Monique Samuels and Chris Samuels’ problems were front and center on LAMDC.
“Love & Marriage: DC” has been an exciting change for Monique Samuels. In fact, ahead of the first season, she said filming for the spinoff has been more positive than her time on RHOP. Monique felt like Charrisse Jackson-Jordan and others came for her marriage. And she was really upset that other cast members brought certain rumors onto the show. In particular, Gizelle Bryant gave life to rumors that accused Monique of cheating with her trainer. The gossip even alleged that their youngest son, Chase Samuels, is not Chris Samuels’ biological child. These are claims that Chris and Monique have denied multiple times.
Ahead of their transition to LAMDC, Monique opened up to Carlos King about marriage problems with Chris. And she told him that she and Chris were on the verge of splitting until she went to a spiritual retreat.
Despite this, it was clear the couple was still having problems on LAMDC. They would argue in front of the other couples. Monique said she was resentful of Chris because it didn’t seem like he was taking her concerns about their marriage seriously. As for Chris, he started to feel like he could never do anything right for Monique. Regardless, the couple said they intended to work things out. But People Magazine recently confirmed they have separated.
While the RHOP cast was at BravoCon recently, they were asked if anyone still talks to Monique. Ashley Darby said they went out to lunch during the previous week. And Monique is going through, “some personal things at the moment.”
After fans began to question what could be going on with Monique on social media, People Magazine later broke the news that Chris and Monique have decided to go their separate ways after a decade of marriage.
UPDATE: Monique and Chris have taken to Instagram to laugh off the report. They are not separating.

I’m honestly not surprised but still disappointed. I hope their divorce isn’t nasty.
I knew this marriage was not going to work. Monique gets on my nerves and she has got above herself and one day she may wish she had stayed with her children father. He put up with a lot of her mess.
Definitely not trying to kick Monique while she’s down but it really seemed like she couldn’t even stand Chris on LAMDC. She even looked over him on her lives. So I felt like this was coming.
That pandemic did a number on people and marriages. People could no longer run from or ignore their problems. A lot of divorces have happened since then.
So they aren’t separated? People is usually very reputable. Plus Ashley’s comments…I guess this is their storyline on LAMDC.
I hope this isn’t true. They seem like they try to met each others needs even if they always make it. Monique seems high maintenance and Chris seems easy going. Maybe their balance is off.
I knew they were not separating you can see CHRIS LOVE SOME FINE A** MONIQUE
They’re growing apart. It happens but I feel Monique hasn’t been right since the fight with Candiace. She’s trying to hide her pain from that. The reunion didn’t help neither.
She needs to deal with that because I believe that’s one issue affecting them.
Chris should be hands-on with their children but is Monique allowing him to do it? I can see her stepping in taking over something he’s doing because she feels it’s not done right.
I really like Monique but she needs to be brought down a few notches.
They addressed this live and said they are NOT getting divorced. Marriage is work! I love my husband dearly and divinely but there are days we sleep in separate rooms and sometimes we say good morning, kiss each other goodbye and can still be upset and in love. Nobody KNEW it wasn’t going to work. We only know these folks through the tv screen. Sigh…SMH
