Working so closely could give the two of them “another element” to argue about, but Meredith insisted their arguments were minor.
“We haven’t had that many fights about it, but sometimes it’s like, ‘Well, you said you were going to deal with this,'” she explained. “It’s an irritation. Nothing important.”
Meredith and Seth have been through many ups and downs in their relationship since tying the knot in 1996. The couple – who have children Reid, Chloe and Brooks – briefly split during of RHOSLC season one, which the reality star then explained had to do with their drifting apart over time.
“Over the years, it just broke,” she said in the 2020 episode. “We moved a lot. We were kind of uprooted — I was trying to start my company, he was running his business, we had three kids. There was just no communication and the animosity built and built and built, and we just became so totally overwhelmed that we were just completely shut out.”
The couple sought out a couples counselor who helped them realize that their marriage was worth saving. After coming out of therapy, Meredith said she and Seth felt “very strong, very united” and reinforced positive feelings about a future together.
