Their Marriage
The adorable couple got married nearly a decade ago in 2014. Ben took to Instagram on June 7, 2022, to celebrate their eighth anniversary with a hilarious clip of them lip-syncing. “No one I’d rather go chasin’ them with. Happy 8th anniversary. @ginger_zee,” he captioned the video, which included the song “Waterfalls” by TLC.
Most recently, Ben took to Instagram to call out an article from Closer via Yahoo! News about his and Ginger’s marriage. The headline questioned whether or not they were still together, to which he joked about in an Instagram post on Jan. 27, 2023. “This is something that Ginger and I have wanted to talk to you all about for a long time but just didn’t know how,” his cheeky caption began. “I’m sorry to say that Ginger and I are no longer together and she is currently living with an American Basswood somewhere near Nova Scotia.”
His satirical post continued, “Am I hurt? Sure. But I know this is what’s best for us. Ginger is happy being sappy and I must move on. Thank you Yahoo gossip person for giving me the strength to bring this to light.” Ginger commented on the post after a friend joked about their love being “evergreen”, to which his wife said, “SOLID.”
Do They Have Kids?
The Renovation Realities stars have welcomed two children together during their loving marriage. Their eldest son, Adrian, was born in Dec. 2015, while his younger brother, Miles, was born in Feb. 2018, per US Weekly. Ginger and Ben often share photos of their children via Instagram, which includes photos of their cute Halloween costumes. “Let’s Dance On The Yellow Brick Road Because We Will Rock Your Heart Of Glass. @ginger_zee #freddiemercury @eltonjohn #eltonjohn #blondie #davidbowie,” the proud dad captioned a family photo on Oct. 31, 2022.
Ginger also spoke to US Weekly in Sept. 2018 about “mom guilt” as a working mother. “Give yourself grace,” she told the outlet at the time. “I think that mom guilt starts from the second the baby is born, so that’s going to happen. It’s OK to feel that and let it wash over you, because it’s going to come anyway.”
