New revelations have emerged regarding Angie Katsanevas and her decision to part ways with husband Shawn Trujillo, raising more interest in their relationship dynamics.
The announcement of their separation after a 27-year-long marriage has sent ripples through the media. According to sources, it was the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, now 52, who initiated the breakup with Shawn, aged 53, earlier this year. There’s also insight into why the couple chose to keep their split under wraps initially.
“Angie is the one who called it off,” an insider revealed to The U.S. Sun on July 20. “They have been separated for months, aiming to project a positive image both for their business endeavors and for the show. Despite their efforts, they are unsure how to handle the public fallout from ending a relationship that spanned three decades without seeming dishonest.”
“So that’s why it’s been under wraps,” the source continued. “The decision wasn’t made lightly, and most importantly, they want to protect their daughter [15-year-old Elektra] and their business.”
As for the allegations of cheating, the insider insisted, “There is no merit to any affair.”
They also said that Angie’s decision to leave her marriage was done after careful consideration, and they added that she and Shawn still have “so much love” for one another.
Following the news of Angie and Shawn’s reported split, Angie’s former RHOSLC castmate, Monica Garcia, 43, appeared on the July 20 episode of Carlos King‘s podcast, Reality with The King, where she discussed the potential reason behind the breakup.
“I did hear that Shawn may allegedly feel that Angie K. has changed once she became a Housewife,” Carlos began.
“That’s exactly what I heard, too,” Monica replied. “That she has become … Intolerable? Insufferable? Difficult?… out of touch with reality? All consumed by the show, maybe?”
Monica then signaled claims made by Mary Cosby, 53, on the series.
“She said, ‘You’re letting this sh*t get to your head.’ Mary said it. Mary has been telling her season after season, ‘You’re changing, you’re changing, you’re changing, you’re changing. I don’t recognize you. I don’t know this one. Where’s my old Angie friend?’”
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season seven is expected to premiere on Bravo sometime in the coming months.
