During Season 7, Episode 2, Heather relayed the story of how Terry first proposed to her.
"It wasn't that good," she said. "We were on a plane on the way to Paris. I thought we were going to get engaged in Paris, so I was ready. And then he starts getting warm and starting to sweat. He's like, 'Umm, uhh, uh, I love you! Will you marry me?' I had a moment of, 'That wasn't good.''

How Heather and Terry Dubrow Had "Too Much Fun" Celebrating the 27th Anniversary of Their First (Blind!) DateTerry Dubrow's Stroke
In August 2023, Terry suffered a“transient ischemic attack” (TIA) that caused stroke-like symptoms. The couple opened up about the situation during the RHOC Season 17 reunion.
"[Terry]had a stroke in front of me and then didn't realize it happened. [We had] a huge fight — he was, like, crazy belligerent afterwards and not himself. And I chased him around Beverly Hills for an hour. Literally, chased him," explained Heather. "We finally got him to go to the hospital and the doctor comes out and they wheeled in the monitor and [Terry] read it and he goes, 'I had a f-cking stroke.' I go, 'I know. I was there.'"
Later, during an appearance onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Terry got emotional thinking about how his wife's insistence he go to the hospital saved his life.
"I'm gonna try to say this without crying, but the only reason I'm standing here today and not six feet under is because of my best friend and beloved wife's insistence that I go to the emergency room and get checked out," he said. "She saved my life. That's just the way it goes. So, what can I say? I love my wife and she saved my life."

What happened to Terry Dubrow during his health scare?
While out to eat with Heather and Nick, Terry began slurring his speech — prompting his family to call 911 despite his hesitations.
After arriving at the hospital,doctors discovered that he had a patent foramen ovale (PFO), “which is a hole in the heart that didn’t close the way it should after birth.” A blood clot had apparently passed through the PFO before traveling to his brain and causing the TIA.

Today, Terry is back to his wonderful, healthy self. In fact,doctors were able to fix Terry’s PFO the same day the issue happened. He was soon cleared to perform surgery and do high-intensity workouts.
