving the Bravo show after just one season.

Nneka Ihim who debuted in #RHOP season 8, officially announced to PEOPLE that she's exiting the series becoming the third cast member to depart the show since this season wrapped.

The 36-year-old lawyer and entrepreneur told PEOPLE that instead of filming, she will continue to focus on her journey to have a child. This was her fist and only season on the show.

"I will not be returning for season 9 of RHOP," said Ihim. "At this point, after multiple failed fertility procedures, I have decided to make expanding my family my ultimate priority.

"Thank you to the fans that have supported me along the way this season, especially regarding my difficult IUI turned IVF journey, and the stigma surrounding infertility. All of the kind remarks have genuinely kept me uplifted and have fueled my determination to continue to share my story."
