The last time I saw former socialite and Real Housewife Tinsley Mortimer, which was also the first time I saw Tinsley Mortimer, it was May 2017, and—little did I know at the time—she was several months into a relationship with CouponCabin CEO Scott Kluth, whom Page Six has taken to calling the “Coupon King.” That relationship, which reportedly began in February 2017, has sadly ended after nine months.
“Tinsley thinks Scott is a great guy … it was too much too soon,” a source told Page Six on Monday.
Well. I know what she means, because to me personally it feels like February was a mere three seconds ago, and it’s hard to think of anything I have done that matches the achievement of an entire reality television relationship. Isn’t it weird how time works? To illustrate my point, I have made a list.
