Giuliana Rancic and Bill Rancic had been thinking about bringing back their eponymous reality show in some form for a while. But they didn’t know what format would make sense in today’s entertainment landscape. That changed when Giuliana scheduled her first ever colonoscopy. As she struggled to finish the infamous preparation, she compulsively investigated whether she absolutely had to end it all. “The next afternoon, I was talking to Bill like, ‘You know what would be a fun podcast? Like us, just answering these questions about things that everybody’s always Googling,'” she shared People in May 2026.
So that’s how the Rancics put together “Bill and Giuliana: The Podcast” on iHeart. “We want to answer the questions that people need the answers to,” Giuliana said. The project draws inspiration from their popular reality show. Broadcast between 2009 and 2014, the pair navigated Giuliana’s Tragic Journey with breast cancer, their infertility struggles and other challenges many couples face, while offering insight and knowledge. “We tackled a lot of really important issues,” she told People.
Given the nature of the social media influencer world, Giuliana and Bill want to share valuable information about the latest health trends – and have fun while you’re at it. “I get all my health information on Instagram scrolls,” Bill joked in a promo video. Giuliana replied, “It’s a problem.” To tackle these modern issues, the pair interview experts in a range of fields to answer often polarizing questions. In the comments section of the promo, fans even gave them some ideas. “Like I need chin lypo (sic)?? the dynamic duo never disappoints!!!!” a net user laughed. Sounds like fans were ready for Giuliana and Bill’s comeback.
Giuliana and Bill Rancic took a step back to raise their son
Although their reality show was going strong, Giuliana Rancic and Bill Rancic chose to end its program in 2014. Before Giuliana and Bill’s son Duke was about to turn 2, and the prospect of having him grow up in front of the cameras didn’t appeal to them. “Some things have to be private. And Bill and I are very open. We share a lot, but this is our son. So until he says something, we just want to protect him,” Giuliana shared HuffPost in 2016.
They continued to make career decisions based on their family goals from then on. Giuliana left the E! News for good in 2019, citing her desire to have more time to focus on her son and husband. “The decision for E! News was one that really came from wanting to be more with family and focus and spend as much time as possible with family,” she shared People. With the added flexibility, she hoped to dedicate time to her and Bill’s other ventures, such as the RPM restaurants and other businesses, on her own schedule.
When Duke became a teenager, Giuliana and Bill decided they felt ready to return to the limelight. They were thrilled to get back to sharing the details of their relationship now that they are in their 20s. “We’re really best friends,” Giuliana said in the People interview in 2026. “And we want this to be something you can listen to with your spouse.”
