Lizzie Rovsek is opening up about her ongoing divorce and shares an update on her relationship with estranged husband Christian Rovsek. The former Real Housewives of Orange County star explains that she and her ex still haven’t legally dissolved their marriage, despite filing for divorce more than two years ago.
“Everything is pretty much finalized besides, we kind of have a family business so that… hasn’t been sorted out, the details of that,” said Lizzie during Thursday’s episode of Jeff Lewis Live, according to PEOPLE.
While her divorce is not finalized, Lizzie shuts down claims that her divorce was contentious.
“It’s not ugly at all. We’re really good friends,” said Lizzie. “We co-parent. We started dating when we were 22. We’re very close, we’re family still. We have our little boys who are the most important thing. He lives 3 minutes down the road, I can walk there. It’s very friendly.”
The former Bravo reality star went on to clarify that the stipulations in the deal they signed, including that the former couple will not introduce a romantic partner to the kids without the other meeting the individual, were standard and not signs of any tension.
“That was an already printed out form that the attorney had, and we basically went over it and signed it,” explained Lizzie. “We mediated and the attorney even said, ‘We put these things here, just to protect you guys but if you guys can do your own things, make up your own rules ow ways you want to do it, that’s totally fine. It’s like a guideline. It was already there. We didn’t say, ‘It has to be this way, this way, this way.’ ”
Lizzie reveals the real reason why she and Christian called it quits, saying “it just kind of fizzled out.”
“It’s not ugly, nothing horrible happened. It’s just kind of sad,” she revealed. “I felt like we were completely living two different lives. I want a partner. I want someone I can be intimate with on every level. I need someone I can talk to on the bad days and the good days. Someone you know who is just there, that you can do life together. I just felt very lonely and alone.”
Lizzie added, “I just think we want different things in life. I’m a lover. I like passion, I like to travel, I am a hopeless romantic. … I want to be able to connect with [someone]. Life is too short not to have that. I grew up in a very close family. My brother and my dad were really great men in my life and I could talk to them about anything. And with Christian, sometimes I’d have a hard time talking with him about things. And I just want a partner who I can be intimate on every level with.”
When asked if they would get back together, Lizzie said, “I don’t think about it but there’s always a possibility for anything. I just don’t know what happens in the future.”
Is Lizzie still attracted to her estranged husband Christian? She told Lewis, “I think he’s very handsome, yes.”
The former RHOC star filed for divorce from Christian in October 2017 after eight years of marriage. The pair share two sons Kingston and Preston.
