She may not be a “Housewife” anymore but Monique Samuels is still a wife.
The “Real Housewives of Potomac” alum and her husband, Chris, appeared to hit back at the rumors that they were splitting after 10 years of marriage by flashing their wedding bands in a video posted to Instagram.
Monique began her Instagram Story by saying she had just gotten back from “hiking all day” and then turned to Chris and asked, “Chris, whatchu have to say about all this?” seemingly in response to the headlines.
“Shop Mila Eve,” he quipped in response, referring to Monique’s online store, prompting her to hysterically laugh.
As Monique, 39, guffaws, she flashes her wedding ring directly in front of the camera.
In a follow-up post, Monique teased that she and Chris would address the rumors head-on themselves.
“No better source than the actual source. Y’all already know how I roll. I give my own d–n exclusives,” she wrote, before prompting fans to tune-in to her YouTube channel Monday evening.
Multiple reports published Sunday claimed the Bravolebrity and the former NFL player, 45, were splitting after 10 years of marriage. The couple share three children, sons Christopher, 9, and Chase, 3, and daughter Milani, 7.
After departing “RHOP,” Monique joined “Love & Marriage: DC,” which documented the couple’s ups and downs. The OWN reality show is returning for a second season, with Monique expected to be on the show.
While filming “Housewives” is no longer part of Monique’s life, she credited the reality show with “saving” her marriage “in some ways.”
“Chris and I, before we started filming that show, we were in a really rough place,” she told Entertainment Tonight in July. “We had lost all of the dating in our marriage. Once we started filming reality TV, it actually helped us because it forced us to date.
“So we were able to get out, just reignite that intimacy and be excited about each other. So I will not lie, season 2 of ‘RHOP’ saved my marriage.”
