As of spring 2023, Carl and Laura Lentz are still married. “It has been challenging and h*ll yeah it’s taken a LOT of work the past 22 months … to make our marriage what it has become,” Laura wrote on Instagram in September 2022. She added that her decision to stand by her man is “not for everyone” but that she’s hopeful their story of resilience can inspire others. Likewise, Carl alluded to a “challenging road” in an Instagram carousel of his own. “Not sure what the future holds for us, but we do know that we face it as a family and for that I am so thankful,” he captioned the black-and-white photos of the Lentz clan.

As People noted back in 2020, the couple put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes to keep their marriage intact. Where Carl was once decked out in the latest designer duds and rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, he veered away from that lifestyle to prioritize “reading, nature, and game nights” with his family. Rebuilding trust with Laura was a slow road, and after the affair first made headlines, it was unclear whether the Lentzes’ marriage would survive. In November 2020, Laura was even spotted out and about sans wedding ring, per People. “She went to the tanning salon and did not want to lose her wedding ring,” a friend claimed. Or maybe, she was on the fence about staying married.
