“We just felt the time was right,” he told People. “We’ve kind of been on the fence the last couple years about if we kept pushing through. It was a very tough decision and it’s bittersweet for us.”
“Since season 15 aired, and now that we’re on a pause, Heather and I have had some real quality time with the kids… We’re just at that point in our lives where our family comes first and our kids are growing up so fast. We just have to cherish every moment and take it in,” he added.
Josh noted that the decision was not made based on “relationships on the show,” alluding to tensions with Josh Flagg.
“It has to do with us. We’ve done it. My wife’s been on that show since she was 20 years old. I’ve been on that show since I was almost a new real estate agent. We are different people than when we started the show. We were babies when we started the show. It’s time to kind of close that chapter.”
They also shared a video on Instagram, talking about the decision to leave the show after so many years and ending on a high note.
“What can we say!!! Million Dollar Listing LA has been a hell of a ride. The memories, friendships, experiences, sales, the highs, the lows and the doors it has opened we will forever be thankful for. NO REGRETS. Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey with our family and business for the past 15 years of our lives. What a blessing to be part of such an amazing show that started an entire genre of television. So many people to thank. And especially all of you that have been with us for the ride. WE LOVE YOU!!!! Time to start a new chapter in life and spend more time with the family ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????,” Josh captioned the video, while also thanking producers at World of Wonder, Bravo and NBC, as well as the cast and crew over the years. “We couldn’t have done it without you.”
In the most recent season 15, Josh and Heather, along with his brother Matt, opened a new office in Orange County under the Altman Brothers brokerage.
At the time of this post, it has not been confirmed if there will be a season 16.
