Personal matters, wife, and baby
Topper married Tinsley when they were both 18 years old, as they ran away from home together and exchanged their wedding vows in secret, however – their parents found out, and the marriage was annulled, however, they kept dating for the next eight years, and finally exchanged their wedding vows in 2002 (and they did it right this time), but the marriage lasted for just seven years as the two divorced in 2009 – the alleged reason behind the divorce was the difference of their personalities.
After the divorce, Tinsley won her role in the “Real Housewives of New York City” reality TV show, which made her popular, however, she lost many of her fans after she was arrested for trespassing in April 2016, when she entered her ex-boyfriend’s house in Palm Beach.

Several months before their wedding on 29 January 2018, the couple welcomed their daughter – Violet Elizabeth Mortimer – and while this is Topper’s first child, Tabitha has two sons from her first marriage, named Dylan and Elliott.

However, he also remembered that his former wife Tinsley was one of these people, as she loved being mentioned in the newspapers and on the social media networks.
