RHOC newbie Taylor Armstrong has been married twice

On this week's episode of RHOC, Taylor was hanging out with fellow cast members on their trip to Montana when she came out as bi-sexual. The ladies were surprised at the reveal and after a few jokes, the reality star opened up about the same in a confessional.

"Most people are surprised to find out that I'm bisexual probably just because of stereotypes...I mean it's not something I broadcast, but I'm open to all people who have great souls that you can love," Taylor said.

The RHOC star was previously married to Russell Armstrong. She tied the knot with the venture-capital executive in 2004 and welcomed their daughter Kennedy in 2006.

However, the duo split in July 2011 after Taylor filed for divorce citing physical and verbal abuse, according to a report by PEOPLE.

However, a month later, her estranged husband died by suicide, leading Taylor to a very dark place in her life, which was documented when the reality star appeared on another Housewives franchise, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH). Her marriage troubles with Russell depicted her behavior on the Bravo show.

In an interview with PEOPLE in October 2022, she opened up about the same.

"When I was on Beverly Hills, I had a friend of mine call me [during] season 1 and said, "I don't know who that girl is on that show, but it's not you. Like, I've known you for 20 years, and you seem nothing like yourself." I really was having so much drama at home with my marriage and the abuse in my life that I didn't really get a chance to be mysel," Taylor said.

Shortly after Russell's passing, she formed a connection with attorney and friend John Bluher. The duo wed in April 2014 and her daughter Kennedy, who was eight years old back then, walked her down the aisle. John then adopted her.

In a Q&A with Bravo, Taylor gave an update about her now 17-year-old daughter. She said that Kennedy completed her junior year and will be going to college after passing her senior year.

The RHOC star acknowledged that she and her now-husband John were going to be "empty nesters" soon.
