Dr. Contessa is a married woman to her longtime husband Dr. Walter Scott Metcalfe. Both are successful doctors who have been married for 17 years. They first met at a medical conference that both of them were attending. Even though the pair hit it off quickly, they couldn’t meet as frequently as they would have liked. As a result, the pair had to stay in a long-distance relationship for quite a while. After dating for a couple of years, Contessa and Walter decided to tie the knot. Their wedding ceremony was held in 2005. In the years of conjugal life so far, they have given birth to three lovely children, Laila, Lauren, and London Metcalfe.
Dr. Contessa and Dr. Scott’s relationship has been through many ups and downs, as they struggled to balance their careers, family, and personal issues. The marriage trouble was evident on the reality show “Married to Medicine” where they appeared together. According to their co-star, Quad Webb the marriage was on the verge of divorce who revealed that Dr. Contessa had filed for legal separation from Dr. Scott. But in a surprising turn of events, the couple managed to save their marriage and reconcile.
In addition to the personal relationship, Dr. Contessa and her husband come together in a business and run a joint medical practice, where Dr. Contessa specializes in occupational and preventive medicine, while Dr. Scott is a family doctor.
Dr. Contessa and Dr. Scott have proven that marriage is not easy, but it is worth fighting for. They have also shown that reality television can be a blessing in disguise, as it can help them heal and reconnect with each other.
