And as Mary and Romain navigate their future, they know they can count on the love and support of Austin—the 27-year-old she had with an ex-boyfriend when she was 15—and their beloved dogs.
“We have our fur baby though, Thor. Romaine is obsessed with him,” added the real estate agent, who said goodbye to dog Niko on the most recent season of Selling Sunset and also shares dog Zelda with ex Jason Oppenheim. “So if it doesn’t happen, he says he’s OK. He’s got his little fur baby, and he is just beyond obsessed. We’ll be OK. What’s meant to be will be.”
As Mary pens in her book, she decided to do embryo freezing in between filming seasons five and six of Selling Sunset in 2022.
“We started with 15 eggs, which is a lot, and 10 of them were the right size,” she wrote in Selling Sunshine. “Seven of those 10 were mature enough to be fertilized, and three of those seven made it through fertilization. Those three were then sent to the genetics lab to be tested and analyzed. Unfortunately, a few days later, in a very disappointing turn of events, we found out that the three eggs that had survived most of the process were abnormal. The doctor informed us that I’d need to give my body a few months to recover, and then, if we wanted, we could go through it all again.”
