Selling Sunsetstar Mary Bonnet recently discovered some shocking news about her reproductive system, after a breast implant ruptured and she needed medical care. She and her Frenchman husband,Romain Bonnet, who is much younger than her,have wanted a baby for a long time. Sadly, Mary had a miscarriage in November 2023, seemingly due to a uterine infection. Onscreen, she grieved, cycling between"crying and feeling numb."
Mary does have a child, Austin Babbitt, who’s all grown up (he’s 27).She was a teen mom who got pregnant at the age of 15, and she felt judged by society. Austin’s biological dad didn’t step up, and Mary ended up being a single mom. That’s so much pressure on a teenage girl. Life’s ups and downs never made Mary bitter - in fact, she’s the most kindhearted Oppenheim Group realtor of the bunch. Hopefully,Mary, who got engaged to Romainin season 1, and later married him, will make her baby dreams come true.
Mary’s A Leo Woman Who Wants Another Lion Cub
Mary Was Born On August 15, 2025
Mary showcases “big cat” Leo energy on the glitzy Netflix series. She’s into being filmed (Leos love attention), but she doesn’t enjoy conflict. Obviously, this sets her apart from some of her costars, includingthe bombastic diva Chelsea Lazkani,and troublemaker Nicole Young. Usually, arguments make the peacemaker Mary cry. Happy with her hubby, Mary wants to expand her family with her 29-year-old partner, and recent answers about her infertility issues may make that possible.
20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
Mary’s been through the wringer while trying to have a baby with Romain. Infertility problems can be so emotionally devastating. Hopeful couples have to stay strong when they try strategies such as IVF. Each time a strategy fails, they must feel heartbreak.Mary and Romain did try IVFafter trying to conceive naturally, but that’s not all. As perUS Magazine, in the past, Mary, now 44 years old, said:
I have had an MRI scan, a full body scan and I have to have a surgery on my uterus.”
After such an ordeal, including an operation to repair a septate uterus, which was divided in two when it shouldn’t be, Mary probably felt disheartened.She found out about the uterine problem while seeking help for her ruptured breast implant.The doctor found something that other physicians had missed. According toYahoo, she opened up about her health challenges in her book,Selling Sunshine.
Mary is right to tell the world about what she’s gone through. She’s showing depth that is sometimes lacking on the show. She’s givingSelling Sunseta heart.
Now that Mary has had surgery, it may be possible for her to conceive a baby with Romain. Of course, her age may be an issue, but some women in their forties do conceive and give birth to healthy babies. It’s now possible for Mary to conceive, based on what she’s said lately.
It just remains to be seen how things will play out. Hopefully, she and Romain will be lucky.
For sure, they’d be caring and mature parents to a new arrival. While Romain gave off strong gold digger vibes during earlier seasons of the show, he seems to have hidden depths. In fact, he seems like a wonderful husband.
Romain’s a hard worker and he seems to have a lot of passion for his business. He doesn’t sit around while Mary sells real estate. He is a breadwinner too. Also, he fiercely defends his wife whenever she’s attacked by castmates, even if it stirs up drama. That kind of protectiveness is such a good sign. Maybe Romain really does see the inner beauty in his gorgeous wife. If he truly loves her, and he seems to, he’s a wise man. She’s someone that he can count on through thick and thin.
Mary Has Been Through So Much
She Handles Life’s Challenges With Grace
Mary handled single motherhood. She dealt with shade because she oncedated her boss, Jason Oppenheim. Today, they’re friends, genuinely over their relationship, but still close. Because Mary’s a peaceful being, she can move on and doesn’t hold grudges. That’s why she had trouble getting along with more vindictive castmates, such as notorious villain Christine Quinn, who basically exited the show in a puff of smoke. Above, at Instagram,Marysays she’s not"staying silent"anymore.
Mary admittedly lacksChristine’s icy Cruella de Vil charm, but she’s wonderfully warm. She brings a different energy to the series, which is almost maternal. Mary has been a mother for a very long time. She’s weathered so many storms. From a place of maturity, she reigns as the show’s stealth queen. She’s a woman with experience who has really lived. She’s not a young woman, but she has attributes that are special. She will always stand out and her beauty is timeless.
In theSelling Sunsetmix, Christine helps other castmates to work together. She tries her best to put up with their quirks. She has a lot of patience. However, now and then, the things that they do seem to perplex her, mostly because she’s not mean-spirited. It’s amazing that Mary remains such a graceful and emotional woman despite health issues, single parenthood and more. As she embarks on life post-surgery, Mary may bloom. If she gets pregnant, it will probably feel like a miracle.
Selling Sunsetis mostly about money, but sometimes, the cast members take viewers deeper into human experience, showing them real emotions that are poignant. It’s great that Mary’s opening up about her inner world and her life today. She’s a good role model and her frankness about a grueling infertility journey that has been so painful is inspiring. By writing about her truth, Mary makes it easier for other women to relate to her. She’s a real woman who is honest. A lot of women have lived through the same things.
While Mary isn’t the biggest diva in the bunch, she’s an amazing realtor that Jason trusts. They mourned the loss of their dog Niko together. She’s got a great life. Hopefully, she will have a baby with Romain. However, even if she doesn’t, she’ll find ways to be happy. TheSelling Sunsetstar is almost always smiling, and focusing in the sunshine rather than the shadows.
