Morgan Stewart revealed that her marriage was ending via an Instagram Story in August 2019. “Brendan [Fitzpatrick] and I have spent six wonderful years together, but we have made the difficult decision to go our separate ways,” the E! News Nightly Pop host announced (via People.) She said their “reason for separating has nothing to do with anything other than two people who sadly grew apart, deciding what’s best for themselves in the next phase of their lives.”
Earlier in 2019, Stewart was accused of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a married E! executive named Bryce Kristensen. According to Page Six, sources claimed the network investigated, but Kristensen and Stewart denied the rumors.
Stewart and Fitzpatrick’s romance had played out in the public eye. They rose to fame on Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, and he proposed on the show in 2015. In January 2020, Stewart grew emotional while talking about their breakup. “Love and marriage are two different things,” she said on an episode of the E! News Daily Pop. “You love somebody, you marry them, but marriage is an act of work every single day. Some people just don’t have what it takes to do that with the person they married.”
She indicated that filing for divorce was about the long game, noting they were “not functioning as two people that are going to be able to bring children into the world, be together at 45, we just don’t have that…”
