During her time on “RHONY,” fans watched Kristen Taekman juggle her young kids, her modeling career, and her marriage to Josh Taekman. After Season 7, the news came out that Josh was on Ashley Madison. Although he initially denied it, he eventually fessed up and told Us Weekly, “I signed up for the site foolishly and ignorantly with a group of friends and I deeply apologize for any embarrassment or pain I have brought to my wife and family. We both look forward to moving past this and getting on with our lives.” Kristen shared that the incident made them stronger and stated, “I know my truth, and our truth, and our relationship. I just feel like I’m not on a reality TV show anymore, and I don’t have to explain it to anybody,” per Entertainment Tonight.
In 2020, Kristen and her family decided to trade in the Big Apple for the Golden State. “We come out to L.A. every summer, for at least a month, six weeks, and this summer, we were like, you know what? Let’s just stay. If we’re gonna homeschool indefinitely I’d rather homeschool with good weather,” she shared on “Realitea with Derek Z.” Along with raising her kids, Kristen is staying busy modeling and running her beauty brand, Pop of Color, as well as her lifestyle blog, Last Night’s Look. Although she has said in the past that she’s over reality television, it looks like we’re seeing Kristen back one more time.
