Stacey Rusch has been the topic of many conversations among the ladies of The Real Housewives of Potomac. The girls have mostly put her relationships under the microscope. Now, she’s giving the girls more to discuss as she shares that she’s back together with her ex-husband Thiemo Rusch and enjoying their “second chance.”
Stacey Rusch’s ex-husband has moved back into her home
Stacey was the subject of much debate among the ladies of RHOP, particularly with Ashley Darby and Gizelle Bryant, who were often skeptical about Stacey’s honesty. First they believed Stacey paid her ex-boyfriend, Thomas Anthony “TJ” Jones to be in a relationship with her. Then they believed that she wasn’t really divorced.
Court documents prove that Stacey and her ex-husband were, in fact, legally divorced in 2024. But now, she and Thiemo are giving it another shot since reconciling last year while on Christmas vacation with their daughter.
“My ex-husband and I are dating,” Stacey told PEOPLE. “It feels really, really like this incredible blessing to be able to have a second chance with someone you’ve known for 20 years, the father of your child, one of your best friends on this earth. Thank God that we have this second chance.”
Stacey said they are navigating this new chapter the best they can. This includes Thiemo moving back into their family home, where Stacey lives with their daughter, Arabella.
“We’re all back together right where we belong,” Stacey shared.
The RHOP girls aren’t convinced. Ashley pointed out that Stacey “magically got back together” with her ex-husband just months after her split with TJ. “The math is not mathing.” Gizelle still believes that Stacey was never divorced.
“Do I think Stacey wants us to think that she filed for divorce and now she’s back together with her husband? Yes. Girl, just tell the truth,” Gizelle said.
No matter what the girls think, though, Stacey remains unbothered.
“I’m back with my husband,” Stacey said. “We are trying to work it out. I don’t really live my life with regrets. I think things don’t happen to you, they happen for you and you learn lessons, even if it’s a bad experience. So I don’t have any regrets. I think everything happened for a reason.”
The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 10 reunion starts February 15 at 8/7c on Bravo.
