The couple's marital problems are nothing new: Bravo viewers watched them bicker constantly during the show's first season, and Taylor even likened their marriage to a business arrangement.
Still, the recent split is taking a physical toll on Taylor. "She's emaciated -- down 10, 15 pounds," a source tells Us.

The Real Housewives drama doesn't end there. New cast member Brandi Glanville, 38 -- Eddie Cibrian's ex -- and Kyle Richards, 42, have been "going at it" since filming began on season 2. "They got into a fight and Brandi lunged at Kyle," a source says. "They had to be separated by producers."
Tell Us What You Think
6A bad match from the get go..when the couples were sharing their "how they met" stories..Taylor admitted she pursued him and it took a while b/c he was very reluctant to get married. Contrary to what we're all taught everybody doesn't want to get married and have a family.
If she wanted someone different, why did she marry Russell? What a stupid selfish woman.
He's not icy, he's just not a going out & partying type of person. I guess she thought he would change after the wedding for some reason?
Why??...did he cut off her lip injections or what?
she's seems like such a fun person, i think she deserves someone who wants to do fun things, be involved with her friends, and just celebrate being together! russell definitely wasn't right for her.
I don't know if he's icy, but more of an introvert.
