The exes tried to make their relationship work through therapy and by renewing their vows, but they ultimately split. “After much thought and careful consideration, David and I have made the difficult decision to separate,” the Real Housewives of Orange County star told Bravo TV at the time. “We remain partners in parenthood and are committed to raising our three daughters. This is not the future we envisioned, and we kindly ask for privacy, especially for our children, during this transitional period.”
