Zero percent chance they end up together. It wasn’t love, at least not in the way that we typically use that word. As others have noted — she very much plays up her “Italian Jersey Girl” thing and I am sure she is wild and open-minded in the bedroom at least with him because of the forbidden fruit element — but probably not her husband.
He was probably bored in his own marriage coupled with his wife having her own serious health issues that likely killed her libido. So he gets some wild side action.
Neither of them though really wanted to blow up their lives given that they are public personalities and doing so may result in a PR hit. So they had this steamy relationship on the down low and nobody was the wiser … until they got very careless in Arizona.
Now it’s blowing up all over but he is doing all the stuff you do in damage control here — make an apology (sort of), go off to counseling, etc. But there is no chance at all that he is leaving his wife for her, not now.
These kinds of relationships are complicated because there probably were some genuine feelings. But it was mixed in with a lot of crazy, forbidden fruit type sex very likely and the line between actual love and a super charged attraction can become very blurred in that situation.
I was in a similar situation once for a much shorter period of time. I thought it was love, but it most definitely was not, with the benefit of being in a true love relationship now.
