The “RHOSLC” star said, “Yes, we are going to be separating.” After that, she said she wanted to be vulnerable in the new season, calling this phase of her life “a new season of life.” She was then asked if there had been a “breaking point” in her marriage to Trujillo.

Katsanevas responded, “No, there’s nothing. There’s not just one thing. I mean, it’s just two people evolving.” Regarding her being “defensive” in past “RHOSLC” seasons, she explained, “What I was defensive about in seasons three and four were false rumors and accusations.”

Regarding now, Katsanevas stated, “I can be honest and talk about my truth, and it’s not a rumor; it’s not about something someone said that’s an untruth about your partner.” She added, “Of course I’d be defensive.”

As the Entertainment Tonight interview continued, Katsanevas made it clear that she harbors no ill will toward her husband and still defends him. According to her, “I would never want anyone to speak ill of Shawn,” before noting their decades-long union.

She continued, “We’re husband and wife, we’re best friends, all of our greatest accomplishments have been together- our business, our daughter.” From there, Katsanevas vowed to “always be protective of him.” However, she then said, “But, again, that was me being defensive of rumors and lies versus now I’m telling my story. I’m telling my truth and our truth.”

When asked about their future, she said they were “moving toward separating and having space and spending more time independently.” She confirmed that this was the state of her marriage during “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” season seven.

Katsanevas also confirmed that they currently reside in the same home. She also shared that their separation won’t affect their shared business. She explained, “We’ll always remain business partners no matter what we decide to do.”
