and Romain Bonnet‘s relationship on Selling Sunset, but they are still going strong! The adorable duo gave Life & Style an exclusive update on their marriage nearly four years after they walked down the aisle, their baby plans and more. Keep reading for more details.
Are Mary and Romain Still Together?
Yes! After tying the knot, Mary Catherine Fitzgerald officially became Mary Catherine Bonnet. She even changed her Instagram handle to reflect her new last name. The couple frequently shares glimpses into their life together, treating fans to behind-the-scenes looks at their vacations, press appearances, and photoshoots.
Despite their busy schedules, Mary revealed to Life & Style in February 2022 that their relationship remains strong. She explained, “The show keeps getting bigger. We get more clients from it. All the different things, collaborations, travel, stuff like that. We didn’t see much of each other before, so we probably see even less of each other. So Maybe why it works.”
To keep their bond intact, the couple tries to plan small getaways every month. "I think we’ve gotten better at communicating,” Mary shared, adding that they have learned to navigate their differences without letting exhaustion and stress affect their relationship.
Are Romain and Mary Planning to Have Kids?
Mary took significant steps toward starting a family by freezing her eggs in 2020. In a conversation with Life & Style in February 2022, she shared that she is prioritizing this aspect of her life as she approaches her 42nd birthday. The couple plans to begin the process of freezing embryos in the near future but anticipates waiting another two years before having children.
Mary expressed, “We have so many great things going on. We have so much we want to take advantage of. We’re both workaholics, and we want to see how far we can go and push ourselves before we slow down.” She reflected on her experiences as a mother, emphasizing her love for traveling and enjoying life before embarking on parenthood.
Mary's Relationship with Her Son
Mary is a mother to her son, Austin Babbitt, born in 1999 when she was just 16. Thankfully, Romain has a good relationship with Austin. He stated, “I love Austin! I really haven’t seen him since the pandemic started, but Mary and I are hoping to go visit him in Scottsdale once we’re able to.”
How Has Filming ‘Selling Sunset’ Affected Mary and Romain’s Relationship?
Mary and Romain have both noted that reality television can be challenging. They previously mentioned that it puts a “magnifying glass on every little thing we do or say.” However, they believe that the experience has ultimately strengthened their relationship, teaching them to support one another and communicate better.
Since gaining fame from the show, the couple has also started flipping houses together, further solidifying their partnership both professionally and personally.
Does Mary Still Have the Moissanite Ring?
Mary's engagement ring stirred controversy during the first two seasons of Selling Sunset, particularly after co-star Davina Potratz mocked the moissanite gem that Romain initially gifted her. However, Romain later purchased her a real diamond ring, which Mary revealed she received a few months after filming ended.
Do Mary and Romain Have Children?
The couple has openly discussed their desire to expand their family, despite some initial hesitance from Mary. She revealed that they had attempted a round of embryo freezing, which unfortunately did not succeed. They are now trying to conceive naturally while navigating the challenges ahead.
Mary expressed her faith in Romain as a future parent, stating, “He is going to be the most amazing dad. I had some reservations going into it, because I did it on my own [last time], but he’s going to be amazing. He’s so loving and responsible and thoughtful, so he’s going to be great with a kid.”
In March 2023, Mary shared the heartbreaking news that she and Romain had suffered a miscarriage after becoming pregnant during their honeymoon in Bali. “We did get pregnant and unfortunately that didn’t work out,” she explained, adding that she had to undergo surgery due to a septic miscarriage.
