Plus, the RHONY alum shares all the details on her marriage and life today.
Tinsley Mortimer is "forever" grateful for her husband, Robert Bovard, for bringing joy into her life. The Real Housewives of New York City alum has been married to the Georgia businessman for one year, is now living in Augusta, and is finding all of the reasons to smile — especially now that she is a stepmom to his three children.
Even The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Sutton Stracke, who is an Augusta native, can see the joy in Tinsley. Sutton spoke to The Daily Dish in December 2024, where she revealed that she has crossed paths with Tinsley and Robert in Georgia, especially since Tinsley's husband is friends with Sutton's "friends that are older" than her in Georgia.
"I think she is very happy there and I was really happy for her," Sutton admitted of Tinsley. "I saw her with his children. I think she kind of hit the jackpot. He's a good guy and well respected in the community. I mean, she fits right in. I'm happy to hear she's doing well."

Who is Tinsley Mortimer's husband, Robert Bovard?
Robert is the president and owner of Iron and Steel Works Inc., according to Town & Country. He is also the father of three children from his first marriage.
How did Tinsley Mortimer meet husband Robert Bovard?
Tinsley and Robert first met in 2021, according to Town & Country. They were both attending the wedding of Tinsley's cousin, Robert Mercer (who ended up serving as the officiant at their own 2023 wedding in Palm Beach, Florida.)
However, Tinsley and Robert didn't speak to each other until the night after the wedding, when they gathered at a restaurant to watch a baseball game, according to The New York Times.
"It was probably easy for me to talk to her because I didn't expect she'd have any interest in a guy from a small town in Georgia," he admitted to the publication.
But, they did talk and hit it off immediately. After traveling across the United States to go on dates, by August 2022, Tinsley had moved to Augusta to be with Robert, and they got engaged during Christmas that year.
Before her wedding, she took to her Instagram Story, where she posted a series of photos of her, Robert, and the three kids on vacation, where they had so much fun.
