Before getting engaged in 2021, Martin and Lopez had been together for more than seven years — and welcomed their first child together. After her longtime love popped the question, the Bravo star told PEOPLE that she didn’t always think marriage was for her.

“I’ve never been against the idea of ​​marriage, I just think a lot of people put too much pressure on the concept of marriage and use it as a means of creating security and happiness. Those things don’t come from marriage, they come from inside you,” she said.

The mother-to-be added: “In my personal experience, marriage didn’t mean living happily ever after. So instead of focusing on getting married again, I focused my time and energy on what really matters – being happy and creating a life that I love. That has really been a priority for me the past few years — Anthony and I have a great relationship, we wanted a family and we have an amazing son who we adore, we’re established in our careers, we’ve remodeled our dream house, we’ve traveled and made amazing memories. prioritized marriage because we were busy enjoying our lives.”
