Angie Katsanevas would have expected a snowflake in July before anticipating a split from husband Shawn Trujillo.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star—whose separation from the hairdresser was first reported in July—confessed that she would “absolutely not” have believed that she and the 55-year-old would ever grow apart.

“Never in a million years,” she exclusively told E! News. “No, it’s a hard thing to go through when you’re questioning your future and what that looks like for you as a couple.”

One reason that the sunglasses style icon—whose relationship struggles are unfolding on season seven of the show, currently airing on Bravo and Peacock—believed her vows would last forever? Katsanevas is a practicing Greek Orthodox Christian.

“In my religion or faith, you’re together forever,” the 52-year-old explained. “That was my goal, obviously, in marrying Shawn.”

Despite the difficult period after 27 years of marriage, the entrepreneur—who grew Lunatic Fringe Salon into a national franchise alongside Trujillo, with whom she shares 15-year-old Elektra—is committed to continuing to openly share her life.

“We’re facing challenges,” Katsanevas admitted, noting, “I’m always honest about what I’m going through, what I’m dealing with at home.”
