Emily Simpson, a cast member of The Real Housewives of Orange County, expressed her certainty that her marriage to Shane Simpson is strong, despite on-camera portrayals. She explained that both she and Shane are authentic on camera, not attempting to hide any imperfections in their relationship.
During the season 20 trailer, fellow housewives questioned the status of Emily and Shane's marriage, but Emily hopes viewers will remember their 17-year history. She highlighted that their relationship is a real marriage with its share of ups and downs, emphasizing their commitment.
The couple, married on Valentine's Day in 2009, are parents to three children and share their home with three dogs and three cats. Emily also shared an update on their son Luke, who was diagnosed with ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder).
Luke is reportedly doing "amazing" at a new school and Emily believes the experience has made her and Shane better parents by teaching them patience and unity. She feels glad to have shared their son's journey, as it connected her with other mothers facing similar challenges.
