A well-known personality from a popular family reality series has shared a significant personal update, revealing she is in a committed relationship for the first time in over a decade and a half.
During a recent social media session, the star confirmed she has been seeing someone for more than a year. “The answer is finally yes,” she stated, describing herself as “super, super happy.” She chose not to disclose her partner’s identity but mentioned he is someone she has known for a long time and prefers to maintain a private life away from the public spotlight. “You might catch a glimpse of him occasionally,” she added.
In follow-up comments, she expressed profound relief at this new phase in her life, writing that it is wonderful to feel happiness instead of loneliness.
This news arrives as she has also been speaking candidly about her high-profile divorce, which was finalized 16 years ago. She reflected on that difficult period, emphasizing that her primary focus was protecting her children from conflict.
“I made decisions based on how I would want to be treated,” she explained in a previous broadcast. “I didn’t buy into the drama and the hate. I had kids involved, so I wanted it to be as peaceful for them as I possibly could.”
While stating she hired an attorney who would not “stir up trouble,” she acknowledged that the process was ultimately hardest on the children, with some uncontrollable factors leading to negative outcomes. “I did my best,” she said. “We just got through it to the best of our ability.” She believes the situation could have been calmer and more amicable had all parties been willing to cooperate.
The star and her former husband rose to fame on a television show that documented their lives raising their large family. The series aired for several years, continuing under a modified title following their separation before concluding its run.
