Socialite turned reality television star Tinsley Mortimer is best known to some as a member of the Real Housewives of New York City, but to others, she's still a 2000s It Girl. Although the star moved to Chicago in 2019, she re-settled in Palm Beach, Fla., in 2021, following her split from her fiancé Scott.
Now, Tinsley is living in quieter life in a southern state with her husband and his three kids.
If you're like many RHONY fans who are wondering what happened to Tinsley Mortimer, we've got some answers.
Where is Tinsley Mortimer now?
After moving several times, Tinsley has settled in Augusta, Ga.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Sutton Stracke announced the news on Instagram, snapping a photo of them together and writing, "Guess who I found living in my hometown?" on Nov. 28, 2022. The caption added, "@tinsleymortimer is the perfect match for Augusta! Can't wait to see more of her on my visits home."
Although Tinsley went quiet on social media around September 2022, leading many to wonder why she disappeared from the public eye, she returned in 2023 with some big news! In November 2023, Tinsley tied the knot with Robert Bovard at a private club in Palm Beach, Town & Country Magazine announced in an Instagram post.
“I feel so blessed and honored to have found this kind, handsome man with three precious children to love,” Tinsley told Town & Country Magazine, She added, “My wedding day was truly perfect in every way.”
Who is Tinsley Mortimer's husband?
Tinsley’s husband, Robert, is the president of Augusta Iron & Steel Works, Inc., according to his LinkedIn bio. He joined the company in July 2011, working as a sales representative. He quickly climbed in rank, later becoming the executive vice president. By January 2017, he was named president of the company.
Robert attended Sewanee: The University of the South from 2001-2005, where he graduated with his Bachelor of Arts in political science and government. Between 2009 and 2011, he attended UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School, where he earned his Master of Business Administration.
It appears Tinsley and Robert started dating sometime in 2019, per a report by People. At the time, the media outlet noted that Tinsley was dating someone with children, but she didn't reveal the identity of her mystery beau. She did say, "I always, you know, just thought of myself as a younger person. And then all the sudden I’m older and men have children and things are happening."
Tinsley added, "I’m like, ‘Wow!’ I can maybe be with somebody that has a life other than my own, and a whole world with kids." It seems as though Tinsley was ready to settle down and start a new chapter in her life: as a wife and stepmom.
Will Tinsley Mortimer return to reality TV?
In November 2022, Page Six reported that Bravo was trying to court Tinsley back onto TV screens for their new "Legacy" series, which would follow fan-favorite socialites from each Real Housewives franchise.
A source reported that initially, the RHONY star objected, not wanting to revisit reality TV after spending four seasons on the show, but the tide turned. The source said, "Tinsley is happy right now leading a private life, but when the right opportunity comes to be back on TV, it will be considered." In short — never say never.
Fans are hopeful that Tinsley will make a return to TV screens soon. In the meantime, it appears she's happy and healthy living a more private life in Georgia.
