And we've been through a lot, and now it's gonna be public," said Ngatikaura. "We're working through things, and we're trying our best, but things are a little tricky right now."

Co-hostNick Viallthen offered Ngatikaura the opportunity to "clear the air" about her affair rumors, though she turned it down. "I can't say much, unfortunately. I wish I could," said the reality star. "But there is just so much more to the story. And again, relationships are hard and they're nuanced. There's so much more that I'm excited to share because I think people will be able to relate to my story."

"No," she said. "I think that there's been a lot that's happened, and I think that he and I are both willing to work on things and change. But maybe he should be asked that question because that might wake him up." Once again, she teased a future where she does speak out from her side of the drama and owns her parts in it, too. "I'm really good at taking accountability. I own my s---," the cast member said on the podcast. "I am excited to someday tell the full story and fall on my sword and take accountability for certain things, but also open up a bigger conversation that I think needs to happen."
