BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Nia Renée Hill, one of Crystal Kung Minkoff's partygoers, asked Sutton Stracke what transpired at Magic Mike. Nia is married to comedian Bill Barr, is a helicopter pilot, and recently gave Donald Trump the double bird in Las Vegas.

Fans of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' are wondering why Bravo is playing around with this Annemarie Wiley persona when there is a Nia right here waiting for a deal.

On X, fans wrote, "I like this girl Nia not only because she’s black but she’s also funny and looks outspoken." While another quipped, "Look like Nia is being a housewife that Annemarie supposed to be." 

Others wrote, "Bill Burr's wife, Nia, is stunning!!!" A fourth person commented, "get rid of annamarie and bring on nia and avi."

One user also felt, "nia needs to stay!" Another user chimed in, "We could’ve had Nia! But they gave us Annamarie." 

Who is 'RHOBH' newbie Nia Renée Hill married to?

Much of Bill Burr's comedy is based on his life with his wife, Nia. The comedian and actress have two children and have been married since 2013.

Bill has lauded Nia in several interviews and has mentioned their marriage during his stand-up routines over the years. Nia has also been on Burr's Monday Morning Podcast on occasion.

The couple marke a decade of marriage in October 2023.

Nia served as a talent coordinator for the first season of 'Chappelle's Show,' which aired in 2003. Bill debuted on the show in 2004, but she didn't meet him until a year later, when he appeared as a guest on 'Tough Crowd With Colin Quin,' as Nia subsequently revealed on X in 2019.

They dated for almost a decade before marrying in September 2013. Nia's life had been filled with comedy until she met Bill.

Nia, like Bill, is a native of Massachusetts. She was born in Boston in 1978 and raised in Atlanta before returning to the city to attend Emerson College.

Bill, who was born in 1968, grew up in the Boston suburb of Canton and attended Emerson College a decade before his future wife, graduating with a bachelor's degree in radio in 1993.

Nia earned a bachelor's degree in media arts in 2000.

Ben Hill, her father, was a comedy manager.

Nia and Bill had their first child, Lola, in January 2017. Their boy was born in June 2020, and the couple has not shared his name publicly.

Bill has endured public outrage and scrutiny for his comedy throughout his career. His opening monologue on 'Saturday Night Live' in 2020 drew controversy and divided reactions when he made multiple jokes about cancel culture, White women, and Pride Month.

Nia, on the other hand, has always stood by her husband. Nia has congratulated Bill on his new ventures on X and has attended his film and television program premieres with him.

The pair attended the Season 3 premiere of Disney's 'The Mandalorian' in February 2023, in which Bill plays Migs Mayfeld. Nia subsequently posted an Instagram snapshot from the night on March 2.

What does 'RHOBH' newbie Nia Renée Hill do for a living?

Bill isn't the only one in the family who enjoys performing. Nia is also an actress, having appeared in Netflix's 'Santa Clarita Diet' and HBO's 'Crashing'.

She also played Georgia and Nia Roosevelt in the animated comedy 'F Is For Family,' which Bill starred in and developed. Nia is a writer and the founder of the production firm Tenderheaded Films, in addition to her performing career.

Nia has been on her husband's podcast on occasion, even ridiculing him. On one occasion, Bill said how he's finally "making some money," to which Nia joked, "It's not like you're walking around dripping in diamonds and Rolex watches and stuff and driving a Porsche and read 'I have money.'"

"You're walking in there with one of 50 Boston-related T-shirts that you have with your socks pulled up and your old man shorts on," she said. "You look like the f------ Little League coach! You're not exactly screaming 'sexy money guy.'"

Nia has also made her mark in comedy, co-creating the online series 'You Welcome!' with comic Marcella Arguello. Chelsea Peretti and Michelle Buteau are among her amusing pals.
