RHOP Alum Monique Samuels Finalizes Divorce From Husband

47

RHOP alums Monique Samuels and Chris Samuels are officially divorced after splitting earlier this year.

PEOPLE reports that Monique Samuels and Chris Samuels finalized their divorce on Monday, September 25, according to a representative from the Montgomery County Family Court.

A judge signed off the divorce earlier this month after the former RHOP couple met for a final divorce hearing.

The terms of Monique and Chris’ split remain unknown as the court has sealed their divorce documents.

Monique, 39, and Chris, 46, married in March 2012. They are parents to daughter Milani, 8, and sons Christopher, 10, and Chase, 4.

In June 2023, it was revealed that Monique filed for divorce from the former NFL star. Per court records, the RHOP alum filed for divorce in April before amending her filing on June 15. The two then engaged in multiple court hearings throughout the summer.

Monique and Chris’ marital woes took center stage during season one of Love & Marriage: D.C. The two reality stars’ marriage also endured several ups and downs during their four years on RHOP.

News of Monique and Chris’ split emerged during BravoCon in October 2022, when PEOPLE reported the two had split after ten years of marriage.

That same month, the RHOP alums addressed the report in a video on their YouTube channel.

“It’s no secret that Chris and I have been struggling in some areas of our marriage, and anybody who watched Love & Marriage: D.C. last year, y’all saw the arguments, y’all saw everything that was going on,” the former RHOP star said in the video.

“It was a lot of confusion; it was crazy building up to that 10-year marker of our marriage and when you’ve been married that long and when you have things that you’re like, ‘Listen, this is being unmet or I’ve been unheard’ you start to get frustrated, and it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, is this what life is going to be? I can’t take it anymore,’” she continued. “So what y’all saw on Love & Marriage: D.C. last season, it was my cry for help.”

The two insisted that they were “absolutely not” separating and were working on their relationship in therapy.

However, therapy clearly couldn’t mend Chris and Monique’s fractured relationship, as they officially split a little over six months after PEOPLE‘s initial report.

The Real Housewives of Potomac returns to Bravo on Sunday, November 5th at 8 p.m. ET.
