AceShowbiz – Tinsley Mortimer is closing a chapter in her life. More than six months after getting engaged to CouponCabin CEO Scott Kluth, the TV personality is leaving the Big Apple to join her fiance in Chicago, and confirmed her departure from “The Real Housewives of New York City” through a farewell post.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all my fans and friends who supported me and are happy for my fairy tale ending,” the 44-year-old socialite informed fans on Thursday, June 11. “Without #RHONY, I would never have met my prince charming, Scott. Being a Housewife was such a fun experience, and I thank @bravoandy and all the wonderful people at Shed Media and @bravotv.”
In the Instagram post, Mortimer offered “a trip down memory lane” by sharing a video of her surprise proposal and a series of photos from her stint on the Bravo series. She concluded the post by declaring, “I love you all so much!!!”, and added a slew of hashtags that include “#chicago”, “#couponking”, “#fairytale” and “#happyending”.
In response to her goodbye post, Mortimer’s co-star Sonja Morgan jokingly sought credit for her part in her happy ending. “And without me you wouldn’t have met,” she commented. “So happy for you girl. You got the fairytale. Moved to NYC to live with a true girlfriend who was there for you with open arms.”
“I got you on #rhony and my co star Introduced you to Scott the man,” Morgan continued as referring to former castmate Carole Radziwill who introduced Mortimer and Kluth in 2017. “May all your dreams come true. I’m always here.” In a separate comment, she added, “Omg the wedding dress. I hope you wear that ONE.”
Sonja Morgan reacted to Tinsley Mortimer’s farewell post.
A number of other “RHONY” stars have also expressed their support in the comment section of Mortimer’s post. Leah McSweeney gushed, “You give me jaded a** hope! Love you Tinz,” while Ramona Singer declared, “So happy for you.” Executive producer Andy Cohen chimed in, “Thank you for your eggs and Dale and all the fun!”
Andy Cohen and fellow ‘RHONY’ stars sent love to Mortimer following her exit.
The Thursday episode of “RHONY” followed Mortimer as she made a decision to move to Chicago. Having told McSweeney about her plan, she revealed to Singer and Luann de Lesseps during dinner that she will be moving to the windy city the next day.
“With Scott, so much has happened so fast,” she admitted. “I know that if I don’t take this moment right now, I will regret it for the rest of my life. I have to listen to myself and what I want and nobody else.” She added, “It’s been a great ride and I’m just so happy for where I am right now and for my future.”
