Tinsley Mortimer’s walk down the hall has been short-lived.
Former “The Real Housewives of New York” star 45 and CouponCabin founder Scott Kluth ended their engagement, People reported Thursday.
Kluth, 40, told the publication in a statement: “After 14 months of engagement, Tinsley and I have ended our relationship and we have been living independently for the past few months. It was an incredibly difficult decision, but I think it’s the best for both of us. I will always be concerned about Tinsley and I sincerely wish him happiness and success in everything he does in the future. “
“While I understand that this news will be of interest to many, I ask for privacy and understanding during this time, as I continue to work to recover emotionally from the end of our relationship,” he concluded.
A source told the publication that Mortimer was “blinded” and “devastated” by the breakup.
Kluth and Mortimer met in “The Real Housewives of New York” after Carole Radziwill introduced them to a blind date. They went out and out until finally Kluth posed the question in November 2019 with an elaborate Christmas themed proposal.
Mortimer left the Bravo series and moved to Chicago to be with Kluth after accepting his proposal. Her initial plans for the wedding were derailed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Fans of “RHONY” will remember that Mortimer had been planning his wedding for quite some time. Her mother, Dabney Mercer, took her to buy a wedding dress while she was on the show, which resulted in a scene of the couple crying over Mortimer’s frozen eggs while Mortimer tried on a dressing gown.
Mortimer was previously married to Topper Mortimer.
