According to PEOPLE (again) former ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ Star Monique Samuels has filed for divorce from Chris Samuels.
Monique Samuels has filed to legally end her marriage to Chris Samuels.
The Montgomery County Family Court confirmed to PEOPLE on Tuesday that The Real Housewives of Potomac alum, 39, has officially filed for divorce from the former NFL player, 45.
Though Monique has filed a petition to seal the documents, the docket shows that she filed a complaint for absolute divorce on April 14.
She then filed an amended complaint for absolute divorce on June 15.
The former couple’s divorce has yet to be finalized. However, Monique and Chris have a scheduled hearing for Wednesday.
PEOPLE also notes that the couple have not appeared on each other’s respective Instagram grids since December 2022.
Neither party posted anything to commemorate their 11th wedding anniversary on March 3 as well as on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.
Additionally, Chris has unfollowed Monique and her company, Not for Lazy Moms, on Instagram.
Back in 2022
If you recall PEOPLE confirmed their separation in October 2022 a story that the couple refuted on Instagram.
According to US Weekly The former Real Housewives of Potomac stars released a lengthy YouTube video on Monday, October 17, 2022, after seemingly laughing off a People magazine report that they had split.
“Without further explanation, everyone knows that when you say the words separation, that insinuates a divorce. Are Chris and I getting a divorce? No. We aren’t getting a divorce. Are we going our separate ways? Absolutely not. … Have we filed a legal separation? No. Have we filed for divorce? No. Is there any document that proves any divorce filings? No. Have we separated to the extent of breaking up? No,” the former Bravo star declared.
“We decided we were going to spend a couple of nights apart while we were on our counseling journeys. We’ve been communicating a lot better than we have in a long time,” she explained. “We are most definitely still together, we haven’t given up on our marriage, we did not break up and we are not looking to divorce. We are simply trying to be better.”
Chris, for his part, simply noted that it was “very disappointing and it’s a shame that people would put stuff out without fact-checking.”
The former couple — who wed in 2012 — share three children: sons Christopher and Chase, plus daughter Milani.

I’m not surprised at all tbh we haven’t seen them on each other social media in a long time and or pictures together as a family. I hope they are both in a good space and continue to grow in their coparenting and individually.#LAMDC #RHOP #ChrisSamuels #MoniqueSamuels pic.twitter.com/jVf0SPpDc7
