Beau Clark, husband of reality television personality Stassi Schroeder, has openly discussed significant marital challenges in the premiere episode of Schroeder’s new Hulu series, ‘House of Stassi.’ Clark, 46, expressed feelings of anger and resentment towards his wife, 38, detailing a dynamic he described as akin to ‘roommates’ rather than romantic partners. The couple, who married in 2020 and share two young children, Hartford and Messer, revealed these difficulties during a conversation with Taylor Strecker, Schroeder’s podcast co-host.

Beau Clark Details Marital Disconnect

In an emotional outpouring, Clark confessed to experiencing anger and resentment, admitting he had been suppressing these feelings rather than addressing them directly with Schroeder. He shared that this internal struggle has led to a sense of detachment, making him feel like they are merely living together as roommates and diminishing his sense of self-worth.

Clark, who has taken on the role of a stay-at-home father while Schroeder maintains a demanding career as the primary breadwinner, spoke about the complexities of balancing his desire to support her professional endeavors with his own emotional needs. ‘I’m trying to balance wanting her to have her space and to be able to not stress out when she’s working,’ Clark explained to Strecker, as reported by Us Weekly. ‘But then also I’m sitting here and I’m angry and resentful.’

He elaborated on the difficulty of confronting Schroeder with these issues, particularly given her busy schedule with her television show, podcast, and various brand commitments. In a taped confessional, Clark stated, ‘I’m trying not to stress out Stassi. She’s got the show going on and she has her podcast. She’s got brand deals.’ Despite these hesitations, he expressed a hope to eventually find the right moment and words to communicate his feelings to his wife.

Clark further illustrated his feelings by comparing his role in the household to that of a ‘1950s housewife,’ feeling occupied with domestic duties and childcare while experiencing a lack of consistent connection with Schroeder. ‘Sometimes that’s how I feel because we don’t have that connection all the time,’ he admitted.

Stassi Schroeder Responds to Husband’s Concerns

Schroeder appeared visibly moved, tearing up when Clark articulated the ‘roommate’ comparison. She reassured him of her desire for open communication, encouraging him to voice his feelings rather than allowing them to accumulate. Schroeder acknowledged the need for her to make a greater effort in their relationship and expressed a commitment to working through their challenges together.

In her own confessional, Schroeder spoke highly of Clark’s supportive nature, particularly his consistent presence throughout her journey as a mother over the past five years. ‘All I know is him being with me in the thick of it every day – for the last five years. I became a mom and he was with me the whole entire time,’ she stated.

Despite the emotional strain revealed on camera, Schroeder indicated that Clark’s struggles would not deter her from returning to reality television. She emphasized her long-standing career aspirations, stating, ‘I’ve already been working for years to get here. I can’t just stop now because all of a sudden, Beau waited until this very moment to tell me that.’

Background of the Couple’s Relationship

Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark’s relationship began in 2017 while Schroeder was a cast member on Bravo’s ‘Vanderpump Rules.’ Clark entered Schroeder’s life following her on-again, off-again relationship with Patrick Meagher. The couple legally married in California in 2020, shortly after Schroeder’s departure from ‘Vanderpump Rules’ due to a racism scandal.

They later celebrated with a more elaborate ceremony in Rome, Italy, in 2022. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Hartford, in January 2021, and their second child, son Messer, in September 2023.
