Wow, she’s 48?! I’m 45 and I thought she was significantly younger than me. She acts like a 25 year old LOL.

His wife only died in summer 2021. It's now fall 2023 and they're getting married? How long did he wait after his wife passed before he started dating? 6 months if that? And based on timing I'm guessing Tinsley is the first person he dated, and now they're getting married? And there's 3 kids involved that lost their mom? This doesn't seem like it's necessarily a recipe for success. Which is too bad, because I really was happy for Tinsley, and obviously these kids have lost enough already.

My mom's mother died of cancer when she was six. By the time she was eight my grandpa had married a new woman. They stayed happily married until his second wife (my grandma) died suddenly.

I don't think anyone is saying it can't work out, but it often doesn't when it's this fast. Not to mention, I don't know what your mother's experience was, but the children in my life whose parents remarried quickly after the death of the other parent were not happy about it/resented the stepparent and the existing parent for "replacing them" so quickly and went on to have a host of issues related to it.

What’s the new guys name

I definitely just fell into this rabbit hole.

If you are Southern, you'll understand these two. Both are that crusty upper of Southern, Episcopalian, three or four generations deep and with the cool names to prove it. Though I'm surprised by the 8-year age difference.

Tinsley seems to me like a slightly more fashionable, media-hungry version of the rich, blond Southern mom/wife that exists in abundance in Atlanta, Charlotte, Richmond, etc. Husbands are always brunette, in some kind of family business, and ignore them.

They are both chasing the marriages they were hoping to get with Mr. Mortimer and #1 Mrs. Bovard.

This seems like an attempt at round two, with three convenient blond children wrapped up in the package that Tinsely didn't have to wreck her body to create. Easy peasy.

We don’t know if she died suddenly or if she was sick. If the latter, oftentimes one has already grieved the person.

She died of a brain tumor in June 2021. She & Robert lived in DC for a bit post-college.

I grew up with her and have always liked her. Her mother is bonkers, always has been. She and Topper ran off and got married when he was still in high school (he was one grade below her). She went off to Chapel Hill, he went back to Lawrenceville as a married couple. When his parents found out they insisted on a quickly divorce.

She’s a nice person whose mother convinced her to get a nose and chin job at 14. The pressure she put on her and her sister was awful.

Thanks for the context. I always got the vibe that deep down she was a good, albeit very sensitive, person. She has big feelings, but who wouldn’t with that mother?

I’m honestly surprised she has not yet cut off the relationship with her mother. It seems like nearly 50 years of toxicity.,

I wonder if she misses Topper

I saw that on Instagram. Happy for her! Hope I get a happy ending too.

Did some more digging and it sounds like he’s a widower. She will be a sweet stepmom.

I always liked her on RHONY. She was kinder than all of them. And Scott really really treated her terribly/strung her along. This guy is more handsome. And it looks like she’s getting stepkids. Happy for her
