“Real Housewives of Potomac” alum Monique Samuels and her husband Chris Samuels are speaking out to set the record straight about their marriage.
As it was previously reported, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE that Monique and the former NFL player were splitting after 10 years of marriage. The couple who share three children, sons Christopher, 9, and Chase, 3, and daughter Milani, 7, did not speak out at the time but seemingly hinted that they are fine by flashing their wedding bands in a event video posted to Instagram.
Speaking more directly to their fans, the couple relessed a video admitting that they are “struggling in some areas” with their relationship but they are most definitely not getting a divorce: “It’s no secret that Chris and I have been struggling in some areas of our marriage and anybody who watched ‘Love & Marriage: DC’ last year, y’all saw the arguments, y’all saw everything that was going on,” the former “Housewife” she said in a YouTube video posted Monday to address the rumors.

“We’ve done a great job at being transparent with everyone that’s either watched us on social media or on the show — on either show – the fact that people are praising a rumor of divorce or a possible dissolution of a marriage […] that’s sad that people were praising that, it’s sad that people were excited about it and then you know, you have a lot of people who love and support our family who are devastated,” she continued.
“Without further explanation, everyone knows that when you say the words separation, that insinuates a divorce. Are Chris and I getting a divorce? No! We aren’t getting a divorce. Are we going our separate ways? Absolutely not, nobody said that. Have we filed a legal separation? No. Have we filed for divorce? No. Is there any document that proves any divorce filings? No. Have we separated to the extent of breaking up? No.”
Now, while that’s all straightened out, there are a few celebrities who have actually called it quotes… For real!
Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict recently announced their separation after 14 years of marriage. Fellow RHO cast member Cynthia Bailey and Mike Hill also recently announced that they are filing for divorce after 2 years together. Following a bunch of rumors, Bailey and Hill released a joint statement to confirm reports. They said earlier this month:
“God does not make mistakes! I truly believe in my heart Mike coming into my life was destiny. I jumped in, both feet first and gave it my all.”
“Although that journey has come to an end,” she continued, “I am so grateful for our continued friendship, and the beautiful memories that we made together. God willing, I will find love again. Whatever is destined to be, will be; and I could not be more excited for my next chapter!”
