Stassi Schroeder’s husband, Beau Clark, broke down on House of Stassi about the couple’s marriage issues — and even compared them to roommates.
During the Wednesday, July 29, premiere episode of Hulu’s new show, Beau sat down with Taylor Strecker to discuss the problems in his relationship with Stassi.
“I’m trying to balance wanting her to have her space and to be able to not stress out when she’s working,” Beau, 46, who shares kids Hartford, 5, and Messer, 2, with Stassi, 38, noted. “But then also I’m sitting here and I’m angry and resentful.”
Beau said he was “just shoving it down” instead of confronting the problem. ”I just got so detached from her that it’s like we’re roommates,” he continued. “I don’t feel worthy.”
Reality TV fans have had a front row seat to Stassi and Beau’s ups and downs since they started dating in 2017. After filming their relationship dynamic on Vanderpump Rules, Stassi and Beau got married in 2020 and expanded their family twice.
Beau’s decision to stay home with their kids was a point of contention for the pair. The casting director addressed how their professional lives were affecting the duo’s home life.
“I’m trying not to stress out Stassi. She’s got the show going on and she has her podcast. She’s got brand deals and hopefully at some point, I’ll be able to find the words to just have a chat,” Beau told the cameras. “With Stassi, I will let her know how I’ve been feeling.”
Later in the episode, Beau attempted to broach the subject.
“I just literally just feel like a 1950s housewife where I have my apron on and I’m cleaning everything while feeding the kids,” Beau told Stassi about how giving up his job affected his mental health. “Sometimes that’s how I feel because we don’t have that connection all the time.”
Stassi started to tear up once Beau referred to them as roommates, adding, “I want you to say things. I want you to say things the way that you tell me you don’t want things to build up. I need to make more of an effort.”
In a confessional, Stassi gushed over Beau’s support for her.
“All I know is him being with me in the thick of it every day — for the last five years. I became a mom and he was with me the whole entire time,” Stassi recalled.
Stassi was then asked by producers if Beau’s comments made her unsure about returning to reality TV. Stassi, for her part, made it clear that it was time.
“I’ve already been working for years to get here. I can’t just stop now because all of a sudden, Beau waited until this very moment to tell me that,” she explained before telling Beau they would “work through” any potential issues.
Stassi then joked about Beau finding love with someone younger, to which he replied, “I hope you’re joking. Why would you even say something like that? I’m telling you my feelings. I’m not trying to sit there. I know you’re not trying to make me feel bad. I feel guilty. You are not in charge of my feelings.”
House of Stassi premieres Thursday, July 30, on Hulu.
