Any Selling Sunset fan knows a large part of the drama on the show came from real estate agent Mary Fitzgerald and her boyfriend Romain Bonnet as they dealt with conflict in their relationship before ultimately getting engaged and later married.
Fans were introduced to the couple as boyfriend and girlfriend, and followed their journey to the altar over the first two seasons of the show.
Turns out, however, that was all fake. Mary and Romain were actually secretly married months before the show even began filming.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Mary and Romain secretly tied the knot at a courthouse back in March 2018, a few months before the first season was shot and 19 months before their televised wedding was held in October 2019.
“Mary and Romain had a civil union a couple of months before the show began filming in June of 2018, but they chose not to tell any of their friends or family, as they were still trying to see if their relationship would work out in the long term,” A rep for the couple told Entertainment Tonight. “In their minds, they weren’t properly married until the wedding that was filmed during the show.”
