Now that we know Tinsley Mortimer is engaged get to know her fiancé Robert Bovard and find out the couple’s wedding plans. Plus, so much more!
Page Six confirms that Real Housewives of New York alum Tinsley Mortimer is engaged to Robert Bovard. The outlet also reveals that Tinsley and Robert will be tying the knot on November 11 in Palm Beach, Flordia.
Tinsley Mortimer is best known for being an early 2000s New York socialite who quickly became a fashion “it girl” like Paris Hilton and Olivia Palermo.
She starred on her own reality TV show, “High Society,” in 2010 before joining the cast of the Real Housewives of New York in 2017 during season 9.
Since leaving RHONY ahead of season 12 in 2019, Tinsley has kept a low profile by living in the south. She reportedly even declined an offer to return to Bravo because she prefers a life out of the spotlight.
Much of Tinsley’s life is now very private, including her relationship with Bovard. What we do know is that Bovard proposed with an emerald engagement ring. It’s unclear how long Tinsley and Board have been dating, but Best of Bravo reports that she has known about Tinsley’s relationship for almost a year and a half.
A source told Page Six, “She’s happy and enjoying the quiet life.”
However, the source declined to give any further details about Tinsley and Bovard’s relationship out of respect for their privacy.
So, who is Robert Bovard?
He is 40 years old and lives in Augusta, Georgia. Bovard is the President of Augusta Iron & Steel Works, Inc., where he’s worked for the past 12 years. He is a father of three and is reportedly a widower.
Over the weekend, Tinsley posted a photo of herself, Bovard, and his three children on her Instagram Stories with the caption: “Family vacation before the big day!”
Tinsley’s happily ever after comes nearly two years after her former fiance, Scott Kluth, ended their engagement in March 2021. Scott and Tinsley met in February 2017 when Tinsley RHONY co-star Carole Radziwill set them up on a blind date. They dated on and off for two years before getting engaged in November 2019 after Tinsley left New York to move to Scott’s home base in Chicago.
The socialite was previously married to Topper Mortimer, who was her childhood sweetheart. The two eloped at 18 but were forced to annul their marriage. They re-married in 2002 before calling it quits in 2009.
Part one of the Season 14 Real Housewives of New York reunion airs Sunday, Oct. 22, at 9 p.m. ET. Part two airs the following Sunday, Oct. 29.
