Stacey Rusch announced on Instagram on July 11, 2026 that she and her ex-husband, Thiemo Rusch, had renewed the vows they first exchanged in 2007. She captioned the announcement "My happily ever after, part two!" adding, "Love is everlasting! We renewed the vows we took in 2007 and our hearts are full. The past made us stronger. The future brings us so much joy!"
That post is what is sending people looking for the full story.
Stacey and Thiemo married in Germany in September 2007, according to divorce filing coverage. Court documents obtained by TMZ, and covered by Bossip, show they separated in August 2023, that Thiemo filed for divorce in early December 2024, and that a final decree was entered on December 16, 2024. They separated after roughly 16 years of marriage, and the divorce was finalized about 17 years after the wedding.
Stacey has said the two of them learned the divorce was final while on a Christmas 2024 trip to Mexico with their daughter, Arabella. "We just looked at each other. I think we both knew it wasn't the end of us," she said.
By February 5, 2026, Stacey told People they were dating again and that Thiemo had moved back into the family home she shares with their daughter, Arabella. "My ex-husband and I are dating, and it feels really, really like this incredible blessing to be able to have a second chance with someone that you've known for 20 years, the father of your child, one of your best friends on this earth," she said, describing their new arrangement as "back together right where we belong."
TheWrap reported in October 2024 that Thiemo was Senior Vice President of Sales and Operations at Audi of America. Stacey has described him as private and largely outside the show.
As of an August 6, 2026 interview, the most recent dated confirmation of their status, Stacey told People she was "incredibly happy" after the vow renewal. "I just got remarried. It was amazing. The second time around was truly beautiful in such a different way," she said at the premiere of *The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th* on August 4, 2026. "I'm just incredibly happy and grateful to God that my family is united again."
