Emily Simpson and her husband, Shane Simpson, aren't afraid to bring up the issues in their relationship, even any speculation about the state of their union floating around.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

During Season 18, Episode 3 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Shane addressed Emily's obsession with her health, while Emily said that Shane isn't concerned about his enough. But, this hasn't put a permanent rift in their relationship. And according to a recent Instagram Story of Emily's, a divorce is not on the horizon.

Emily Simpson says she's "not getting divorced" from husband, Shane

After an account posted "breaking news" about her and Shane "officially divorcing," Emily took to her own Instagram Story where she set the record straight. Emily reposted the photo of her and Shane and immediately shut down the rumors.

"We're not getting divorced!" Emily wrote over the reposted story. "Shane is never getting rid of me!"

Emily warned her followers to be wary about stories saying they're getting divorced. "This is BS clickbait," she added.

How Emily Simpson & Shane Simpson's health habits affect their marriage

RHOC Season 18 Episode 3 found Emily and Shane at an odds in their health habits. Shane told producers during a confessional that he fears that sometimes "Emily takes it too far" with her workout routine.

"I think Emily's pathway to being healthy is terrific," Shane explained. "I'm very proud of her, I'm very happy for her. But I do think she takes it a little too far, to the point where she disappoints herself when she can't make it to the gym one day."

But, according to Emily, Shane's health habits aren't the best — especially since he drinks soda all day. "My kids see me go to the gym every day, so I think kids seeing that I have an active lifestyle is a good thing," she said, defending herself.

"It counterbalances Shane walking around with his Big Gulps all the time."

Emily Simpson says it was "difficult" filming with Shane Simpson

Emily and Shane also had difficulties agreeing with his behavior when she first joined the cast in Season 13. As seen in the video above, Emily had problems with what side Shane would take when it came to the drama between her RHOC cast members. "Well, I remember you'd get mad with anything I said," Shane said. "So that made it hard to film."

But, Emily has since lightened up on her husband since their debut season. "I also let him be him, now," she explained. 

And being on RHOC has since helped their marriage. "I feel like Shane and I have grown as a couple and I think the show has a lot to do with that."
