Monique Samuels Was "Devastated" When NeNe and Gregg Leakes Briefly Broke Up

BravoTV.com:

If every time you see NeNe and Gregg Leakes together, it doesn't warm your heart, you may need to check your pulse. The Real Housewives of Atlanta couple is #RelationshipGoals, especially after they worked through their marital issues and remarried in 2013 to come back stronger than ever. 

NeNe and Gregg's love story has definitely been an inspiration to one Real Housewife: Monique Samuels. "Oh my goodness, I remember when NeNe and Gregg broke up. I was devastated, because I love them as a couple, like together, and then when they got back together, you could just see that the respect level for each other shifted so much. And Gregg was just worshipping the ground NeNe walks on," The Real Housewives of Potomac mom recently gushed to The Daily Dish. "A lot of times, the woman, we're the ones that's always pushing the man, and then they ended up breaking up, getting divorced, and then when they got back together, it was him, he's her biggest cheerleader, so I really enjoyed that." 

Monique, who became a Real Housewives superfan long before she ever got into the world herself, said she also admired how Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker similarly overcame adversity to keep their relationship alive. "She was having issues with her mom leading up to them getting married," Monique said. "And to see them still going strong, they have a baby boy, I really enjoy seeing that. Like, it really makes me smile."
