The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Taylor Armstrong had a chaotic life before she met her now-husband, John H. Bluher. Taylor was one of the original cast members of RHOBH and was only on for a short time. However, during her three seasons, Taylor experienced many dramatic events that RHOBH fans still discuss today. During her time on the show, Taylor admitted she was being physically abused, only to suffer the tragic loss of her first husband, Russell Armstrong. Now that RHOBH season 13 is airing, it’s time to revisit an iconic alum.
It seemed as if Taylor’s life with Russell and her daughter, Kennedy Armstrong, was perfect. However, it was soon revealed that Russell was physically and emotionally abusive towards Taylor and had even dislocated her jaw at one time. In 2011, Taylor filed for divorce from Russell, and tragically, months later, he committed suicide. After Russell’s death, Taylor was hit with lawsuits from Russell’s previous financial dealings. The RHOBH star sought financial and legal advice from John, a successful lawyer, and after working closely together, the two eventually fell in love.

Before meeting Taylor, John was married to Stephanie Bluher. There were rumors Taylor and John were having an affair, but despite being technically married, a source insisted that his relationship with his first wife was over. After John’s divorce from Stephanie was complete, he proposed to the RHOBH alum in August 2013 in Punta Mita, Mexico. The couple got married in 2014 in a beachfront ceremony (via Celebrity Net Worth). Taylor, who considers John her soulmate, shared that she believes the universe put John on her path for a reason.
John Bluher & Taylor Armstrong Have Blended Their Families
John, who shares three children with his ex-wife, Stephanie, has been praised by former RHOBH star Taylor for completing her family with Kennedy. Soon after they married, John went through the process of adopting Kennedy as his daughter. The couple lived in Colorado for a year before returning to Southern California at Taylor’s insistence. Despite having to leave his children behind, John agreed to the move.
Taylor appeared on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2 and as a friend on The Real Housewives of Orange County season 17. However, no matter what Taylor does, John seems super supportive. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans have always rooted for Taylor and can’t wait to see what she’s been up to.
