As Christine Quinn has problems with seemingly everyone in the office, Mary Fitzgerald started to separate herself from Quinn's drama and bond with the other girls. Especially if all she had to do was continue her great friendships she already established before the show was even a thing. Smith revealed how she met both Fitzgerald and Jason Oppenheim separately, and introduced them. Little did she know that the two would start dating.
"I met Mary first at a party and then we became fast friends," Smith said on the "Behind the Velvet Rope" podcast in 2020. "I had already met Jason. Then I introduced Mary and Jason at my rooftop barbecue. But it was all 20 years ago, so we have all known one another for that long."
The two boss ladies have been close ever since, and Smith was even the maid of honor in Fitzgerald's wedding with Romain Bonnet, per TV Overmind. According to Screen Rant, Smith dated actor Taye Diggs in 2014, who happened to be one of Fitzgerald's clients in Season 1 of "Selling Sunset." From old connections to new connections, Smith — like Fitzgerald — has bonded with the other girls in the office since she was brought on to the show.
