Caroline Stanbury and Sergio Carrallo have been bickering quite a lot on The Real Housewives Of Dubai season 2, and all the signs show that this couple might not make it. The duo has been married since December 2021, and their journey has been steady despite their 19-year age gap. Nobody hasn't been quite like Sergio on The Real Housewives Of Dubai.

He's proven to be the embodiment of a perfect partner despite Caroline accusing him of being clingy. Caroline, 48, has been the type to crack sarcastic jokes that sometimes don't sit well with Sergio as he's pretty sensitive. Throughout The Real Housewives of Dubai season 2, Sergio and Caroline have fought a lot. The twosome is finding it difficult to be in each other's presence.

How Did Caroline & Sergio's Relationship Form?

Caroline and Sergio met in Newport Beach, California, when she was promoting her podcast. Sergio was seated in the audience, and he later stated that the former Ladies Of London star had a "sensitive spot" in his heart from the moment he sent his eyes to her. The duo started dating in 2019 but only went public with their relationship in July 2020.

Caroline & Sergio Got Married in RHODubai Season 1

In January 2021, Caroline and the soccer player got engaged in January 2021 while celebrating the New Year during their trip to Nepal. Caroline and Sergio exchanged vows in one of the most lavish weddings in December 2021 at Raffles The Palm Resort, Dubai. According to Bravo, The Real Housewives of Dubai pair got legally married in Mauritius in November 2021. This happened because the UAE couldn't recognize interfaith marriages at the time. Sergio is Catholic, whereas Caroline is Jewish. To avoid legal issues in Dubai, the couple had their official marriage in a different country.

Sergio Wants Caroline To Have His Child

Just like in The Real Housewives Of Dubai season 1, where the duo often discussed kids, the pair have talked about it a lot lately. Although Caroline has previously stated she is excited to give Sergio a child soon, they still haven't found common ground on when that should happen. Caroline already has three children from her previous marriage and has one frozen male embryo with her husband.

Unlike Sergio, who genuinely wants a child, Caroline is "undecided" on whether that's the right option or if she should use other means, such as a surrogate. She's afraid of any unforeseen dangers that could happen when having an IVF at 48. Their views on when to have children have put a strain on their marriage. Despite expressing her health-related worries, she might also be unsure of whether Sergio would be a hands-on dad or not.

Caroline Feels Like More Of A Mother To Sergio

Caroline's and Sergio's age difference is so apparent in their actions that Caroline feels like she has to act like Sergio's mom. He is too clingy. Sergio is too needy and sometimes expects Caroline to fulfill most of his needs. Sergio expects Caroline to compliment him after he completes simple tasks, just like one would with a child.

Caroline sorted out the utilities in one scene as he moved her handbag collection from the room into the car. While Caroline's daughter Yasmine Habib was telling her not to have a child with Sergio, she called him "man child." It means that even Caroline's children can see how immature he is, which sometimes causes tension in their relationship.

Are Caroline & Sergio Still Together?

Despite Sergio's clinginess, their marriage seems genuine. The Real Of Housewives of Dubai reality stars have had their fair share of controversies, with some viewers feeling like Sergio is "using her for money." Caroline comes from luxury, but Sergio also made his money as a professional Real Madrid player before meeting her. There is some baby-related stress that keeps Caroline and Sergio arguing, but everything else looks fine in their relationship. Caroline shared a selfie of herself and Sergio on July 23, and the pair looked happy, showing that they are still a united front.

The Real Housewives of Dubai airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
