Newsanchor Giuliana Rancic and her husbandBill Rancic, who won the first season ofThe Apprentice.
Read on to discover the untold truth ofGiuliana & Bill.
He saw all of the cameras and film crew and initially questioned how much it’d all cost him.
The TV station’s wedding special skyrocketed and the concept for a show was born.
Bill explained that he was “pretty reluctant” to do the show in the beginning.
Most people keep their private lives, well,private.
Together, and with the whole world watching, they embarked on their new journey.
In hindsight, Bill told the site that it was all worth it.
She reportedly said that she hoped her daughters would find a relationship like theirs someday.
We’re looking at you,Jon and Kate Gosselin.
AndBritney Spearsand Kevin Federline.
And Nick Lachey andJessica Simpson.
AndLinda and Hulk Hogan.
Okay, you get the point.
Reality TV is stillTV.
And TV needs to be entertaining; viewerslovedrama.
“There is that reality show curse, but this is different,” Bill told theLos Angeles Times.
“It makes being married cool.
There is no flipping tables or cursing at each other.
It’s very positive.”
So how did the reality couple manage to last through their reality show and beyond?
It’s much easier to break down on TV if you haven’t built that solid base off-camera first.
“Either show this real side or don’t show anything.”
Hence, they moved forward with all of it: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
They were angry and sad to endure a miscarriage, of course.
Miscarrying is so common and yet, sadly, so taboo.
By talking about it openly, they helped dispel some myths and shed the shame surrounding miscarriages.
It’s because they don’t really argue.
In fact, they’re a pretty vanilla couple, compared to most reality television couples.
Bill told theAssociated Pressback in 2010 that he and Giuliana don’t have the arguments that other couples have.
And, of course, it’s partly because they’re just not that kind of reality-TV crazy.
It’s difficult to picture.
I’m back.'"
She explained that just that “little moment” helped her immensely in her recovery.
She toldGlamourin an exclusive interview that she was in unbearable pain at times following her surgery from breast cancer.
She was hurting so bad at one point that she was throwing up.
“I was screaming and crying,” she said.
“I had four drains under and above my breasts, and they’re stitched into your skin.
Just two weeks later, Giuliana went back to work.
The couple took some time to process the news off-camera to themselves, she explained.
They began as a long-distance couple, which is hard enough.
But they also dealt with infertility and endured a long journey with IVF.
Giuliana had a miscarriage and they ultimately brought on a surrogate whoalsohad a miscarriage.
And, amidst all of it, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy.
Giuliana and Bill also became parents during their time on the show.
Giuliana added that they wouldn’t trade their journey for anything.
Taking a break from reality television was the right decision for their family at the time.
This meant sharing big moments, like their struggle with infertility, but also small moments, too.
Like, for instance, when they’re not exactly looking their best.
“We get there’s cameras around,” Giuliana revealed in an interview withABC News.
“We never, ever cut anything out of the show.
If I look like crap without my makeup, I don’t care.
We put everything in the show.”
In an interview withE!
News,they shared that they have no regrets whatsoever.
Bill revealed that “there isn’t one episode that we’re ashamed of.”
So proud of it,” she revealed onOn Air with Ryan Seacrest.
Before they decided to take a break for their son, Duke, Giuliana actually toldE!
Newsthat she wanted to keep doing the show forever.
Will Giuliana & Bill return?
But with Duke being older, they might just get back to it.
Duke seems to love being in the spotlight, anyway, Giuliana toldPeople.
