NEED TO KNOW
Mary Bonnet ensured she was financially protected before she and Romain Bonnet tied the knot.
The Selling Sunset star appeared on Jason Tartick’s Trading Secrets podcast on Monday, Nov. 17, and opened up about her career in real estate, reality TV and the influencer world. During the episode, Tartick, 37, asked the Netflix star about whether or not she and her husband, Romain, signed a prenup.
The couple married in October 2019, but before she walked down the aisle, Bonnet revealed that the couple signed an “iron-clad” prenup. Mary, 45, explained to Tartick that in her previous marriage, she had to file for bankruptcy, because her ex-husband “ran up a bunch of credit” in her name and “took everything.”

The reality star acknowledged that since she and Romain tied the knot and the show began airing in March 2019, their “situation has changed quite a lot.”
“We have additional things to [our prenup],” she said, noting that when they purchased their Los Angeles home, it was added to the agreement. The real estate agent explained that everything they have since added as postnuptial amendments have been “very fair.”
She candidly said that she makes more money than Roman, and he “is fine with that, he doesn’t care.”
“He contributes,” she said before rejecting public critiques and claims that he’s “a gold digger.”
“He contributes and always wants to,” she said. “He’s a very stubborn man.”

She added that she has faith in both her prenup and Romain, explaining she doesn’t think he would “ever try and take [her] money.”
“Basically, it states that any money that I put into the house comes back to me first if we sell it,” she said of their home, which she also noted she provided the down payment for. “Then he gets an amount that we both decided was fair when we were in love and a good place.”
“Separations and divorces can get brutal, and people turn into people that they weren’t before fighting for money,” she said. “You want to do what’s fair when you’re in love, when you have the wits about you, to not just try to destroy the person’s life.”
“I’m not gonna try and take anything of his,” she continued. “What you walk into the relationship with, you take out.”
Mary also shared that they still have separate bank accounts.
Due to her previous relationship, she was “burned” before and wanted to keep their bank accounts separate. She told Tartick that Romain has “no problem” keeping separate accounts. “He’s cool with it. I’m good with it. We know what it is. There’s no question marks and no gray areas… especially with the money and finances.”
