My marriage is definitely first.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cTardy for the Party\u201d singer claimed at the time that other Housewives when through divorces because of the \u201chype of TV and the publicity\u201d that comes with being in the spotlight.

For real.\u201d<\/p>\n The auction was later canceled by the law office<\/a> of Brock & Scott, PLLC.

They have kids, and that was just a couple that seemed very much in love,\u201d he said on SiriusXM\u2019s Andy Cohen Live in May 2023. \u201cI was very surprised. That was not the news I ever expected to get. They were a couple that I thought they were in it for the long haul. [I was] very surprised [and I am] sorry to hear that.\u201d<\/p>\n
