Selling the City‘s Taylor Middleton admitted on screen that she wasn’t sure she would remain married to husband Peter Scavo — but are they still together now?
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Taylor confirmed that her and Peter were still together and attempting to expand their family after weathering numerous relationship issues — including fertility struggles — on screen.
“It’s a lengthy process. It’s quite complicated and it is a journey. We’re still moving forward on the process,” Taylor noted. “There are just a few surgeries and procedures that need to happen before [IVF], so I would love to be able to speed it up. But I’m with the most amazing doctors and we’re so lucky to have the best resources here in the city.”
Taylor admitted it was “at times tough to watch” her scenes with Peter, which included the couple discussing the possibility of having children.
Who says true love doesn’t exist on reality TV? While it seems to be a trend that many marriages on reality TV end in divorce, there are still some reality TV couples out there beating the odds. Big Brother‘s Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo met while filming season 18 of Big Brother in 2016. The timing […]
“[But] being so vulnerable and candid, I don’t know how to be any way other than myself,” she added. “And at the end of the day, you’re seeing a moment. But relationships and marriage [are] life. It mimics life. You have good days and you have bad days.”
Despite showing the more tumultuous sides to her marriage, Taylor says she has remained committed to Peter, adding, “It’s about finding someone that you’re really wanting to go into the trenches with. I’m really lucky to have that in my marriage — but also in a boss and my teammates.”
Selling the City, which premiered on Friday, January 3, introduced Us to the latest reality show from Selling Sunset creator Adam DiVello. The series follows Eleonora Srugo’s real estate group at Douglas Elliman, which consists of Taylor, Jade Chan, Abigail Godfrey, Jordyn Taylor Braff, Gisselle Meneses Nunez and Justin Tuinstra. Former Million Dollar Listing New York‘s Steve Gold, who currently works for The Corcoran Group, also makes various appearances throughout the season.
When she was not focused on selling high-end real estate, Taylor found herself struggling in her marriage to Peter.
“Everything is coming at once, which is good. It’s a blessing and I’m very grateful for it. But trying to manage it all is a lot. And then not being able to have great one-on-one time with your partner, it can take a toll,” Taylor told Eleonora on the show. “There’s a lot of stress in real estate and I’m on my phone a lot. I know that really bothers him and I get it because I would feel the exact same way.”
Taylor noted that her commitment to her work caused her husband “to take the back seat,” saying, “You can have it all but not all at one time … We have been together for a decade now but throughout those 10 years so much has changed. Relationships are really f—king hard. And I’m sober and in recovery and that wasn’t a part of my life when we got together and now it is.”
Eleonora then asked Taylor how many years of her decade-long marriage were “really” good. “I don’t know how to quantify it,” Taylor replied. “Four were really good and six have been really hard.”
Later in the season, Selling the City offered Us a front row seat to Taylor and Peter’s awkward date that ended with both of them on their phones instead of paying attention to each other. In another scene, Taylor attempted to bring up a conversation about exploring IVF again.
“It is expensive and time-consuming. I am also the breadwinner in the family,” she told the cameras. “The last time that we went through this process, it didn’t work out.”
While Taylor seemed committed to having children with Peter, he argued that she would lose her “professional momentum” if she decided to become a mom. He told Taylor on screen that he couldn’t process how she would be able to balance her career and demands that come with parenthood. (Elsewhere in the show, Eleonora confronted Taylor after finding out she went above her head for a loan due to money issues.)
“It’s a very weighted thing to try to process when I know [having children] doesn’t fix the marriage at all. I am not naive to that,” Taylor said in a confessional. “I have heard that kids with marriage, it brings out the best in your marriage and the absolute worst. I am processing all of it.”
An offscreen producer subsequently asked Taylor if she saw “a world where” she would “stay together” with Peter, to which she replied, “I don’t know.”
Selling the City is streaming on Netflix.
