Selling Sunset star Mary Bonnet shared that a full-body scan led to shocking revelations — including the surprising reason she struggled with miscarriages for so long.
The reality star, 44, also had a ruptured breast implant – and she had no idea.
“I was pretty tired, but as far as looks, you couldn’t tell at all,” shared Bonnet s Women’s health.
But as Bonnet told Taylor Lautner and his wife, Tay Lautner, on the Sept. 18 episode of their podcast, Grip, the scan also revealed a rare condition she had had since birth.
“I discovered I had a septum in the middle of my uterus,” said Bonnet, who gave birth to her son Austin when she was 16, adding that her doctor told her she had it her whole life.
“So it turns out my son is a miracle because if I don’t get it surgically removed, I can’t carry a baby,” she said.

The Cleveland Clinic explains, “A septate uterus is when your uterus is divided in two by a membrane called a septum. It is a condition present at birth that can only be corrected by surgery. A septal uterus can cause pregnancy complications and miscarriage.”
The luxury real estate agent explained that she had one successful pregnancy “probably because I was so young, I somehow managed it and didn’t have a problem pregnancy.”
But, she said, “I had no idea. Through all the treatments I did: I did in vitro, I did all these things. Nobody thought to say. They just took the money and didn’t even tell me that I have a septum that will prevent me from actually performing the full term.”
