“We’re not happily ever after,” Tom told Us Weekly and other reporters at the NBCUniversal Press Junket at Beauty and Essex in Hollywood on Monday, November 13. “We still have a lot of work to do.”

Added Katie: “We would be lying to ourselves if we said everything is great, but it is significantly a lot better.”

As for the forthcoming season of their hit reality show, the couple revealed that many SUR-prises are in store. “We’ve always been very ambitious, at least vaguely ambitious, that’s what I like to say,” Tom teased. “I’m vaguely ambitious, but now that I’m married, we’re starting to think about having a family and starting to think about kids. We’re focused on the future now and excited about it. Back in the day, I think I was scared of the future.”

Chiming in, Katie echoed her husband’s sentiments: “The future has become less hypothetical and more real. It’s been fun and excited and a lot less scary that I thought it would be.”

The duo, who tied the knot in August on the season 5 finale of Vanderpump Rules, also opened up about starting a family. “It’s all part of the big picture,” Katie noted. “I think right now, we’re on the brinks of some exciting stuff.”
