During her engagement “The Bachelorette” Winner Roberto Martinez did not last long, as she later found love in the arms of radio and TV presenter Kevin Manno. The couple married in March 2017 and have two children.
“We were living in Los Angeles. We were working in the entertainment industry — my husband was a radio broadcaster. … I worked in television on the Hallmark Channel until the day we left Los Angeles,” Fedotowsky-Manno told Chrisley.

“There's a lot of bullying in the entertainment industry, and I don't think people see that,” Fedotowsky-Manno said. “It's very cruel, and I felt, in a lot of different circumstances, a lot of hate. … I didn't care about all of it.”

“I was like, 'I'm done with this. I'm tired of it,'” she added. I really wanted to get that out of my life, but then I realized when I moved, that genre exists everywhere, but in a different way, there's always a social hierarchy in any circle.
“There's a lot of bullying in the entertainment industry, and I don't think people see that. It's very cruel, and I've felt, in a lot of different circumstances, a lot of hate.”
Despite the inevitable circles of “hierarchy,” the former reality TV star, who starred in Season 3 of “Special Forces: World's Toughest Test,” admitted her family has a deep love for Nashville. However, she feels a little regretful about leaving Los Angeles.
“Sometimes I'm driving, especially in the fall, and I look at the trees, and I'm like, 'Oh, it's so beautiful here!'” I have allergies pretty bad, and that's the thing that makes me probably not love it as much as I could love it because the allergies here are crazy. “

“I do,” she insisted. “I'm telling you….I've spent a lot of money on this allergy problem. I've done everything from chiropractors, acupuncture, massage—I actually get a lymphatic facial massage, which is different from a full body massage. At the end of this week to see if it helps – I have red light therapy and a sauna.
“I have been to many ENT centres. I take allergy drops. I use local honey. I have machines like this. I clean my sinuses.”
Manu said the only thing she has not tried yet is surgery to fix her deviated septum.
