Morgan Stewart spilling the tea on second chances in relationships.
With plenty of experience in that department, the “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills” alum who rekindled her romance with her now-husband, Jordan McGraw, ten years after their first split, shares some non-negotiable relationships.
Morgan Stewart was previously married to Brendan Fitzpatrick for three years. The couple were together for six years before pulling the plug in 2019.
Morgan Stewart shares an important piece of dating advice
Stewart now shares relationship advice on Bee Line, a new social series from popular dating app Bumble. The line allows callers with serious dating problems to hear from industry stars who know the dating pool.
The mother of two said she enjoys giving advice on matters of the heart, but one piece of advice she has offered has stuck through the years. “Anytime you try to rationalize an emotion or try to get to the middle of something that feels a little off to you, that’s because something isn’t right,” she explained.
She also encourages friends and contacts who seek wisdom from her experience to enjoy the dating phase rather than taking it to the next level. Stewart noted that setting firm boundaries and knowing yourself go a long way in a relationship. “You can create direction; it’s like restarting a relationship,” she tells PEOPLE exclusively.
The Reality TV Alum gave non-negotiable details for rekindled love
Stewart rekindled her romance with her husband now a decade after they first broke up. She shared that they dated for a year before moving on to other relationships and then found love for each other once more, finally tying the knot.
Based on her experience, the mother of two explained that getting back together with an ex should only happen if ground rules are in place. Speaking further, she noted that exes should not be used as rebounds or as a cure for loneliness.
“You can’t get back with a man who was toxic, who treated you badly, who wasn’t loyal to you. Those are inevitable in getting back with an ex,” Stewart said before giving up. If a couple drifted apart when they were young, they could reconnect when they have grown into improved versions of themselves.
Morgan Stewart’s relationship with Jordan McGraw
Stewart revealed in 2020 that she and McGraw broke up ten years before getting back together. “He was like, ‘I’m not down with you, dude.’ And then I was like, ‘Okay, whatever, I’m over you, I don’t care,'” she said during Instagram Live.
The couple sparked dating rumors after McGraw posted a photo of them on Instagram in February 2020. The following month, Stewart confirmed that they were a couple and had already been dating for 3 months.
Their relationship took a roller coaster ride when McGraw popped the question about three months after the TV personality confirmed they were a couple. That means the couple met, dated, rekindled feelings in the past, and got engaged within six months.
A month after announcing their engagement, they dropped another bombshell. The lovebirds said they were expecting their first child together. The musician and Stewart said their vows in an intimate ceremony in December 2020, according to PEOPLE.
Their daughter, Row Renggli, was born in February 2021, and seven months later, they announced that they were already expecting their second child. A day after Row turned, they welcomed their son, Gray Oliver.
The ‘Rich Kids Of Beverly Hills’ star was previously married To Brendan Fitzpatrick
Stewart and her husband Fitzpatrick met through mutual circles in the Los Angeles social scene before appearing together on the E! reality series. They started dating in 2013 and were together for three years before Fitzpatrick got down on one knee.
Their 2016 wedding was featured on “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills,” and Steart resumed her career with the network after the show ended, as shared by The Blast.
Three years after the wedding, the couple divorced. The TV personality announced the breakup online, saying it was a “difficult decision” driven by growing apart and a desire to move on to the next chapter of their lives. Stewart filed for divorce a few months after announcing their separation, and the court finalized it in 2020.
Morgan Stewart faced rumors of infidelity
Before announcing their breakup, Stewart was accused of cheating on Fitzpatrick with her married boss, NBCUniversal executive Bryce Kristensen. Insiders told the media that the affair seemed to have started while her marriage to the journalist was still in the honeymoon phase.
They said Kristensen and Stewart were helpful in conference room meetings, raising suspicions about their relationship. Both parties denied the rumours, insisting that they were just friends.
“Morgan and I have been friends and colleagues for years, and nothing more than that,” Kristensen said in a statement. The TV star echoed similar sentiments, telling Page Six that she’s happily married and that “Bryce and I have known each other since the beginning of my career and I’ve only been friends and colleagues.”
Stewart filed for divorce in October 2019 and listed the separation date as April 6, 2019, a month after cheating rumors surfaced.
