While Netflix’s ‘Selling Sunset’ primarily showcases the glamorous lives of real estate agents in Los Angeles, the personal lives of the cast have become a significant focus of the series. Among the couples that fans have followed closely from the very beginning are Mary Fitzgerald and Romain Bonnet. Watching them reach milestone after milestone has been a rewarding experience for viewers. The eighth season provided even more insights into their relationship, with their evolving dynamics becoming a topic of discussion. In season 9, they faced obstacles, but as long as they had one another, they got through them. Observing them grow as individuals and tackle challenges together has made fans root for the continued strength and longevity of their relationship.
Mary and Romain’s House Was Burgled While They Were Away
Mary and Romain Bonnet are no strangers to drama and speculation surrounding their relationship. When Mary first introduced Romain as her boyfriend, they had met while he was searching for a home in Los Angeles, California. The relationship quickly progressed, leading to their secret marriage on March 9, 2018, followed by a public wedding on October 12, 2019. Romain seamlessly integrated into Mary’s life, even becoming a stepfather to her and Jason Oppenheim’s pet dog, Niko. Initially, she had reservations about starting a family soon after marriage, but her views evolved.
Mary and Romain have remained strong over the years, consistently standing by each other’s side, a dynamic that was also evident in the eighth season. Romain defended Mary when Chelsea confronted her, making it clear that he wouldn’t tolerate anyone speaking to his wife disrespectfully. Mary faced a difficult time when she lost her beloved dog, Niko, and struggled with her emotions. Romain’s support was invaluable as he understood her grief and gave her the space to process it in her own time. Moments like these highlight how deeply connected, and in sync they are with each other.
In season 9, Mary and Romain went through a tough time when their home was burglarized shortly after the LA forest fires. The intruders reportedly waited outside and broke in as soon as the couple left, stealing several valuable items. The incident deeply affected Mary, leaving her feeling unsafe in her own home. She even expressed her desire to move, though Romain first wanted to strengthen their home’s security. With support from their friends, they managed to cope, but the experience proved to be a major challenge for them both.
Mary and Romain Have Been Open About Their Fertility Journey
One of the biggest challenges Mary and Romain Bonnet have faced has been their journey toward starting a family. With a 12-year age difference, Romain initially wanted to wait a few years before having a child, which made Mary apprehensive. However, he eventually came around, and in March 2022, the couple publicly announced their decision to freeze embryos and begin their journey toward parenthood. In March 2023, Mary shared the exciting news with her friends and colleagues that she was preparing to welcome a baby. Unfortunately, their joy turned to heartache when Mary suffered a miscarriage, a deeply distressing experience for the couple.
In April 2024, Mary revealed that she needed to undergo a Myomectomy after an MRI showed some complications. She acknowledged that her fertility journey has been far more challenging than she initially anticipated but shared that she is learning to process and accept the situation. Mary expressed that while it took her time to come to terms with the reality, she is grateful for the opportunity to raise awareness about women’s reproductive health. Romain Bonnet also expressed his eagerness to welcome a child, emphasizing that he is ready but mindful of not putting additional pressure on his wife.
Acknowledging his support, Mary added, “He’s my rock. He is the sweetest, just most amazing partner I could have ever, ever hoped for.” So, it seems like the couple have only made strides in their relationship and have built a safe and secure place for each other. Romain has taken very well to Austin Babbit, Mary’s 28-year-old son from a previous relaitonship and there is a good relationship between them. Austin even came home to have an early birthday celebration with his mother and Romain in March 2025, and it was quite a special moment. Mary has shared that she had Austin when she was just 16, and with only about a four-year age difference between Austin and Romain, their relationship is more like that of friends rather than father and son.
Mary and Romain Are Social Media Stars in Their Own Right
Mary and Romain have established a comfortable and luxurious life in Los Angeles, California. Mary’s successful career as a real estate agent with one of the top agencies, combined with Romain’s work as a model, has certainly afforded them the lifestyle they enjoy. He also works part-time with The Oppenheim Group and is close to the people from Mary’s work.
Both have also cultivated strong social media presences, with Mary boasting 2.2 million Instagram followers and Romain being equally popular among fans. He also works as a Project Manager for White Glove Estates and has more than 450k followers on Instagram. The couple frequently share reels that capture their daily lives, funny moments, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of their relationship. Whether doing glamorous photoshoots, attending red-carpet events, or simply relaxing on their couch at home, their unfiltered moments genuinely connect with their audience.
Mary and Romain Share a Fondness for Travel and More
Mary and Romain know how to have fun in their own way and share a love for travel. In December 2024, they visited Egypt, and in 2025, they’ve already explored Europe and Bali, often making time for casual outings to Universal Studios with friends and family. Traveling helps them unwind and recharge together. The couple has also collaborated on several brand partnerships, including campaigns with Turkish Airlines and IndyCar, and attended the Miami Grand Prix 2025 alongside Jason Oppenheim and his girlfriend, Jessica Vargas. They share their home with their fur baby, Thor, and have learnt to find their peace in the small moments that they share in their marriage.
