RHOP grads Monique and Chris Samuels open up about divorce rumors

Monique Samuels and Chris Samuels talk about the word on the street.

After the couple – who appeared on The Real Housewives of Potomac for four seasons – reportedly split after 10 years of marriage, the couple denied there was any truth to the rumors.

“Are Chris and I going to divorce? No, we’re not getting divorced,” Monique said in an Oct. 17 YouTube video while seated next to Chris. “Are Chris and I going our separate ways? Absolutely not.”

However, as Monique explained, while the couple prepared for the second season of their current show on OWN, Love & Marriage: DC, they went through a “process” that included both parties spending time alone in their respective homes.

“The process we went through to fix our marriage [was] by working on our personal problems”, Monique – who is a mother of children Christopher9, Milan7 and chase, 3, with Chris – shared. “We wanted to step back and focus on ourselves. If I’m not good, I’m not good for him or my kids. If he’s not good, he’s not good for himself, me or the kids.”
