I’m excited about this one! Last week I caught up with my friend, former co-worker, super mom, loving wife and Real Housewives of Toronto cast member, Grego Minot. We discuss the secret to a happy relationship and she dishes on love, passion and her new reality as a “real housewife”. Her hubby (and my former boss) Pierre Jutras also drops in for a surprise chat.

The Secret to a Happy Relationship

Participant #1:

Hello. Hello, folks. This is Jessica O'Reilly, your friendly neighborhood sexologist. And we are here to look at the science, the data, the anecdotes that you can use to have a happier relationship, a hotter sex live. And I'm really excited today because I am joined by Grego Mino. I pronounced it right. Yes, correct. The full pronunciation is Gregorian, Gregorian. Wait. And I thought I'd Butcher it. And Grego and I go way back about 17 years, 17 years, 17 or 18 years. But you probably know Grego, and if you don't, you're going to Google her for sure from the Real Housewives of Toronto. And so Grego and I bartended together 17 years ago when we were much younger, much stronger. And the reason I have Grego here is once you Google her and see her story, you'll see that she is madly in love with her husband of 20 years, who I, in fact, worked with. And Pierre and Grego are ultimately responsible for getting Brandon and I my husband together. So welcome. Thank you for having me, Jess. And I'm really happy to see you. I know you haven't changed. You spectacular. Like always. The truth is, Grego looks exactly the same as Son, and it's our Asian gene. It is. But somehow we're keeping our white husband young, too.

And their story is really beautiful. And I know them personally. Although we've been out of touch. I know how happy they are together, and that's why I wanted to talk to her. So tell me first, how did you and Pierre meet? So Pierre and I, we met both from Montreal. So we met in Montreal. And I used to work for Pierre when Pierre used to have a club in Montreal called the Salvios. It was a time in my life as a child actor. I always worked all my youth. And that phase when I met Pierre was just okay. I want to have fun. I just want to experience life. I worked with Pierre for eight months. I caught the Sagio that was a bartender, and I was so bad as much. Remember, you were actually working. I was just there having to shoot her. Well, Craig was pretty charming, so she probably didn't have to pour as many drinks. Me. I was barking at night, 20 shoes

Participant #1:

at a time. I met Pierre at Club de Savios. I was working for him as a partner, but I was in a previous relationship at that time here, too. But the day it was this instant connection. But we were friends before being a couple very good friends. We actually travel together as a group of friends. And it was only two years after that, we started to be a couple. Okay. So you transitioned from friends? Yeah. And I think this is why today I think we always have this chemistry as friends. Like, really? Of course, the chemistry was yeah. But just we love to have fun together. He's like, my best friend. We're like a team. I guess we're a team. And I heard him talk about you on one of the outtakes from the...
