While having a chat with Us Weekly in August 2015, Josh said, “I signed up for the site foolishly and ignorantly with a group of friends and I deeply apologize for any embarrassment or pain I have brought to my wife and family. We both look forward to moving past this and getting on with our lives.”

Are Kristen Taekman and Josh Taekman still married?

The pair walked down the aisle in the year 2005 and they are still together. 

Every now, and then, Kristen and Josh share pictures of themselves with their two kids on social media.

In 2019, the Bravo star stated that she and her husband were able to move through the fallout that was caused by Ashley Madison's leak. 

During an interview in June 2019, Kristen recalled, "Right after I decided not to do [RHONY again], there was a little blip in the radar screen in the tabloids with my marriage."

She went on to say, "And you know what? It was so funny ‘cause I have so many friends like, 'I [bet] Bravo wishes they had some cameras rolling.' But to be totally honest with you, there was nothing really to talk about or to roll [on]. It’s like, whatever happens in my marriage, my private life at that point was private."

Then, 'The Real Housewives of New York City' star mentioned that she and her partner didn't split during that period.

She continued, "I think every marriage has its ups and downs and its bumps in the road. And we had one and we’re stronger for it and here we are now."
