When Emily Simpson first joined the cast of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Orange County in Season 13, her marriage to Shane Simpson used to be in a rocky place. The longtime spouses steadily got in verbal spats in front of the cameras, and Shane's inability to cross the California bar examination further put a strain on their union.

So, is Emily Simpson from 'The Real Housewives of Orange County' getting a divorce?

Though Emily's marriage was once at the rocks during her first few seasons on the Bravo reality collection, her marriage to Shane is more potent than ever ahead of — and she or he's no longer getting divorced.

"Shane and I are in such a good place," Emily shared about her marriage in a clip for Bravo Insider in November of 2021. "And I know you've all just been on the ride with us as we've gone up and down, but that's what marriage is, right? It's a roller coaster."

The two were in marriage counseling, and they've been specializing in each and every other.

"I think to make a marriage work, you really have to invest in the marriage but also in one another," Emily added. "So that's what we've tried to do to really make our marriage better is invest in each other, and to spend more time together, and to really listen to each other more — which is really, really hard for me, because I don't like to listen to other people... I am trying to do better at that."

"Date nights are great, if you can carve out time every week, or once a month..." Emily said about what her and Shane did to turn their marriage round. "You really have to commit to spending time together one on one. That makes a huge difference in a marriage. At least it did for us."

Emily and Shane are in a "good place" now, however they went via marital issues on past seasons of 'RHOC.'

While Shane and Emily are showcasing their marital bliss on RHOC Season 16, longtime enthusiasts of the series will take into accout when the spouses were at the verge of getting divorced.

When Shane used to be seeking to pass the bar examination, Emily needed to take at the brunt of the parenting duties for his or her 3 children. Once Shane failed the examination several times, it put even more rigidity on their relationship.

During a 2019 appearance on What What Happens Live, Emily defended her marriage.

"I'm not trying to make excuses for him, but I see a side of him that other people don't get to see, so I think that's what makes up for it," she said at the past due night time talk sequence. "I know it sounds awful but I'm the one who goes home with him at night when we're alone and he says nice things and he gets me cards he writes nice things to me."

In that same 12 months, she told the Daily Dish how hard it was once on Shane for him to stay failing the examination.

"I mean, it was devastating to not pass," she stated. "I took the bar exam in 2005, and then I passed the first time, so I don't even know what that must have felt like for him. I've said before, I feel badly, but I give him a lot of credit for doing what he did, and he did it with millions of people watching."

"I mean, when I took the bar exam in '05, it was like, just my family knew I was taking it. And for him to go through that and to take it and for millions of people to judge and have opinions about it, I mean, I think that was a pretty brave thing to do," she continued.

While we've got seen particular strain in Emily and Shane's courting in the previous on RHOC, the two are lately thriving in their marriage — and Shane is now formally a attorney.
