Caroline and ex-husband Cem Habib announced in December 2019 that they split after 15 years of marriage.
“Cem and I came to the conclusion some time ago that we will continue our relationship not as husband and wife but as good friends and parents to our wonderful 3 children we love very much,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “We wish each other all the happiness and look forward to maintaining our strong family unit .”
While fans saw the couple move to Dubai during season 3, she told Bravo in February 2020 that she was considering moving to the U.S. after her split.
“I definitely have my eye set on the States. That’s my — that’s my goal,” Stanbury said. “I’ve got friends in New York and Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills probably is more of a relaxed atmosphere for me, at least. I love it. I’ve got a lot of friends in L.A., you know? But you never say never to New York either.”
In January 2021, Caroline announced her engagement to former pro soccer player Sergio Carrallo.
“I hadn’t washed for six days. I just woke up with Sergio brushing my hair and I’m like, what are you doing? And he was just so happy. And I was like, it was so bloody irritating because I was freezing,” she recalled of the proposal on the RealiTea With Derek Z, adding that their relationship is “so rare and so different.”
Caroline added that she wanted to get married on an island.
“I want to have just my close friends. I want to make it really cool. You know, my first wedding had 750 and half of them I didn’t know,” she said. “And so, I just want the total opposite. And, you know, it’s very funny because of course now all the questions have started about babies and all this. I mean I mean, maybe the oldest mother on the planet.”
Caroline and Sergio tied the knot in 2021. In November 2023, Caroline exclusively told Us Weekly that the pair were hoping to expand their family.
“Baby boy [is] on ice and is perfect,” she said, referring to her frozen embryo. “And actually, surrogacy just became legal in the [United Arab Emirates] … You never know.”
Caroline currently stars on The Real Housewives of Dubai, which premiered in June 2022. Season 2 is set to premiere in June 2024.
