While her engagement to “The Bachelorette” winner Roberto Martinez did not last, 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 lived in LA. We both worked in the entertainment industry – my husband is a radio host. … I worked in television at the Hallmark Channel until the day we left LA,” Fedotowsky-Manno told Chrisley.

Despite inevitable “circles of hierarchy,” the former reality star, who starred in Season 3 of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test,” admitted her family has a deep love for Nashville. However, she has a little regret about leaving Los Angeles.
“Sometimes I’m driving around, especially in the fall, and I look at the trees, and I think, ‘Ahhh, it’s so beautiful here!'” I suffer from allergies quite a bit, so that’s something that might make me love it Not as much as I could love it because the allergies here are crazy.”

“I do too,” she insisted. “I’m telling you…I’ve poured so much money into this allergy problem. I’ve done everything from chiropractors, acupuncture, massages – I’m actually getting a lymphatic facial massage, which is different from a full body massage, this weekend to see if that helps – I have red light therapy, saunas.
“I’ve been to multiple ENTs. I use allergy drops. I put local honey. I have machines like that. I do the sinus rinse.”
Manno said the only thing she hasn’t tried so far is surgery to repair her deviated septum.
